Inside you will find 60 examples of incorrect English, including the one above, adapted from genuine mistakes published in newspaper and magazine articles, advertisements, websites, and leaflets. Each example has one mistake. Your task is to find it and say what kind of mistake it is – then write the corrected version. In the

process you will improve your written English by learning to identify the common mistakes that professional writers make and that professional editors and proofreaders miss.

ALSO INCLUDES OUR EXCLUSIVE A-Z OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR WORDS!

We hope that this new book will help you as you aim to make your written English:

b) more impressive (making you or your company look more professional)
