Can You Correct these Sentences... Here's a link my friend sent to me on Facebook. I corrected each and everyone under one second :) Many English native speakers have trouble in spotting these common mistakes, let alone correct them. As usual, if you can't access the link, let me know and I shall post the questions in the correction box. http://www.surveee.org/tricksentence.html
