hello James what are you doing  aren't you supposed to be in class

now good morning teacher yeah but my  teacher is late today I came here to  

buy something to drink oh I see well I also  came here to buy something to eat I'm in my  

break okay teacher now that we have a little  time I need you to help me with something

please sure I think we have some  minutes what can I do for you

James well I didn't do well on my last  exam in fact I got one of the lowest  

grades I'm surprised when you were my  student you were one of the best in the

class I'm good at speaking listening and  writing but I have some issues at grammar

teacher yeah I remember you didn't  do well in grammar you used to make a  

lot of mistakes exactly I'm still making  making many mistakes in grammar help me

please no matter what type of work you  do good grammar is relevant for all

organizations and it can make a big  difference in your career path believe

me I've heard managers complain about employees  not knowing how to write a correct English  

sentence that's why I will help you telling  you the most common grammar mistakes in

English first thing apostrophes  wrong we need to get our sales  

numbers up right we need to get our sales  number numbers up that's the correct way  

this is an example of the old too  frequent attack of the unnecessary

apostrophe people see an S at the end of a  word and think I an apostrophe seriously but  

often they shouldn't you use an apostrophe in  a contraction for example there is to DAR or  

to show possession for example the manager's  pet Bobby you don't use apostrophes if the S  

is there simply to make a word a plural  remember that another common mistake I  

usually see is every day and every day the  wrong way is he starts work every day at 8  

a.m. and the right way is he starts work every  day at 800 a.m. every day one word no space is  

an adjective yeah that's correct it is an  adjective describing something that's very

common like an everyday occurrence every  day with the space is an adverbial phrase  

that means each day a quick test to tell which  is right if you can use a day of the week say  

Monday in the sentence you should use every  day what I mean is every day one word is an  

adjective meaning used or seen daily or ordinary  one example is the phone calls were an everyday  

occurrence every day two words is an adverb  phrase meaning daily or every weekday for

example they go to the coffee shop every day  I hope you understand with these examples

another common grammar mistake  is I and me that's very

common the wrong way the marketing manager told  Riley and I to talk with her the correct way  

would be the marketing manager told Riley  and me to talk with her the general rule  

use I when it's the subject of a verb  for example I walked to the store use  

me when the pronoun is the object of the  verb or when the verb is doing something  

to someone or something for example the  dog followed me to the store do you get

it if you do please I need you to write some  examples on the comments I will correct them  

all another common mistake I have seen very  usually is the difference between it and

it wrong the company just celebrated  its eighth year since it went

public the correct way is the company  just celebrated its eighth year since  

it went public I have seen a lot of people  write it when they want to show possession

seriously but that's the incorrect usage the  problem is we normally do use the apostrophe  

to show ownership as I told you before  for only we use it when you're writing  

a contraction of it is that said it's sometimes  hard to understand English and all of its weird  

rules and exceptions another grammar mistake less  and fewer for example less than 50 people showed  

up for the presentation that's incorrect  fewer than 50 people showed up for the

presentation that's the correct way use  fewer for numbered countable things 100  

fewer purchases use less for things that can't  be counted at least reasonably there's less sand  

at this Bish also use less with numbers  when they are a single or total unit that  

measures distance amount or time for example  less than 30% of us bothered learning these

rules another typical grammar mistake is who  and whom I will explain it to you who is the  

subject of the sentence for example who will  be hosting the party this weekend whereas whom  

is the object of the sentence example to whom  should I send the package or who's and who's  

it is very simple who's is a contraction of  who is for example who's ready for the exam  

on on Friday you see who's is the possessive  form of who a relative pronoun for example  

whose laptop is this and another common mistake  is each and every I'm sure you also had this

problem it's not difficult each indicates  two or more items where as every indicates  

three or more items additionally each refers  to the individual items in a group while every  

refers to the group as a whole for example  each of my children made me a Mother's Day

card and every one of my co-workers  is going to the de dinner

tonight and we still haven't talked about the  difference with between and among but I have  

to go now yeah I also have to go to my class  but you have helped me a lot teacher thank you
