<![CDATA[students common mistakes]]>Hi,


My dd tends to make sentence structure errors in her English writing. Somehow she likes to string long sentences into one and her teacher said that its really a common mistake make by students.

Do any of you encounter such problems with your kids too? I mean is there really a set of ‘common mistakes’ that students will make?

Usually, there will be numerous structure errors and grammatical errors if your child does so. Unless your child is an expert in English, then that would be an exceptional.

Some even do that in writing books in their adult hood ! If you have read some academic texts. One way to help would be to get them to read it again and see if they understand it them selves.
