It is, it is: hie hence, be gone, away! It is the lark that sings so out of tune, Straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps

Answer:

Quoted from Ju liet's speech in Act III scene v of the play "Romeo and Ju liet" written by William Shakespeare.

Explanation:

The passage is a quote from Act III scene v of the play "Romeo and Ju liet" by William Shakespeare. Romeo and his lover Ju liet are from two feuding families, which poses the greatest threat to their "happily-ever-after'.

These lines spoken by Ju liet is from the scene right after they had spent the night together as a couple. But being a secret marriage, they still have to hide their real status so Romeo must leave her room before her parents find out. The nurse had come to warn them of her approaching mother Lady Capulet, which saves them. Ju liet's words in the excerpt shows how she also pines for him to be with her. She laments that while "some say the lark makes sweet division", for them it is not sweet but rather a separation.

What two types of grammatical errors is a nonnative speaker of English likely to make? substitution of a simple form of a verb f

bezimeni [28]

Two types of grammatical errors that nonnative speakers of English tend to make are:

Substitution of a simple form of a verb for all tenses

English can be hard to learn as a second language, specially when it comes to learning irregular verb forms for all tenses. For example, the verb drink changes in all tenses: drank (past simple) and drunk (past participle).

As a consequence, nonnative speakers tend to use the simplest form of the verb, as in: Yesterday I drink orange juice for breakfast*. Here, drink was used instead of drank, which is the correct form of the verb for the past simple tense.

2. Omision of an article

Since virtually every rule for the use of articles in English has many exceptions or subrules, and the interactions that occur when two or more rules apply can be very difficult to predict, nonnative also tend to omit articles a/an or the as in I threw ball* . Here, for instance, it is important to learn about countability, that is, if the noun phrase following the article is countable or not. Ball is the noun phrase in the given example and it is strongly countable in this context. Therefore, the correct use would be I threw the ball.

Regarding the use of ain't in place of other contracted forms when speaking English as a second language, it is a less common grammatical error since it is informal English.
While substitution of one part of speech for another can occur, this is not the most common grammatical error made by nonnative English speakers.
