Everybody Does That

Everybody does grammar mistakes nowadays due to the language of the social media, the films or even the books. There are many of them. For grammar we always think that the one that fits right is the one that is right. It shouldn't be like that all the time. 

One of the most common mistakes that writers do is to use the verbs that are in the same sentence in different tenses. For example in a phrase like "She went to the mall to buy some clothes, meeting with friends and eating in a restaurant." the tenses are wrong. At first it says to buy some clothes which is true but then it says meeting with friends which is wrong. The right one is to use the verb with to and not make it present continuous, because it is one sentence and all of the verbs need to be in the right tense. Another example can be like this "We thought about contacting her in several ways. We could contact her by writing a letter, by texting or call her." In this phrase, by writing a letter and by texting are the right versions but, call her needs to be by calling her so that it can fit into the structure of the other verbs in the phrase. For example "He always hated doing home works, cleaning his room and to take out the trash." In this example the right tenses are cleaning his room and doing his home works. The wrong one is take out the trash. The verbs should be in the same tense as the other ones. 

I sometimes do this mistake when I'm writing so fast. I can fix this problem by paying attention to the phrase and if necessary by reading the phrase over and over again. This mistake is a common mistake so I can also see this kind of mistake in the books, too. I can try to fix those sentences when I find them and rewrite them so that I can understand if the one I wrote is wrong or right. 

I can pay attention to every sentence I write in my writings so that I can avoid making this mistake. Sometimes it is good for me to make someone else read my writings because, like that it is easier to see my mistakes. I can make someone else read it and that person can find the mistakes for me. 

I'm sure at the end of the year I won't have this problem. I will work hard to pay attention to that mistake.
