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

  1. 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 <em>drink</em> changes in all tenses: <em>drank</em> (past simple) and<em> drunk</em> (past participle).

As a consequence, nonnative speakers tend to use the simplest form of the verb, as in: <em><u>Yesterday</u></em><em> I </em><em><u>drink</u></em><em> orange juice for breakfast*. </em>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 <em>a/an</em> or <em>the</em> as in <em>I threw ball*</em> . Here, for instance, it is important to learn about countability, that is, if the noun phrase following the article is countable or not. <u>Ball</u> is the noun phrase in the given example and it is strongly countable in this context. Therefore, the correct use would be <em>I threw the ball.</em>

  • 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 <u>informal</u> 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.

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
kumpel [21]
You should place commas around a phrase the at adds additional information to the sentence, but which is not necessary.

1)<span>Tanna president of the National Honor Society truly enjoys volunteer work.

this part is not necessary, so commas are required before and after it

2) The old house, that my father grew up in, is being completely renovated.

here the commas are unnecessary! that's because we need the information in boldface to identify the house

4) </span><span><span>My sister, who is a waitress at Billy’s Big Burger Shack, is sixteen years old.</span>

this is a correctly punctuated sentence - the information about being a waitress is additional.

5) The bird that built a nest in the oak tree, appears to have an injured wing.

here either the commas should be removed, or another comma added after "bird"

</span>
