Top 10 Common English Grammar Errors in Online Forums

Top 10 Common English Grammar Errors in Online Forums Introduction Hello everyone! As an English teacher, I've noticed some recurring grammar mistakes in online forums. In this video, I'll be sharing the top 10 errors and how to avoid them. Let's get started! 1. Confusing 'Your' and 'You're' One of the most common errors is mixing up 'your' and 'you're.' 'Your' shows possession, while 'you're' is a contraction of 'you are.' Remember, if you can replace the word with 'you are,' use 'you're.' 2. Misusing 'Their,' 'They're,' and 'There' These three words sound the same but have different meanings. 'Their' indicates possession, 'they're' is short for 'they are,' and 'there' refers to a place. Double-check which one fits the context. 3. Overusing Apostrophes Apostrophes are used for contractions and to show possession. However, they're not needed for plural nouns. For example, 'cats' is correct, while 'cat's' implies possession. 4. Incorrect Subject-Verb Agreement
