دو اشتباه رایج در زبان انگلیسی که باید بدانید!
1. Pronoun Disagreement
Some of the most common grammar mistakes are pronoun errors. They occur when pronouns do not agree in number with the nouns to which they refer. If the noun is singular, the pronoun must be singular. If the noun is plural, the pronoun must be plural as well.
For example:
- Incorrect: “Every girl must bring their own lunch.”
- Correct: “Every girl must bring her own lunch.”
Pronoun errors are common in modern English, as writers try to avoid awkward phrasing or the implication of sexist language. Although this is an admirable goal, it is still important to learn the correct grammar and use it in more formal situations.
2. Mistakes in Apostrophe Usage
Apostrophes are used to show possession. However, you do not use an apostrophe after a possessive pronoun such as my, mine, our, ours, his, hers, its, their, or theirs.
For example:
- Incorrect: “My mothers cabin is next to his’ cabin.”
- Correct: “My mother’s cabin is next to his cabin.”
In the case of it’s, the apostrophe is used only to indicate a contraction for “it is.”
For example:
- Incorrect: “Its a cold day for October.”
- Correct: “It’s a cold day for October.”
