error_type: Determiner Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Determiner Error: According to English grammar rules, when a singular countable noun like 〈football fan〉 appears for the first time in a sentence and refers to a general category, the indefinite article 『a』 must be added to form a determiner structure. Therefore, it is corrected to 『a football fan』, which satisfies the semantic integrity of 'a football fan' and conforms to the basic grammatical structure requirement of 'indefinite article + singular countable noun'. This modification also ensures the grammatical correctness and semantic accuracy of the noun phrase in the sentence.
error_sentence: I can watch football game on TV.
correct_sentence: I watch football games on TV.
error: can
error_type: Word Redundancy Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Word Redundancy Error: According to semantic analysis, the original sentence uses 〈can〉 to express the ability 'to be able to watch', whereas the context actually intends to express the habitual action of 'watching frequently'. Therefore, the modal verb 〈can〉 is deleted, allowing 'watch football games' to accurately convey the habitual behavior of 'regularly watching football games'.
error_sentence: I can watch football game on TV.
correct_sentence: I watch football games on TV.
error: game
correction: games
error_type: Noun Number Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Noun Number Error: According to the rules for expressing general concepts in English grammar, the countable noun 〈game〉 must be in the plural form when referring to a general concept like 'football matches'. Therefore, the singular noun 〈football game〉 is corrected to the plural form 『football games』, which fulfills the expression of plural meaning and conforms to the basic grammatical norm that 'countable nouns used generically require the plural form'.
error_sentence: I have two friends Mike and Dave.
correct_sentence: I have two friends, Mike and Dave.
correction: ,
error_type: Punctuation Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Punctuation Error: According to English rules for listing structures, when an appositive (like friends' names) appears at the end of a sentence, a comma must be added between the main clause and the appositive element for separation. Therefore, 〈I have two friends Mike and Dave〉 is corrected to 『I have two friends, Mike and Dave』 by adding a comma 『,』, making the structure conform to the standard punctuation format of 'main clause, appositive', while ensuring clarity of meaning and grammatical correctness.
error_sentence: Mike likes play basketball, but he don't like play ping-pong.
correct_sentence: Mike likes to play basketball, but he doesn't like to play ping-pong, because it's boring.
correction: to
error_type: Nonfinite Verb Form Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Nonfinite Verb Form Error: According to English verb usage norms, the verb 〈likes〉, when expressing preference, needs to be followed by an infinitive or gerund structure. The original sentence lacks the necessary infinitive marker, so 『to』 is added to form the standard collocation 『likes to play』, fulfilling the semantic expression of 'likes to play football' and fully conforming to the fixed verb pattern 'like to do'.
error_sentence: Mike likes play basketball, but he don't like play ping-pong.
correct_sentence: Mike likes to play basketball, but he doesn't like to play ping-pong, because it's boring.
error: do
correction: does
error_type: Subject-Verb Agreement Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Subject-Verb Agreement Error: According to the rules for negative structures in the English third-person singular present tense, when the subject is the singular pronoun 〈he〉, the auxiliary verb must be in the singular negative form of 'does'. Therefore, the plural form 〈don't〉 is corrected to the singular form 『doesn't』, making the structure 'he doesn't' fulfill the semantic expression and fully conform to the grammatical norm of 'third-person singular subject + does not'.
error_sentence: Mike likes play basketball, but he don't like play ping-pong.
correct_sentence: Mike likes to play basketball, but he doesn't like to play ping-pong, because it's boring.
correction: to
error_type: Nonfinite Verb Form Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Nonfinite Verb Form Error: According to the principle of fixed English collocations, the verb 〈like〉, when indicating preference, must be followed by an infinitive, so 『to』 is added to form the standard structure 『like to play』, ensuring conformity with the 'like to do' grammatical pattern.
error_sentence: Mike likes play basketball, but he don't like play ping-pong. Because it's boring.
correct_sentence: Mike likes to play basketball, but he doesn't like to play ping-pong, because it's boring.
error: . Because
correction: , because
error_type: Punctuation Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Punctuation Error: According to English rules for clause connection, an adverbial clause of reason starting with 'because...' must be attached to a main clause. Changing the period separation 〈. Because〉 to a comma connection 『, because』 forms a complete complex sentence structure, maintaining semantic coherence.
error_sentence: Dave don't like play baseball .
correct_sentence: Dave doesn't like to play baseball, because it's difficult.
error: do
correction: does
error_type: Subject-Verb Agreement Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Subject-Verb Agreement Error: When the subject is the singular noun 〈Dave〉, the auxiliary verb must take the third-person singular form 'does'. Therefore, the plural form 'do' is corrected to 'does', ensuring the structure 'Dave does' fully conforms to the grammatical norm of 'third-person singular subject + does'. Also, because it is a negative form, 〈don't〉 is changed to 『doesn't』 to maintain the principle of subject-verb agreement in negative sentences.
error_sentence: Dave don't like play baseball .
correct_sentence: Dave doesn't like to play baseball, because it's difficult.
correction: to
error_type: Nonfinite Verb Form Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: ① Nonfinite Verb Form Error: According to the principle of fixed English collocations, the verb 〈like〉, when indicating preference, must be followed by an infinitive, so 『to』 is added to form the standard structure 『like to play』, ensuring conformity with the 'like to do' grammatical pattern; ② Space Error: According to English writing conventions, no space is needed when a word is immediately followed by a punctuation mark, so 〈baseball .〉 should be changed to 『baseball,』.
error_sentence: Dave don't like play baseball . Because it's difficult.
correct_sentence: Dave doesn't like to play baseball, because it's difficult.
error: . Because
correction: , because
