Questions

What are common grammar mistakes made by non-native speakers in academic writing?

Non-native speakers often struggle with overusing long, complex sentences, which may lead to confusion.

How can I improve my sentence structure in English?

Focus on writing clear, simple sentences before attempting complex ones. Ensure that each sentence has a subject, verb, and object and avoid unnecessary words. Reading academic texts in English can help you notice typical patterns. Practice by rewriting your sentences for clarity and getting feedback from a native speaker or language tool.
