200 English Grammar Mistakes!: A workbook of Common Grammar and Punctuation Errors with Examples, Exercises and Solutions So You Never Make Them Again

To  have  clear  communication
:  Clear  communication  is
fundamental  for  any  individual.  The  biggest  problem  that  arises
from poor grammar is unclear communication. People tend to have
incoherence in speeches simply because of grammatical blunder. If
you  make  a  mistake  of  including  a  singular  verb  where
inappropriate, you may communicate a wrong message.
For  example,  if  you  are  just  deplaned  and  you  say;  “Our  flight  time 
is
approximately forty-two minutes,” “ The person you’re talking to may think
you  haven"t  boarded  the  plane  at  all.  However,  the  correct  thing  to  say  is:
“Our flight time 
was
 approximately forty-two minutes.” (past tense)
