Hi, Can I say, (A) We went to the jewellery shop to buy some jewellery for my cousin for her marriage as her presents. It's very ugly and awkward English to have so many phrases following after one another like this. I suggest this.

Hi,

We go to the jewellery shop to buy some jewellery for ..............

Now you are not talking about the past.

Try to avoid repeating words, eg 'jewellery'.

Best wishes, Clive
