It is common that when we start learning English and started forming English sentences we are very likely to make some common mistakes which sometimes even an expert in English may also do. In this article I am going to tell about the common mistakes that we do when we are framing sentences.
When we forgotten the structure of a sentence then the sentences that we framed may end up incompletely.

We should check for the complete meaning of the sentence after forming the sentence. When we think that it’s incomplete then we have to add some sentence so that the sentence becomes meaningful.
Let us see how missing one part could change the meaning of a sentence with one example:
Fragment: If you want to get good job.
Correct: You should work hard if you want to get a good job.
Check the above sentence which has all the required parts of a sentence that are:
• Subject of the action or doer of the action: This will be a noun or pronoun.
• Verb which indicates what the subject does.
• Complete meaning as a whole sentence.
So when we are forming the sentences then check for the subject part, verb part and the total meaning of the sentence.
The second most common mistake that we all do when forming sentences is when we are using the conjunctives. Generally we will forget using these conjunctives and try to combine the sentences without these important gap filling parts of English.
Conjunctives are used for connecting the sentences and give the meaning to the situation by connecting correctly the two or more sentences. The mistakes that occur due to the mistakes in conjunctives are called run-on sentences. These run-on sentences occur when two or more sentences are connected incorrectly. The other common conjunctives that we use are and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet etc.
