Common questions

Powered by AI

The subject "crowd," although it refers to multiple individuals, is singular, so it requires a singular verb. The sentence should be corrected to: "The crowd of protestors was shouting slogans outside the parliament" .

The phrase "himself personally" is redundant. It should be corrected to eliminate redundancy: "The report was reviewed by the director himself" or simply "The report was reviewed personally by the director" .

The pronoun "I" is incorrectly used in the sentence. The correct pronoun should be the objective case "me" because it follows a preposition: "Between you and me, the presentation could have been improved" .

The subject "Every student and teacher" requires a singular verb for agreement. The correct sentence should be: "Every student and teacher has to follow the updated examination rules" .

The sentence lacks parallel structure due to the inconsistent use of verb forms. All elements should follow the same grammatical pattern: "The new policy aims to promote efficiency, transparency, and fairness in all operations" .

The sentence is ambiguous, suggesting that "the faint sound of music" is doing the walking. To clarify, it should specify who is walking: "As she walked down the corridor, the faint sound of music reached her ears" .

The grammatical error in the sentence is subject-verb disagreement. The correct subject is "series," which is singular, so the verb should also be singular: "The series of lectures was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances" .

The modifier "Running swiftly through the forest" is misplaced, making it seem as though the mountain is running. To correct it: "Running swiftly through the forest, she felt that the mountain appeared closer than it actually was" .

The subject "Each" is singular and should take a singular verb. The sentence should be corrected to: "Each of the participants was asked to present their findings" .
