Apart from the clarity and context an equally important thing in proper choice of words grouped into simple sentences that express what you want to tell with no scope of ambiguity and contradiction. Your content and clarity of ideas should be supported by the correctness of the expression. Let’s see some of the problems that we face generally regarding this.
Inclination to use high sounding words:
You may wonder that people with high vocabulary face this kind of problem. They grow some strong and irrational liking for high sounding words and are under the impression that the use of such words impresses the evaluator. But the result is just the opposite. So try to use less high sounding words as possible.
Confusing or wrong references:
In terms of grammar this mistake is the result of improper use of pronouns. It is one of the best practices to read a book on common mistakes in English and go through the rules and sentence corrections as many as possible before you write an essay.
Wrong use of verbs:
Wrong use of verbs in a sentence is one of the most common mistakes that people make that catches the attention of the people who corrects. Chiefly there are two kinds of mistakes that people make. They are agreement between the subject and the verb of a sentence and mistakes that are related to the proper use of the sequence of tense.
Wrong order of the words:
If you write sentences like, “the hunter with a long tail killed a tiger”, your essay is sure to tickle the person who evaluates. But then, tickling the evaluator obviously is not the objective of your essay. “The hunter killed a tiger with a long tail” is different from “the hunter with a long tail killed a tiger”. The first sentence means that the hunter killed a tiger with a long tail but the second sentence means that the hunter killed a tiger by using the long tail as killing device or weapon. At the earliest point of time, see if you are in the habit of writing these kinds of sentences. Most of the time, one commits these kinds of mistakes because of the negligence or lack of attention. That’s why they almost always go unnoticed. The best way to avoid these type of mistakes is to edit the essay once you are through with it.
