Common Grammar Mistake: "Can be access"

One common grammatical mistake that many people make is using the phrase "can be access" instead of "can be accessed". This error occurs when the verb "access" is used in the passive voice.

Let's take a closer look at why this mistake happens and how to correct it:

Understanding the Passive Voice

In English grammar, the passive voice is used to shift the focus from the subject performing the action to the object receiving the action. It is formed by using the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb.

For example:

  • Active voice: "John accessed the file."
  • Passive voice: "The file was accessed by John."

Mistake: "Can be access"

The mistake occurs when people use the phrase "can be access" instead of the correct form "can be accessed". The word "access" is the base form of the verb, but in the passive voice, we need to use its past participle form, "accessed".

Incorrect: "The document can be access by anyone."

Correct: "The document can be accessed by anyone."

Correcting the Mistake

To correct this mistake, simply change the word "access" to its past participle form, "accessed".

Incorrect: "The files can be access from the shared drive."

Correct: "The files can be accessed from the shared drive."
