i don't get what you're trying to say in the first sentence

[merry bone]

Ooh

[glacial scroll]

for the second sentence, it should be « On a d__é__cidé de prendre le bus... »

[merry bone]

Autocorrect is not liking me

[glacial scroll]

lol

[merry bone]

It’s meant to be allions

[merry bone]

Why’s that?

[glacial scroll]

you want to say "On Sunday, my friends and I went to Belfast to go shopping"?

[merry bone]

Yeah

My leaving cert exam is in a week and a half

Am I cooked?

[glacial scroll]

in French, we say « décider de (faire quelque chose) »
e.g. J'ai décidé de faire mes devoirs tôt. ("I decided to do my homework early")
it's just how the verb is structured
kinda like how we use "to" in Englsih in "decide to (do something)"

[merry bone]

Ahhh

Ok

I get you now

[glacial scroll]

that would be « Dimache, mes amis et moi sommes allés à Belfast pour faire des courses. »

you shouldn't use l'imparfait here because it is a specific action that happened at a specific time

which means le passé composé should be used instead

[merry bone]

Ok

Getting there

[glacial scroll]

hmm...

[merry bone]

My French teacher was shite

[glacial scroll]

you just need to watch out for simple mistakes like these
