Bad grammar examples paragraph

There are countless grammar rules in the English language. From rules on misplaced modifiers and subject/verb agreement to rules on double negatives, there are many guidelines here on YourDictionary for you to follow when writing just about anything.

However, one of the best ways to learn correct grammar is to review examples of bad grammar.

Verb tense errors occur when you use the wrong verb tense.

Is bad grammar grammatically correct

They are one of the most common grammar mistakes. The verb tense tells the reader of your sentences when the action is taking place - in the past, the present or the future. You must be consistent on verb tense, unless there's some reason to make a switch to a different tense.

Some examples of verb tense errors include:

• I walk to the store and I bought milk. Walk is a present tense verb.

  Poor grammar examples

  Bought is a past tense verb. "Bought" should be "buy," or "walk" should be "walked," since these two events occur at the same time.

• I will eat fish for dinner and drank milk. "Will eat" is a future tense verb, but "drank" is a past tense verb.

  Since the dinner is going
