3 Common Grammar Mistakes

These are my three common grammar mistakes:


(1) Its vs It's

"Its going to be sunny tomorrow."

This is INCORRECT.

It’s is the contraction of It is:

* "It’s going to be sunny tomorrow."

This is CORRECT.


"What’s that? I can’t remember it’s name."

This is INCORRECT.


Its is a possessive pronoun that modifies a noun:

* "What’s that? I can’t remember its name."

This is CORRECT.


(2) Present perfect

"He has took the train."

This is INCORRECT.


The correct form for the present perfect is:

would + have + past participle

* "He has taken the train."

This is CORRECT.


(3) Went vs Gone

"I should have went to school yesterday."

This is INCORRECT.


The correct form is:

should + have + past participle

* "I should have gone to school yesterday."

This is CORRECT.
