CORRECT THE MISTAKES Could you tell me how can I get in touch with

Mr. Dickinson? She’s very sick and has been at the hospital for

two weeks. Yesterday, I must sent a very important email

to a client. My parents always told me that it’s important

being positive. I’ve worked like a waiter in the past, but I

wouldn’t want to do it again To sleep at work is acceptable in some cultures

CORRECT THE MISTAKES- Explanations I

Could you tell me how I can get in touch with Mr. Dickinson? After expressions like Do you know…, Could you tell me,.. And I was wondering if… we do not invert the subject and the verb. These are called indirect questions.

She’s very sick and has been in the hospital for two weeks. To communicate that someone is a patient at the hospital, we say in the hospital. If someone is not a patient, we use at the hospital.

Yesterday, I had to send a very important email to a client. We don’t use must to communicate a past obligation or necessity. Instead, we use had or needed

CORRECT THE MISTAKES- Explanations II

My parents always told me that it’s important to be positive. The correct form is It’s + adjective + infinitive. We can add for + object before the infinitive.

I’ve worked as a waiter in the past, but I wouldn’t want to do it again. We say someone works as + occupation to communicate what someone’s job is.

Sleeping at work is acceptable in some cultures. When the name of an activity is the subject or object, we normally use the gerund.
