Common Errors Common errors in sentences often arise from issues related to grammar, punctuation, syntax, and clarity. Here are some common types of errors and explanations: 1.

Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement Errors: • Error: Each of the students can choose their own topic. • Correction: Each of the students can choose his or her own topic. • Explanation: The pronoun "their" does not agree with the singular antecedent "each."
3. Run-on Sentences: • Error: I like pizza it is my favorite food. • Correction: I like pizza; it is my favorite food. • Explanation: A run-on sentence occurs when two independent clauses are not properly separated. 4. Comma Splices: • Error: She finished her project, she submitted it on time. • Correction: She finished her project, and she submitted it on time. • Explanation: A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma. 5. Misplaced or Dangling Modifiers: • Error: Running late for the bus, my keys were forgotten on the kitchen table. • Correction: Running late for the bus, I forgot my keys on the kitchen table. • Explanation: The modifier "Running late for the bus" should be positioned to clearly modify the subject. 6. Double Negatives: • Error: I don't need no help. • Correction: I don't need any help. • Explanation: Double negatives, like "don't need no," create confusion and are grammatically incorrect. 7. Incorrect Word Usage: • Error: He is adverse to taking risks. • Correction: He is averse to taking risks.
• Explanation: "Adverse" means unfavorable, while "averse" means having a strong dislike or opposition. 8. Incomplete Sentences: • Error: Although tired. • Correction: Although tired, I decided to finish my work. • Explanation: An incomplete sentence lacks a subject or a verb, making it grammatically incorrect. 9. Confusing Homophones: • Error: Their going to the park without they're dog. • Correction: They're going to the park without their dog. • Explanation: Confusing homophones, like "their," "there," and "they're," can lead to errors in meaning. 10.
