Note my corrections above. Make sure you capitalise book titles correctly - if necessary, copy the title from the front of the book or from an online listing.

It is said in The book says that this that sentence is wrong.

See above for a more natural way to write this. There was no need for the passive at the opening.

So What is the mistake in this sentence and how can I correct it?

What do you know about the use of the simple present tense and when it should be used?

It would be better if you could tell me why.

No, it wouldn't be better if we just gave you the answer. That doesn't help you to work things out for yourself. Have a really good think about the question I've asked you above (about the use of the simple present tense).
