Good grammar is the foundation of effective communication. Here are 10 mistakes students commonly make:
1. Subject-verb agreement: "The group of students ARE" → should be "IS"
2. Misusing "their", "there", "they're"
3. Comma splices: joining two independent clauses with just a comma
4. Dangling modifiers
5. Using "less" vs "fewer" incorrectly
6. Confusing "affect" and "effect"
7. Double negatives
8. Incorrect apostrophe use
9. Run-on sentences
10. Passive voice overuse
Practice by writing one paragraph daily and reviewing it the next day!
