5 Most Common Grammar Errors

  1. Punctuation- if you don't know the punctuation rule, don't punctuate it. Example: Use commas when attributing from quoted material.
  2. Subject Verb Agreement- some nouns that appear to be plural are treated as singular. Example: Girl Scouts.
  3. Correct Use of Pronouns- when using singular pronouns, use singular verbs. Example: Each of the rose bushes was at its peak.
  4. Sentence Structure- making sure that a serie of phrases form a parallel structure. Example: I enjoy reading and biking.
  5. Correct Word Usage- writers need to be careful about their word usage error because they could l ose their credibility from the readers. Example: accept and except.
