"The follow example"

[juelka]

Hello, I've been doing some exercises and the instruction to one is: "The follow examples illustrate the main differences between informal and formal English." Is "the follow" a mistake? Here, it seems like "follow" is an adjective but I couldn't find anything like that in the dictionary. Usually, it is "the following examples". When I typed the phrase "the follow examples" into search engine I got many such examples, so I wonder if it is just a very common mistake or a real expression.
