Your Error Elimination Plan

Target fossilized errors with these strategies:

• Record yourself for five minutes and have a teacher or advanced speaker identify patterns
• Focus on one error per week — trying to fix everything at once fixes nothing
• Create correction sentences you say aloud daily until the correct form replaces the old habit
• Learn collocations as units: "make a decision," not "make" + "decision" separately
• Use a grammar checker on your writing to catch errors you no longer notice.
