Most of the errors were regarding the structure of an interrogative sentence.
It basically asks a question and ends with a question mark.
The structure is :-
Helping verb (Can,Will,etc.) + Subject + Main verb + Object
The structure of a normal sentence is :-
Subject + verb + Object
The only difference between the two :-
In interrogative sentence, the helping verb is used at the starting whereas in a normal sentence or an affirmative sentence the helping verb will be used after the subject.
There was a mistake related to articles.
There are 3 articles :-
A :- It is used with a consonant sound and a non-specified thing.
The :- It is used with a thing which is specified.
An :- Used with a non-specified vowel sound.
There was a mistake related to prepositions.
The usage of "at" was done instead of "in".
At :- It is used to describe the geographical location.
In :- It is used to describe something inside a structure or a place.
