Common Error?

Question

I am really good at correcting english common errors. however, this sentence has had me stumped for some time... can you figure out the error? i was thinking about either redundance or case:

"Soon after the recess bell rang, we all ran outside."

Answer 1

Soon after is valid. If you didn't go soon after, you could have went right after. The sentence should read:

"Soon after the recess bell rang, we ran outside."

We means more than one, so all is not necessary.

Answer 2

The statement should read after the recess bell rang, we all ran outside. You don't need the word soon.

Answer 3

Petey, me ol dawg dude! How am I supposed to know? I can't find any error. But that's cuz I speak AMERICAN ENGLISH! Is it out of its context or does it stand alone? It's in a passive sense. So, you could say, "We all ran outside soon after the recess bell rang". Is that it?

Answer 4

I'll give it a go:
After the recess bell rang, we ran outside.

Answer 5

I'll give it a try.

We all ran outside soon after the recess bell rang.

Answer 6

I don't think you need "rang". It's redundant. A recess bell is not a recess bell until it rings.

Answer 7

what your thinking is after the end Recess bell rang, we all went out side. But I think it means the first recess bell... it is a thoughtful sentence though.

Answer 8

Soon and after are the same word.. I forgot the type of error it is. but its similar to a double negative

Answer 9

There is no error, the sentence is correct.

Answer 10

It's a perfectly fine sentence, just the way it is.
