BEING ABLE TO WRITE IN ENGLISH >>>> update

[white tulip]

Being able to write properly in English is a very powerful skill to have.

It can open many doors.

BUT

English is a funny language. There are so many different rules
which makes it a very difficult language to master.

What's even more difficult is writing it. There are words that
may sound correct together, but when you put them together in a
sentence they are actually technically wrong.


I have included more than 100 of the most common mistakes to avoid it
here are the most common mistake
1. According to
• Incorrect: According to me, she should have resigned earlier.
• Correct: In my opinion, she should have resigned earlier.
We do not give our own opinions with according to.

2. Across and through
The difference between across and through is similar to the difference between
on and in. We use through to talk about movement in three dimensional spaces
with things on all sides.
• We walked across the field. (= We were on the field.)• We walked through the wood. (= We were in the wood.)

3. Adjectives ending in -ly
• Incorrect: She smiled friendly.
• Correct: She smiled in a friendly way.
• Incorrect: He laughed silly.
• Correct: He gave a silly laugh
Here the error lies in using an adjective instead of an adverb. We use adverbs to
modify verbs. Most adverbs end in –ly; there are also a few adjectives that end in –
ly. Examples are: costly, friendly, lively, likely, lonely, lovely, silly and ugly. There
are no adverbs costly/costlily or friendly/friendlily.

4. Ago and before
• Incorrect: His father died three years before.
• Correct: His father died three years ago.
Ago is used to count back from the present. It is used with a past tense and a time
expression. Before is used when you date back from any point of time which is
made specific.
• I saw him two years before I went to England.

5. All and every
• Incorrect: Every children need love.
• Correct: Every child needs love.
• Incorrect: All the light was out.
• Correct: All the lights were out.
Every is used with a singular noun. All is used with a plural noun.

6. All right and alright
The standard spelling is all right, but alright is more common although many
people consider it incorrect.

7. Already and all ready
• Incorrect: We are already for the show.
• Correct: We are all ready for the show.
• Incorrect: They have all ready arrived.
• Correct: They have already arrived.
All ready means ‘all are ready’. Already means 'by now' or 'sooner than
expected'.
• The train had already left before we reached the station.
• The patient had already died before the doctor arrived.

8. Alternate and alternative
Alternative means 'different', 'instead', 'on the other hand'.
• We will make an alternative arrangement if these plans don't suit you.
• I had to go. There was no alternative.
Alternate means 'every second' or 'in turns'.
He only comes to work on alternate days.

9. Altogether and all together
Altogether means ‘entirely’ or ‘everything considered’.
• I don’t altogether agree.
• It is altogether wrong to ill-treat animals.
All together simply means ‘everybody / everything together’.
• They all went out together.
• She put the glasses all together in the sink.
