14. CORRECT THE MISTAKES
 Could you tell me how can I get in touch with Mr.
Dickinson?
 She’s very sick and has been at the hospital for two
weeks.
 Yesterday, I must sent a very important email to a client.
 My parents always told me that it’s important being
positive.
 I’ve worked like a waiter in the past, but I wouldn’t want
to do it again
 To sleep at work is acceptable in some cultures

15. CORRECT THE MISTAKES-
Explanations I
 Could you tell me how I can get in touch with Mr.
Dickinson? After expressions like Do you know…, Could
you tell me,.. And I was wondering if… we do not invert the
subject and the verb. These are called indirect questions.
 She’s very sick and has been in the hospital for
two weeks. To communicate that someone is a patient
at the hospital, we say in the hospital. If someone is not a
patient, we use at the hospital.
 Yesterday, I had to send a very important email
to a client. We don’t use must to communicate a past
obligation or necessity. Instead, we use had or needed

16. CORRECT THE MISTAKES-
Explanations II
 My parents always told me that it’s important to
be positive. The correct form is It’s + adjective +
infinitive. We can add for + object before the infinitive.
 I’ve worked as a waiter in the past, but I wouldn’t
want to do it again. We say someone works as +
occupation to communicate what someone’s job is.
 Sleeping at work is acceptable in some cultures.
When the name of an activity is the subject or object, we
normally use the gerund.
