    Frequently made mistakes in writing an informal email

                Find a mistake

 1. I would like to tell you that i took up a new hobby.

Mistake 1

Mistake: Incorrect capitalization of “i” instead of “I”. 

Solution: Don ´t forget to capitalize “I” regardless of the position in the sentence.

For instance: I would like to tell you that I took up a new hobby.

                Find a mistake

 1. Toms car has been crashed last week. 

Mistake 2 - Spelling mistakes 

 1. "Tom's car" instead of "Toms car" (without the apostrophe when it’s simply plural).

                Find a mistake

 1. I am taller then him.

Mistake 2 - Spelling mistakes 

2. "Than" instead of "then." 

Than = used for comparisons (e.g., "I am taller than him.")

Then = referring to time (e.g., "We will go to the store then.")

                Find a mistake

 1. The cat chased it´s tail.

2. Its raining outside.

Mistake 2 - Spelling mistakes 

3. "Its" instead of "it's," or vice versa.

Its = possessive - bezitvorm (e.g., "The cat chased its tail.")

It's = contraction of "it is" (e.g., "It's raining outside.")

Mistake 2 - Spelling mistakes 

4. "Their" instead of "there," or "they're" instead of "there."

Correction:

There = a place or location (e.g., "We are going there tomorrow.")

Their = possessive - bezitvorm (e.g., "This is their house.")

They’re = contraction of "they are" (e.g., "They’re going to the party.")

Mistake 2 - Spelling mistakes 

5. Mixing up "your" and "you're"

Mistake: "Your" instead of "you're," or vice versa.

Correction:

Your = possessive - bezittelijk voornaamwoord (e.g., "Is this your pen?")

You're = contraction of "you are" (e.g., "You're my best friend.")

Mistake 3 - Wrong punctuation

Mistake: Missing punctuation or using excessive punctuation (e.g., “How are you???” or “I’m fine!!!”).

Solution: Use punctuation appropriately—one question mark or exclamation mark is enough otherwise it can come off as overly dramatic. 

Peer review - email (last lesson)

You exchange your notebooks in which you have written your email.

You give written feedback on your neighbour´s email (structure: greeting, main body, ending, spelling mistakes, capital letters, punctuation).
