Log
Student Guide on How to Use the Patterns of Error System
You might have many grammar errors on a writing assignment,
but the errors represent only a couple of grammar problems. To
know your patterns of grammar error will help you improve
your writing.
The Patterns of Grammar Error system uses the ten (10) most
commonly occurring grammar errors that impact a reader’s
ability to read a text. Ten Grammar Learning Modules have
been created to help you understand these problems and learn to
fix them.

17. Here are the ten errors. They also appear on the Pattern of Error
Log attached to the course guide:

6
Agreement of Pronoun with Antecedent

7

Proper Sentence Sense
After you submit your paper to your instructor, it will be turned
back to you with comments and numbers. The numbers
correspond to the 10 common grammar problems mentioned
above. There will be a number above the underlined part of your
sentence that has an error.
For example, your paper might look like this:

19. My Writing Experiences
2 1
I not been in school for twenty years and I do not like writing.
My teachers always
9 1 9
marked up up my papers and I never new how to make them
sound good. I know I won’t
make them sound good now because I don’t know how to do it. I
will have to work hard
1
to improve my writing I will have to write several drafts to do
well in this class.
As you can see, there are 6 errors here, but there are only 3
grammar problems (#1, #9, #2).

20. When your paper is returned, you will count up the number of
errors for each grammar problem and chart them on your Pattern
of Error Log found in the Course Guide.
Your next task is to review the Grammar Learning Modules for
your most common Patterns of Error, and correct the mistakes
in your paper.
Learning your patterns of grammar error and fixing them will
help you improve your writing.
