Tips for error spotting in the English Language
1. Certain nouns being a singular form represent plurality and therefore, take a plural verb in a sentence.
Example: police, clergy, people, peasantry, cattle.
2. Certain nouns take the plural verb because of their plural form.
Example: Clothes, Scissors, trousers, amends, spectacles, thanks.
3. When a noun denoting weight, number, money, length or measure is following a number, the noun form does not change as long as another noun or pronoun follows it.
Example: Million, pair, meter, year, dozen.
4. When the pronoun ‘one’ is used, it should be maintained throughout the whole sentence.
5. For living people ‘whose’ is generally used and for things that are non-living ‘which’ is used.
6. ‘Fewer’ is used for denoting number while ‘Less’ is used for denoting quantity.
7. Sentences are always opposite to question tags, for example, if the question tag is positive then the sentence is negative and vice versa.
8. Instead of ‘who’ or ‘which’, the relative pronoun ‘that’ is used after adjectives in the superlative degree.
9. ‘As’ is used both before and after the adjective to show equality.
