To import into my Anki deck
Please correct all the expressions here.
I want to make sure these sentences are correct because they will show up quite often during my Anki review. Anki is an electronic flashcard system that helps with memorization. I am kind of a serious student of English;)

What you wrote was correct. However in school, tests more often use the words "list," "state," or "give." (If the answers are proper nouns, the word "name" may be used.)

Say this phrase to a shopkeeper when you are just looking around things.
This is a sentence fragment. (Actually, sentence fragments are okay to use on flashcards, but I thought you might prefer a complete sentence. Also, "say" is appropriate here because the question specifies that you are addressing a person.)

This phrase "an expression of excuse for being late" is unusual to me, but I think it's correct.

Feedback
As always, I made very nitpicky corrections! I used a slightly different style than the previous reviewer, who chose sentence fragments as Anki prompts. As I mentioned earlier, sentence fragments are also okay to use.

Say this phrase to a shopkeeper when you are just looking around things.
Now I think I confusingly wrote the original sentence. I wanted the sentence, "I'm just browsing," to be the answer of that question. How about asking with "What do you want to say to a shopkeeper when you are just looking around?" Or do you have another suggestion?

The nitpicky corrections are welcome! And "Yes": because it is harder for me to write full correct sentences than parts of them, practicing to write in sentences is pretty helpful.

I like, "What can you say to a shopkeeper when you are just looking around?"

“Quite often” doesn’t sound quite right to me, although i can’t tell you exactly why (sorry!). “Frequently” seems like a better choice for this context.
