Answered by Examlex AI CopilotThe text you are referring to is not provided, so I cannot list the specific 21 common writing errors it mentions. However, I can list five common writing errors that are often highlighted in various writing guides:
1. **Comma Splices**: A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined with just a comma without an appropriate conjunction or punctuation like a semicolon. For example, "She writes every day, she doesn't take a break" should be "She writes every day; she doesn't take a break" or "She writes every day, and she doesn't take a break."
2. **Run-on Sentences**: Similar to comma splices, run-on sentences occur when two or more independent clauses are joined without proper punctuation or conjunctions. They can make the text confusing and difficult to follow.
3. **Fragmented Sentences**: Sentence fragments are incomplete sentences that lack a subject, a verb, or a complete thought. They can leave the reader hanging, waiting for the rest of the information.
4. **Subject-Verb Agreement Errors**: This error occurs when the subject and verb in a sentence do not agree in number. For example, "The list of items are on the desk" should be "The list of items is on the desk."
5. **Misplaced Modifiers**: A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies or describes. For example, "She almost drove her kids to school every day" implies that she almost decided to drive them but didn't, whereas the intended meaning is probably "She drove her kids to school almost every day."
These are just a few examples of common writing errors. The specific text you're referring to may have a different list, so it's best to refer directly to that source for the most accurate information.
