I go to shopping. This restaurant can smoke. I am boring.
This bilingual (Japanese-English) taxonomy of fifty of the most common and persistent mistakes made by Japanese learners of EnglishÊis offered to both teachers and students as a useful time-saving tool, as well as a more targeted treatment than most general grammar books provide.
Each mistake features a clear and simple explanation, and examples of incorrect and correct usage. The explanation is followed by a ÒpracticeÓ section, which requires students to correct the sentences based on the explanations provided, and a ÒproductionÓ section, which requires students to generate their own original sentences according to the rule.
Teachers could prescribe certain pages based on the errors identified in student writing or speaking samples, or students could simply work through this book from beginning to end.
