Common writing mistakes

On the following slides, pay attention to

(more) common mistakes that Dutch students (you also included)

make and answer the questions

Numbers... how do you write them in English?

Look at this sentence:

I live with my parents, 2 sisters, 1 brother,

2 stepsisters and 13 pets.

Lots of numbers...

How should this sentence be written correctly?

The sentence should be

written like this:

I have my parents, two sisters, one brother,

two stepsisters and 13 pets.

General rule for writing

numbers in English

Small numbers (1-9) = one, two, three,...

Large numbers (10+) = 10, 11, 12, 13,...

How do you write school subjects?

The important thing to remember is that

languages ALWAYS have a capital letter!

art, French, economy, physics

English, math, drama, music, Spanish

Always use capital letters:

• at the beginning of a sentence (that's easy)

• with names & last names (easy)

• for the days, months, holidays (not seasons)

• for titles of books and movies

• for cities, countries, nationalities, languages

• for specific periods and historical events

Examples where capital letters

(always!) need to be used

• you You are never going to write a sentence like this.

•  paul Paul, Peter, and pip Pip all need to be in capital letters!

• Easter is on Sunday, April 17th in the middle of spring.

• No Time to Die is the new James Bond movie.

• She lives in Paris, France but doesn't speak French.

• Most World War II veterans are now dead.

Take a look at these two sentences....

I always do my homework last-minute.  And I sometimes get into trouble.

AND, BUT, SO...

never at the beginning

of a sentence!

I always do my homework last-minute.  And I sometimes

get into trouble.

I always do my homework last-minute and I sometimes
get into trouble.
