Common Grammar Mistakes

Mistake 1:
Sentence: These people are really geniuses, but will those cloned become scientists as we expected?

There is a Verb Tense mistake here. The word “expected” should be changed to “expect” to agree with the simple tense here.

The corrected sentence: These people are really geniuses, but will those cloned become scientists as we expect?


Mistake 2:

Sentence: All of these magical things come into reality in twenty-first century.

There are two mistakes here. First one is the verb tense problem. It should be simple past tense because of the twenty-first century. Hence the “come” should be “came” instead. Second mistake is there is a missing article in front of the “twenty-first century”. The definite article “the” should always be used in front of the ordinal.

The correct sentence: All of these magical things came into reality in the twenty-first century.


Mistake 3;

Sentence: The administrator have informed all the staff about the new policy.

The mistake here is the subject-verb agreement. Since the “administrator” is singular, the verb should be “has” instead of “have”. In order to make these two agree with each other, we can either change “administrator” to plural or change “have” to “has”.

The corrected sentence: The administrators have informed all the staff about the new policy.
