Common Errors II

2015/02/11

Some more common errors for you to study over the new year vacation.

Task 1: Study the error box.

Frequent Error Box 1: thank

Wrong	Right
Thank you for your inviting me. Thank you for your coming. Thank you for your replying.	Thank you for inviting me. Thank you for coming. Thank you for replying / Thank you for your reply.

Notes:

Never write: “Thank you for your + Ving”

It’s Chinglish!

Another common error is ‘make’ and ‘let’. ‘Make’ means force someone to do something they don’t want to do; ‘let’ means allow someone to do something they want to do.

Frequent Error Box 2: make & let

Please let me to see your work. It makes me to feel tired. My boss lets me to go home early. My supervisor makes me to do overtime.	Please let me see your work. It makes me feel tired. I am allowed to go home early. I am made to do overtime.

Notes:

*Request can be a noun and a verb. Take care.

*The verb chunks are: ‘request n.p.’ or ‘request that v.p.’

*The noun chunks are ‘a request for’
