where is the mistake in this sentence

[selwan]

In case of studying French bothers you , You can study English .

 

[Raymott]

Do you mean apart from the fact that none of the punctuation marks are correctly placed/spaced, and that 'French' should be capitalised?

 

[selwan]

I mean the grammar of the previous sentence ,, Is it correct ?!

 

[bhaisahab]

I mean the grammar of the previous sentence ,, Is it correct ?!

I have marked all your punctuation and spacing errors above in red. Do you know how to punctuate properly in written English?

 

[Matthew Wai]

It is important to follow the rules of written English:

- Start very sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mark.
- Do not put a space before a full stop, comma, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always put a space after a full stop, comma, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I" (first person singular).

Thank you very much :fadein: :fadein:

selwan, your clicking on the 'Thank' button has already obviated the need for a new post saying 'Thank you', such is one of the many unwritten rules on this forum.

Hello, Selwan:

In my opinion, your English is very good for someone who has studied it for only three months. Keep up the good work!

I believe that there is a difference between "in case" and "in case of."

One book says that "in case" = If ("I'll be there in case you need me"); "in case of" = When there is ("In case of fire, break [the] glass").

That information comes from The Columbia Guide to Standard American English (1993) by Kenneth G. Wilson.


*****

Maybe your sentence should read something like:

"In case studying French does not interest you, you can always switch to English."

In case of studying French bothers you

Is it always incorrect to use a clause after a preposition such as 'of'?

In case studying French does not interest you

Is it grammatical to say 'In case of studying French being boring to you'?

[emsr2d2]

No, I am here to learn that .

I have been learning English only for 3 months .

Thank you .

I suggest that you look at that list of rules given in post #7 very carefully. Punctuation and spacing are as important as grammar and spelling. It might be a good idea if you copy that list of rules and check that you follow them in every post.

 

[selwan]

I think I will need your help a lot , I have to thank you again and it's nice to know you.

 

[Tarheel]

Oh, good. They left something for me to do. Possibly:

If studying French bothers you, try English.

or

If French bores you, try English.

or

If you don't like French, try English.
