COMMON ENGLISH ERRORS

Hi, here are 3 things I want to talk about:

1) The use of capital letters.

2) Commas

3) The word "often".




The use of capital letters

Here's a question. Do you know that after every sentence, you need to begin a new one with a capital letter? If you do not do it, you'll be penalised for the grammatical error.

Benedict also wants to emphasize that every name, country or language begins with a capital letter. For example, Young Jun came from Korea to Singapore and is working hard on his English.


Commas

put a comma after "Thus" and "However"

Eg.

It was raining. Thus, he carried an umbrella home.

Eminem is a successful rapper. However, his family broke up because of his career.



Often

Okay, pleaaase don't make this error ever again. There is no such word as "oftenly".

Eg.

I often wish for a star to fall from the sky.
