Title: Some strange mistakes which I noted down
Post by: TopAce on February 02, 2004, 03:50:56 pm

I was putting things in order in my room when I came across my English exercise book which I used in the 1st grade of high school. All you need to know is that the school I was at in the 1st grade was a private school, and the men who were going there were not especially talented for languages. I noted down some of the weirdest mistakes. I enclosed my variant as well in case you cannot understand. :D Some of them(which have higher level grammar such as conditional or question tag) were mistakes by some of my classmates at primary school.

I made a stupid sentence myself as well:

If I would can speak English I cannoted write a bad sentence like this.
If I could speak English, I couldn't write a bad sentence like this one.

:) Just for fun. Enjoy!
