Human beings are prewired for language. As infants we begin to learn language as the direct result of hearing it, not as a result of formal instruction. The process, called natural language acquisition, moves through a series of distinct developmental stages ending in basically adult-level language use in pronunciation and vocabulary in as soon as five years. The learner's language is profoundly influenced by language environment, including factors such as geographical region, ethnicity, and social grouping, all of whose characteristics shape the speaker's language use in distinct ways.

Mastery of Standard English, on the other hand, requires formal instruction. The focus is on getting everyone to use a single variety of English in public settings for sake of clear communication. Students must learn rules for how to pronounce and spell words and use them in sentences. They must learn how to speak and write English following specific forms and levels of formality, depending on the occasion and audience. They must learn how to read a variety of Standard English texts for a variety of purposes. Mastery of Standard English is an important mark of education and is expected of employees in the workplace and in a variety of other public settings.

<h3>What is a Passive Sentence?</h3>

  • Then, make that agent the sentence's subject, then alter the verb to match.

  • The expedition in Mongolia made the discovery of the first recognized examples of dinosaur eggs.

Identify the type of pronoun error in the sentence. The papers are on the desk that I corrected. reference case agreement
Nat2105 [25]

The correct answer is Reference

Explanation:

In grammar, a pronoun reference error occurs when a pronoun especially the pronouns "that", "those", "it" does not relate correctly to the noun it is replaces which lead to confusing, absurd or ambiguous constructions. This is called a pronoun reference error because the relationship between the pronoun and the noun it refers to that act as a reference or antecedent is not clear. This occurs in the sentence "The papers are on the desk that I corrected", in which the pronoun "that" seemed to refer to the desk when it actually refers to the paper and therefore the relationship between the pronoun "that" and the antecedent "the papers" is not clear. Thus, the type of pronoun error in this sentence is a reference or pronoun reference error.
