I have been seeing this grammatical error more often lately. It's simple to overlook and an easy mistake, but it can hurt your reputation when others notice.
From Wikihow:
Just take a second to think before you write it and use the correct word.
From Wikihow:
- Use there when referring to a place, whether concrete
("over there by the building") or more abstract ("it must be difficult
to live there").
- There is an antique store on Camden Avenue.
- The science textbooks are over there on the floor.
- Use their to indicate possession. It is a possessive adjective and indicates that a particular noun belongs to them.
- My friends have lost their tickets.
- Their things were strewn about the office haphazardly.
Just take a second to think before you write it and use the correct word.
You have a wrong definition for "there" in this sentence: "There is an antique store on Camden Avenue."
When using a state of being verb such as forms of the verb "to be," the sentence can be inverted placing "there" at the beginning of the sentence and the subject after the verb. "There" is used to inverte sentences.
Example of inverted form: (subject after the verb)
There are three cats playing.
Example of not inverting the sentence:(subject first)
Three cats are playing.
That goes to show that everyone makes grammatical errors, myself and Wikihow included. Thanks for letting me know!
