20 Common Grammar Mistakes I’ve edited a monthly magazine for more than six years, and it’s a job that’s come with more frustration than reward. If there’s one thing I am grateful for — and it sure isn’t the pay — it’s that my work has allowed endless time to hone my craft to Louis Skolnick levels of grammar geekery. As someone who slings red ink for a living, let me tell you: grammar is an ultra-micro component in the larger picture; it lies somewhere in the final steps of the editing trail; and as such it’s an overrated quasi-irrelevancy in the creative process, perpetuated into importance primarily by bitter nerds who accumulate tweed jackets and crippling inferiority complexes. Below are 20 common grammar mistakes I see routinely, not only in editorial queries and submissions, but in print: in HR manuals, blogs, magazines, newspapers, trade journals, and even best selling novels. Who and Whom This one opens a big can of worms. Which and That Lay and Lie This is the crown jewel of all grammatical errors. Moot Nor

Choosing the correct preposition Introduction All learners of English, and many native speakers, sometimes have difficulty in choosing the correct preposition. This is, in part, because there are no real rules that can be followed. In one study, preposition errors represented the largest category, about 29%, of all the grammatical errors by 53 intermediate to advanced non-native speaker students (Bitchener et al., 2005). However, there are three approaches that can helpfully be adopted by the learner: reading extensively in English to promote acquisition of the correct forms; consulting a good dictionary, such as The Macmillan Online Dictionary to discover which prepositions are correct after the adjectives, nouns or verbs you want to use; and memorisation of lists of words with the prepositions that usually follow them.

Adverbs Page 1 Adverbs are used to modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb: [1] Mary sings beautifully [2] David is extremely clever [3] This car goes incredibly fast In [1], the adverb beautifully tells us how Mary sings. In [2], extremely tells us the degree to which David is clever. Finally, in [3], the adverb incredibly tells us how fast the car goes. Before discussing the meaning of adverbs, however, we will identify some of their formal characteristics. Formal Characteristics of Adverbs From our examples above, you can see that many adverbs end in -ly. Because of their distinctive endings, these adverbs are known as -LY ADVERBS. Like adjectives, many adverbs are GRADABLE, that is, we can modify them using very or extremely: The modifying words very and extremely are themselves adverbs. Like adjectives, too, some adverbs can take COMPARATIVE and SUPERLATIVE forms, with -er and -est: In the formation of comparatives and superlatives, some adverbs are irregular: Adverbs and Adjectives

Subject - Verb Agreement Self Teaching Unit: Subject - Verb Agreement © 2000, 1978 Margaret L. Benner All rights reserved. Although you are probably already familiar with basic subject-verb agreement, this chapter begins with a quick review of basic agreement rules. Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). In the present tense, nouns and verbs form plurals in opposite ways: nouns ADD an s to the singular form; verbs REMOVE the s from the singular form. These agreement rules do not apply to verbs used in the simple past tense without any helping verbs. The agreement rules do, however, apply to the following helping verbs when they are used with a main verb: is-are, was-were, has-have, does-do. The agreement rules do not apply to has-have when used as the SECOND helping verb in a pair. They do NOT apply to any other helping verbs, such as can, could, shall, should, may, might, will, would, must. Now click on the link below to do exercise 1.
