Error Correction
At B2, errors are subtler: wrong verb patterns, misused conditionals, and confusion between similar structures. This chapter helps you detect them.
Verb Patterns and Reported Speech
Watch for the wrong complement ('suggest to go' should be 'suggest going') and incorrect backshift in reported speech ('He said he will come' should be 'He said he would come').
Structure Confusions
Common slips include 'used to' vs 'be used to', mixed conditionals, and double comparatives. Checking the intended meaning usually reveals the correct form.
