The apostrophe on one always gets me.

Having grammatical errors with words in the wrong order or as the wrong part of speech bothers me most :eyes:

Improper comma use, and…
Freaking run-on sentences.
I need to give a class in all three grades about run-on sentences ASAP because my students just don’t know when to end a sentence.

EXAMPLE: Yesterday, it was so hot, i went to the store to buy some ice cream, they didn’t have any ice cream, I was mad, disappointed, hungry, I screamed at the lady working behind the counter because there was no ice cream, when I came home my mom said she bought some chocolate candy, I ate that, I was happy.

Honestly, I feel like if used in a comedic context, those loooooong sentences could be quite funny, he has

But I know what you mean. They tend to be annoying. Even though, I do that too lmao

Everyone in my class has English as their first language, yet I’m the only one who can speak and write it properly :star_struck:

I always do that, because my first language is German and we always write such long sentences in German :eyes::eyes::green_heart::no_mouth:

The most annoying one is still “Should of” instead of “should have” :eyes::eyes:

I think that’s probably why they do it. Their first language is Spanish, and sentences tend to be longer in Spanish and are considered grammatically correct. :sunflower: :sunflower:

So does that mean that longer sentences aren’t considered grammatically correct in English? :eyes::eyes:

Depends on how you make the sentence :eyes:

Depends on the sentence and it’s structure. I am a master of making extremely long sentences, but having them perfectly grammatically correct. So with those they are technically fine, just difficult for some people to read.

If it’s a compound or complex sentence, yes. But you should use coordinating conjunctions to connect two independent clauses, and a relative pronoun to connect an independent clause with a dependent one.
