Common mistake Missing verb: PRONOUN + NOUN (VERB)
Common Mistake: Missing Verb After Pronoun
Using a noun immediately after a pronoun can result in a grammatical error. Instead, you should use a verb or an adverb, or possibly another part of speech.
Let's take a look at some examples:
- "Did you mean to write 'in' here?"
- "Did you forget to add 'or'?"
- "Did you mean to use the object pronoun 'us' here?"
- "Did you mean to use the possessive pronoun 'its' here?"
In all these examples, a verb is missing after the pronoun. The correct way to construct these sentences would be:
- "Did you mean to write 'in' here?" -> "Did you mean to write 'in' here?"
- "Did you forget to add 'or'?" -> "Did you forget to add 'or'?"
- "Did you mean to use the object pronoun 'us' here?" -> "Did you mean to use the object pronoun 'us' here?"
- "Did you mean to use the possessive pronoun 'its' here?" -> "Did you mean to use the possessive pronoun 'its' here?"
It's important to pay attention to the grammar structure when using pronouns to ensure clear and correct communication.
