Usage Errors
Which sentence has NO error?
- a.There are less cars on the road today.
- b.There is fewer cars on the road today.
- c.There are lesser cars on the road today.
- d.There are fewer cars on the road today.✓
'Fewer' is used with countable nouns like 'cars', and the plural subject takes 'are'. 'Less' is for uncountable nouns.
Usage Errors
Identify the correct sentence.
- a.The manager and I discussed the plan.✓
- b.The manager and me discussed the plan.
- c.Me and the manager discussed the plan.
- d.The manager and myself discussed the plan.
As the subject of the verb 'discussed', the subject pronoun 'I' is correct. 'Me' is an object pronoun and 'myself' cannot be a plain subject.
Usage Errors
Which sentence is correct?
- a.I am knowing her for many years.
- b.I have known her for many years.✓
- c.I know her since many years.
- d.I have knew her for many years.
'Know' is a stative verb not normally used in the continuous. The present perfect 'have known' with 'for many years' correctly shows a state continuing to now.
Usage Errors
Choose the error-free sentence.
- a.She suggested us to leave early.
- b.She suggested we to leave early.
- c.She suggested that we leave early.✓
- d.She suggested to leave early to us.
'Suggest' is not followed by an object + infinitive. The correct pattern is 'suggest that + clause', as in 'suggested that we leave early'.
