Common errors list
Usage of un-necessary commas: I really don’t like that
scarf, although, it looks rather nice, on you.
Not knowing when to use a semi-colon or comma: I’m quite
glad that it was so tough; I believe it has prepared me for next year and has
set helpful guidelines for me that I wont forget.
Run-on sentences: When I saw the thing hovering in the air,
it looked rather frightening, I soon realized it was an alien spacecraft, I was
afraid that I may get abducted or what not.
Issues with quoting: Then Reginald said “, I don’t think
that’s the right thing to do at all”.
Switching between tenses: Talking about something that
already happened “That was a horrid thing really, but it isn’t that bad I
suppose. Maybe it will be.”
Repetition of words: It is rather nice that you got that
good grade, but my grade was rather bad. I hope I get a rather good grade on
the next assignment.
