SAT Grammar question?
"The labor union (is negotiating) a contract with the hospital (that) (will satisfy) the demands of the workers and (be acceptable to) all levels of management." The parentheses are the choices. The answer was No Error but I would consider "be acceptable to" incorrect because it is not using parallelism? Since this negotiation is in the future, shouldn't it be WILL be acceptable to rather than "be acceptable to"?
Grammar sentence errors help?
1) If you were to work at least four hours a day on the project, we would complete it in a shorter time, and with less problems. use FEWER instead of LESS. Fewer refers to fewer in number. LESS refers to less in quantity. 2) The manager tried hard to effect a change in company policy, but the owner who steadfastly refused to compromise, overruled him on every point. EFFECT should be AFFECT. Effect is a noun which means result. AFFECT is a verb which means to make a change. 3) My uncle, who was on vacation, along with my two cousins and I , went fishing down by the river. No comma after I. In fact, you should really reorder that sentence for the sake of clarity. Along with my two cousins, my uncle and I went fishing down by the river. 4) Hopefully, we will be able to complete the building before the rainy season sets in. You can delete sets in. It's unnecessary. 5) You would have to choose her, if you are looking for the best athlete to represent the school. In a sentence, it's always better to make a consequence follow an action. If you are looking for the best athlete to represent the school, you would have to choose her, 6) Her avaricious relatives assembled at the lawyer's office to head the reading of Jemima's will. Replace head with heed, attend or hear. 7) He was not merely expected to contribute funs to the project, but to work as hard as the other patrons. funs should be funds. (ie, money) 8) None of us knows what the outcome of the battle between the coordinator and us will be. Knows should be know. (Don't be distracted by US; us is the object of a pronoun and therefore can not be the subject.)
Errors in programming languages are inevitable. No matter how good we are in programming languages, we tend to make mistakes. So the types of errors in java are:1. Syntax Error2. Run time/Logical Error1. Syntax Errors:Syntax errors are also called as compiler errors. They prevent our programs from running our code. Compilers errors are due to inaccuracies in code, where the compiler throws an error to alert you to something which will not compile, and therefore cannot be run.Example: Missing of semicolon, Mismatch in opening and closing parenthesis, Misspell a keyword etc.2. Run time/Logical Errors:Run-time errors are errors that occur while your program runs. These typically occur when your program attempts an operation that is impossible to carry out. These are the most difficult - and lead to program crashes and bugs in your code which can be hard to track down.Examples:Divide an integer by zero.Using a null object to reference an objects members.Storing a value that is of incompatible data type.etc...If you want to go in-depth about these errors then you can visit the following websites.http://www.open.ac.uk/StudentWeb/m874/!synterr.htmTop Ten Errors Java Programmers Make
First and foremost, please consider your question for its grammar. Do you want to develop your English without ever making a mistake? The obvious answer to that is that it is not humanly possible. It is even counter-intuitive, since mistakes are actually rich sources of education. Hence, make mistakes, but be open to corrections offered by reliable authorities, which you are, obviously.Then again, provided you use the right resources and consult with the right people, you are never going to actually learn any wrong grammar.But obviously, what you mean is “How do I develop grammatically correct English?” So let me state here that grammatical correctness is a relative term. That’s because if you simply want to learn elementary grammar for practical purposes, that’s one thing. If you want to learn it because you are a student of literature and are pursuing perfection, believe me, you are going to automatically develop it through reading the English classics. If you can tell me more about the purpose involved, I could shed more precise light on the matter.Since that aspect is unknown to me at the moment, I will offer some important, generic pointers:Read for pleasure - and no other reasonDevelop a habit of tinkering with words - write and speak some of your ownLook up basic rules of grammar every now and thenDon’t make any conscious efforts to improve grammar, instead make efforts to read, write, speak and listen all you can. If you get too tangled up in grammar, there’s a danger that you’ll lose interest.That last pointer is to serve as a reminder that if you simply enjoy English via each of the four aforementioned basic skills, you will automatically develop flawless English grammar. In other words, flawless English is achieved through maximum enjoyment of the language through liberal use of those four skills.I have never said that achieving perfect English is easy. But then, what is achievement without hardship?If there’s anything else I can help you with, do let me know.I wish you all the very best in your quest for perfection in English!

It's interesting how this question keeps recurring on Quora, even though many Quorans have addressed it in the past. I'm one of them; I've studied 20 grammar checkers in detail and looked at nearly 30 more*; I have myself coauthored one, and here are some comments I've madeAlas, the free ones are nice but not good. Ginger is perky, but middle of the road in catching grammar mistakes (I include contextual misspellings, because spelling checkers do not catch them; there are uncountable numbers of them). Ginger does not catch style mistakes like wordy phrases, redundancy, clichés, platitudes, jargon, informality, overworked and trite expressions, affected language, pompous phrases, empty intensifiers, awkward usage, slang, nonstandard and nonidiomatic diction, rash overstatements, tautologies, vague terms, outmoded diction, and potentially offensive language.Autocrit catches about as many grammar mistakes as Ginger does--about 12-14%--and about as many more stylistic mistakes, as well. So depending on what you want, Autocrit can be up to twice as helpful as Ginger.Language Tool is free, catches up to 25% of the grammar mistakes in our limited tests but only a few style problems,Editminion is free, but its website is full of really bad writing, so I wouldn't bother with it.Worth considering: Word and WordPerfect both catch around twice as many grammar mistakes as Ginger and Autocrit; Word finds about as many style problems as Autocrit (WordPerfect does not check style).The expensive checkers don't do much better than the free ones. Several, (plus Word and WordPerfect) catch 25%-30% of grammar mistakes; only two (none of the above) catch more than 20% of the style blunders.*If anyone is interested, I've posted the results of my own investigations at Grammar Checker Comparison Tests.
