post#6-grammar mistakes

In this post I state three most common grammar mistakes which are subject-verb agreement, verb form and also sentences clauses.

For subject-verb agreement, some indefinite pronouns are particularly troublesome Everyone and everybody certainly feel like more than one person and, therefore, students are sometimes tempted to use a plural verb with them. They are always singular, though. Each is often followed by a prepositional phrase ending in a plural word (Each of the cars), thus confusing the verb choice. Each, too, is always singular and requires a singular verb.
Everyone has finished his or her homework.

You would always say, "Everybody is here." This means that the word is singular and nothing will change that.

Each of the students is responsible for doing his or her work in the library.

Don't let the word "students" confuse you; the subject is each and each is always singular.

All verbs have 5 forms. We know that each verb has its own form in different time phase. And I always made a lot of mistakes due to insufficient of reading, Here are some examples:

1) If you sent me home first you can.....It sounds right but we must use 'take' instead of 'sent' here.

2) We will be going to your house at 6 so please wait for us.Use 'coming' and not 'going'

Sentences are fundamental in organizing an essay, there is only a poor essay without goo sentences. We usually use adjective clauses and adverb clauses in our essay and below are my common mistakes:

1) It encourages the idea what juveniles should be given a second chance.The correct answer is 'that' and not 'what'.

2) What she loves is Indian food.

Clause Sentences must connected by coordinators or transitions. Here is 1 example:

1) Although the price of electricity is increasing, but we continue to consume more and more of it. Omit the coordinator 'but'.
