Common mistake He new (knew)
Common English Grammar Mistakes
Mistake #1: He new (knew)
One common mistake is confusing the words "he new" with the correct form "he knew." The word "new" refers to something that is fresh, while "knew" is the past tense of the verb "to know." For example:
- Incorrect: He new about the surprise party.
- Correct: He knew about the surprise party.
Mistake #2: Did you mean I'm?
Another common mistake is using "I'm" incorrectly. "I'm" is the contraction of "I am," which is used to express possession or state of being. For example:
- Incorrect: Did you meant I'm going to the store?
- Correct: Did you mean I'm going to the store?
Mistake #3: Did you mean knew (past of 'to know')?
Sometimes, the incorrect form "knew" is used instead of the intended word. This mistake often occurs due to confusion with homophones. Here's an example of this mistake:
- Incorrect: She new the answer to the riddle.
- Correct: She knew the answer to the riddle.
