 INTRODUCTION
To the development of this activity, I guided myself with the unit one and two of the
module one; based on grammar about real conditions, simple past vs past continuous,
past perfect, advice and suggestion modal verbs and other things. Allowing to apply
different grammar structures and vocabulary to discuss in different activities like how to
buy a car, types of cars and causes of accidents.
All the following sentences have grammar mistakes. Try to find the mistakes. Rewrite the
sentences correctly and explain why the sentences are grammatically incorrect. There
