Book excerpt: This book analyzes the errors most commonly made in spoken and written English and presents them in a systematic, down-to-earth manner. It does not dictate grammar to the reader; rather, it presents the guidelines for English usage currently being observed by the most competent and careful speakers and writers. The most troublesome words and phrases—as well as grammatical terms—are listed alphabetically within 18 subject areas to enable the reader to check quickly on questions of usage. In each case, illustrative examples are given, and the guiding principle is stated for the reader to follow in avoiding the mistake and others similar to it. An extensive index for additional ease of reference helps make this book a handy tool for the modern reader who realizes that mere knowledge is no longer sufficient—that one must be able to express his knowledge clearly, forcefully, and correctly.

Download or read book How to Avoid Common Errors in English written by Manoj Kumar and published by Shri Sai Printographers. This book was released on 2021-07-03 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most often we are judged by our language and misjudged because of the common errors in our language. A person interacting with you for the first time does mind your language and your language does make a favourable or unfavourable impression on the person and it does account for your success or failure in any attempt you make to achieve something. In fact, no great people of the world would have been great if they had not had the language they had. Unlike other books on common errors, the errors in this book have not been categorized into different chapters based on grammar.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II. COMMON ERRORS. Grammatical correctness is the first necessity in composition; but it is not intended here to enter into the technicalities of grammar. A practical knowledge of grammar must be presupposed in those studying composition; but a practical knowledge of grammar need not imply a knowledge of school-book rules: the grammar of one's native language is acquired, by those who live among cultivated people, without any such study; and indeed many of our best writers have no knowledge of grammar as a science, and would find extreme difficulty in parsing a word that a small board-school child would know all about at once. You say "John and I are going," not "John and I is going," because the first phrase sounds right, not because you know that the rule is that with two subjects the verb is in the plural. Thus the use is not governed by rule, but one recognises what the rule must be by what one says. But, whether a writer have an instinctive knowledge of grammar or a school knowledge of grammar, he will find, because of the small amount of inflection in English, that it is a language peculiarly conducive to error. In Latin, though there are certain customs in the arrangement of the words, such as that of generally placing the adjective after its substantive and the verb late in the sentence, yet, because of the linking of the words together by their inflexions or terminations, the words of a sentence might be thrown into almost any order without really disturbing the sense. But in English the sense depends entirely on the order in which the words are arranged. Hence the chief source of error in writing English is the bad arrangement of the words in a sentence, to the confusion of the sense, --" miscollocation," as it is...

Download or read book The Broadview Book of Common Errors in English Fifth Edition written by Don LePan and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2003-04-17 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Broadview Book of Common Errors in English offers full coverage of such common mistakes as commas splices, sentence fragments, words frequently confused, words frequently misspelled, mixed metaphors, and subject-verb agreement errors. In each case the problem is clearly explained, with examples illustrating both the nature of the trouble and how to put it right. Unlike many guides to grammar and usage, The Broadview Book refrains from dogmatism; it treats correctness in English not as an unchanging objective standard laden with moral overtones, but rather as a code of convenience that is extraordinarily useful in helping humans to communicate effectively and even elegantly. It thus retains an openness to the inevitable process of change in the English language, and recognizes that change does not imply debasement. The fifth edition has been updated throughout, and includes new material on capitalization; on the connections between clear writing and clear arguments; on academic citation systems; on business writing; and on particular difficulties experienced by those whose first language is not English.
