* Correct: The dogs bark loudly.

* Correct: I went to the store yesterday.
* Word Order: English generally follows a Subject-Verb-Object order.
* Incorrect: The cat ate the food quickly.
* Correct: The cat quickly ate the food.
* Punctuation: Use commas, periods, question marks, and exclamation points correctly.
Common Errors to Avoid
* Run-on Sentences: Avoid combining two or more independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunctions.

* Correct: The sun was shining, and the birds were singing.
* Sentence Fragments: Make sure each sentence has a subject and a verb.
* Incorrect: Because I was tired.
* Correct: I was tired because I had stayed up late.
* Misplaced Modifiers: Make sure your modifying phrases are placed close to the words they describe.

* Pronoun Agreement: Pronouns must agree with their antecedents (the nouns they refer to) in gender and number.
