Error Correction Challenge.
The following sentences have errors in grammar, mechanics, and syntax. See if you can find the mistakes. The numbers at the end of the sentences tell you how many mistakes there are in each sentence, and the sentences are grouped according to the kind of error. If a sentence has more than one error, you will find it in two categories. Good luck!
