Correcting Errors

• 1. The Beijing is the capital of China.
• - Beijing is the capital of China.
• Reason: Beijing is a city of China. We do not use 'the' before the name of cities generally.

• 2. I first met your Dad at the Walmart.
• - I first met your Dad at Walmart.
• Reason: Walmart is a corporation spread internationally. The place cannot be specified using 'the' Walmart only.

• 3. He has failed in the English.
• - He has failed in English.
• Reason: Here 'English' is a subject and we do not use 'the' before it.

• 4. She died of the malaria.
• - She died of malaria.
• Reason: Malaria is a disease and come with four kinds of parasites. If only the parasites are mentioned in specific, we use 'the' then.

• 5. She is best singer I have heard.
• - She is the best singer I have heard.
• Reason: 'Best' is the superlative degree of 'good' and we use 'the' before superlative degrees.

• 6. Rose is sweetest of all flowers.
• - Rose is the sweetest of all flowers.
• Reason: 'Sweetest' is the superlative degree of 'sweet' and we use 'the' before superlative degrees.

• 7. A man is mortal.
• - Man is mortal.
• Reason: Using 'Man' in a sentence, we mean the cause true for all men. So we omit 'a' before it.

• 8. You are in a trouble.
• - You are in trouble.
• Reason: Trouble cannot be measured quantitatively. So we do not use 'a' before it.

• 9. Don't make noise.
• - Don't make a noise.
• Reason: We use 'a' before 'noise' to specify the speaker's order not to make any kind of noise.

• 10. Your words are not worth penny.
• - Your words are not worth a penny.
• Reason: Penny is the unit of foreign monetary. It can be counted. So we use 'a' before it.
