    Answer

    Incorrect: We cleaned all the kitchen while our parents were out to dinner.
    Correct: We cleaned the whole/entire kitchen while our parents were out to dinner.

We use all for plural nouns (all the students) and for uncountable nouns (all the furniture), but not for singular nouns. When you want to talk about 100% of one thing, use the whole or the entire.

Incorrect: If I’m stressed out about something, I tend to have problem to fall asleep.
Correct: If I’m stressed out about something, I tend to have trouble / a hard time falling asleep.

This is just a more natural way to express this sentence. We don’t usually use the TO form of a verb after “problem.” If you want to talk about the difficult action, use “trouble” or “a hard time” and then the -ING form of the verb.

Incorrect: One of the most important issue is the lack of parking spaces at the local mall.
Correct: One of the most important issues is the lack of parking spaces at the local mall.

Whenever you use the expression “One of…”, the noun must be plural but the verb must be singular. For example, “One of my friends is sick.” “One of these eggs was rotten.”

Incorrect: If you don’t mind, I’d prefer leave early tomorrow.
Correct: If you don’t mind, I’d prefer to leave / leaving early tomorrow.
Correct: If you don’t mind, I’d rather leave early tomorrow.

After prefer, use TO + VERB or the -ING form. After rather, you can use the base form.

Incorrect: Do you have a few minutes to discuss about this project?
Correct: Do you have a few minutes to discuss this project?
Correct: Do you have a few minutes to talk about this project?

Discuss is the same as talk about. Therefore, it is not necessary to use “about” after “discuss.”

Incorrect: The survey we performed recently showed that most of customers are satisfied.
Correct: The survey we performed recently showed that most of the customers are satisfied.
Correct: The survey we performed recently showed that most of our customers are satisfied.
Correct: The survey we performed recently showed that most customers are satisfied.

After most of, you need to have an article like “the” or a possessive like “my/his/our/their/etc.” However, if you use only most, then you don’t need anything and you can go straight to the noun: most people, most houses, etc.

Incorrect: Although I’ve known him for a while, I still can’t believe how much stubborn he is.
Correct: Although I’ve known him for a while, I still can’t believe how stubborn he is.

Before adjectives like “stubborn,” use only how – for example, how friendly, how cold, how expensive. We use how much / how many with nouns – how much money, how many friends, how much snow.

Incorrect: This is a very simple procedure; it will take less of ten minutes.
Correct: This is a very simple procedure; it will take less than ten minutes.

When comparing two things, we use the word than. For example, the city is bigger than the town. A bike is less expensive than a car.

Incorrect: I’ve loved classical music ever since I was child.
Correct: I’ve loved classical music ever since I was a child.
Correct: I’ve loved classical music ever since I was young.

When using an adjective like “young,” you don’t need an article: I was hungry, I’m tired, etc. When using a noun, you need an article: I was a manager, I’m a sports fan, etc.

Incorrect: Would you like to take part of this activity?
Correct: Would you like to take part in this activity?

If you “take part of” something it means you literally remove a piece of it. For example, “He took part of the bread and dipped it in the soup.” “Take part in” means to participate. For example, “I took part in the chess tournament.”

20 Common Grammar Mistakes That (Almost) Everyone Makes

1. Who and Whom
   who 是一个主观代词，接he she it we ：当代词是一个条件主语时候使用
   whom 是一个客观代词, 接him her it us： 当代词是一个句子的主语的时候使用

用谁取决于你是否指代的是一个句子的主语或者宾语，如果比不确定就用he，she 来代替
——————> who loves you? -------> he loves me.
也可以用whom代替人称的宾格
——————> I consulted an attorney(law) whom I met in China------->I consulted him.

1. Which and That
   That 是一个限制代词，这个对它所指代的名词是至关重要的。
   I don’t trust fruits and vegetables that aren’t organic. 在这里指代的是所有的非有机的蔬菜
   Which 主要指的是相关的类，它是允许的但不是限定的。
   I recommend you eat only organic fruits and vegetables, which are available in area grocery stores. 这里并不是说让你去哪个明确的商店买蔬菜。
   所以，which 是指代，但是That 是限制，前者比较模糊，因此它更灵活，可以在限制性条件下使用
   e.g., The house, which is burning, is mine. e.g., The house that is burning is mine.

2. Lay and Lie
   Lay 是一个及物动词，它直接跟物体，一般形式是:Lay 过去式是laid

I lay the pencil on the table
Yesterday I laid the pencil on the table

Lie 是一个不及物动词，它不直接跟物体，一般形式是：lie, 过去式是：lay

e.g., The Andes mountains lie between Chile and Argentina e.g.,
The man lay waiting for an ambulance

1. Moot
   和常见的误用相反，它的意思并不是多余的，它是说一个主题是有争议的待讨论的。

The idea that commercial zoning should be allowed in the residential neighborhood was a moot point for the council.

1. Continual and Continuous
   他俩相似但不同，前者意味着一些事是时常发生，有明显的间隔，后者意味着连续但没有任何停顿。

   e.g., The continual music next door made it the worst night of studying ever.
   e.g., Her continuous talking prevented him from concentrating.

2. Envy and Jealousy
   Envy 意思是渴望别人好运，是一个报一次，Jealousy 更倾向于邪恶，它是对竞争的恐惧，经常出现在性话题下。

   “Envy” is when you covet your friend’s good looks.
   “Jealousy” is what happens when your significant other swoons over your good-looking friend.

3. Nor
   Nor “也不” 表达的是一个消极的条件，如果你的句子表示否定，并且它说的“也不” 是跟随前面的否定
   Neigher ... nor, either .... or

   Neither the men nor the women were drunk 没问题，正确
   e.g., He won’t eat broccoli or asparagus.
   The negative condition expressing the first noun (broccoli) is also used for the second (asparagus).

4. May and Might
   May 意思是可能，might意思是不确定，

You may get drunk if you have two shots in ten minutes. 这里的意思是你真的可能醉的一个可能
You might get a ticket if you operate a tug boat while drunk，如果您在醉酒时驾驶拖船，您可能会得到一张票， 这里就意思是你几乎不能得到船票。

I may have more wine。 鉴于发言者对此事的犹豫不决，“might”是正确的。

1. Whether and If
   他俩可不是一般大家想的通用的，前者表达的是：表示存在两个或更多替代方案的情况；后者：表示没有其他选择的情况

e.g., I don’t know whether I’ll get drunk tonight.
e.g., I can get drunk tonight if I have money for booze.

1. Fewer and Less
   Less 是保留的假设数量。 “Few”和“Fewer”是你可以量化的东西。

e.g., The firm has fewer than ten employees.
e.g., The firm is less successful now that we have only ten employees.

1. Farther and Further
   Farther 这个词意味着一个可测量的距离, further应该保留为抽象的长度，你不能总是测量

e.g., I threw the ball ten feet farther than Bill.
e.g., The financial crisis caused further implications. 金融危机造成进一步的影响

1. Since and Because
   “Since”是指时间。 “Because”是指因果关系。

e.g., Since I quit drinking I’ve married and had two children.
e.g., Because I quit drinking I no longer wake up in my own vomit（呕吐）.

1. Disinterested and Uninterested, 无私和不在乎
   这俩词不是同义词，一个“Disinterested”的人是一个公正的人，他不想从他目睹的交易中获得经济利益，he is uninterested

   judges and referees are supposed to be "disinterested." 法官和裁判应该是“无私的”

2. Anxious (急)
   除非你害怕他们，否则你不应该说：anxious to see your friends
   “anxious”意味着恐惧，恐惧或焦虑，这并不意味着你期待着什么

3. Different Than and Different From

   e.g., My living situation in New York was different from home.
   e.g., Development is different in New York than in Los Angeles. When in doubt, use “different from.”

4. Bring and Take 区分好方向就好了.
   Your spouse may tell you to “take your clothes to the cleaners.”
   The owner of the dry cleaners would say “bring your clothes to the cleaners."

5. Impactful
   它不是一个单词, Impact 可以用作名词, 或者及物动词

e.g., The impact of the crash was severe.
e.g., The crash impacted my ability to walk or hold a job

1. Affect and Effect
   “Affect” 总是一个动词 (e.g., Facebook affects people’s attention spans)
   “effect” 总是一个名词 (e.g., Facebook's effects can also be positive).

“Affect”是指影响或产生一种印象 - 从而造成影响。
“Effect”是影响因素产生的东西, 它描述了结果或结果

例外情况, “Effect”可以用作一个及物动词，意思是实现或发生, Affect 可以用作名词

e.g., My new computer effected a much-needed transition from magazines to Web porn
e.g., His lack of affect made him seem like a shallow person.

1. Irony and Coincidence (反语-讽刺,巧合)
   "Irony”是预期结果与实际结果之间一系列事件的不一致
   “巧合”是一系列事件，当他们真的是偶然的时候，这些事件就是计划中的事情

2. Nauseous
   它意味着你有能力恶心到别人

e.g., That week-old hot dog is nauseous
e.g., I was nauseated after falling into that dumpster behind the Planned Parenthood.

As a popular sport, golfing benefits our health greatly. When striking the ball initially, we must pay attention to the angle between the velocity direction and the ground, theta. For both theta~0 and ~90 degrees, the distance flown by the ball tends to be short. Clearly, there exists a maximal distance for which the ball will travel.
