Please check if the following sentence has grammatical mistake!!!?

Question

"I read from a newspaper the other day that caffeine is bad for our liver"

Answer 1

The other day I read from a newspaper that caffeine is bad for the liver.

Answer 2

Hi go ya! - that's a cool name.

This is how it works:

Unless caffeine becomes caffeines, then we use the singular 'liver' and not 'livers'. So your sentence is PERFECT!!!!. It is only if you have more than one thing, then it changes to a plural where we have more than one, but this sentence is saying that 'caffeine' (singular) is bad for our liver.

You are spot on with your answer and there is no grammatical mistake that I can see. Your question does need an 'a' before has grammatical mistake and that is the only thing that needs changing. You can also use 'is bad for the liver' rather than 'for our liver' just because it is more grammatically precise, but your sentence is fine the way it is and isn't out of context in any way.

A good book to read is 'Eats,shoots and leaves' by Lynne Truss.- this is a great book and explains how grammar works and I found this a very useful and helpful way for me to be more confident in how I wrote because I am a very self conscious writer and over analyze what I write.

For example it is easier just to remember that:

Skipper's are skipping with ropes.(more than one = plural)
A skipper skips with a rope. (Singular)
Jam is great on cake
jam's are great for putting on cake's.
Caffeine is bad for our liver (perfect)
Caffeine is bad for the liver (perfect)
caffeines abundant in coffee's and coke's are bad for our livers.

Hope I have helped and this is how I remember my grammar so much better. You are on the right track and can't see any real problem with your grammar at all.

Answer 3

"The other day; I read in a newspaper that caffeine is bad for the liver"

Answer 4

it should read...""I read in a newspaper the other day that caffeine is bad for the liver"

Answer 5

Yep, it does. The sentence should read "I read IN a newspaper the other day that caffine is bad for our liverS" (or THE liver).

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

It sounds OK, but you could argue that it should be "our livers".

It also would be better with "I read in a newspaper..."

Answer 7

Though Nelson has given you a good answer, he does not go far enough! Both "title" and "headtext" (or "headline") should be in quotation marks as I have shown. The words are obviously not the same and I think you must specify "the meaning" of the words. Plus the word "both" is superfluous in this context. One correct way of asking the question is: Do the words "title" and "headline" have the same meaning?

Answer 8

~...bad for the liver. Your question isn't right though.
"Please check if the following sentence has (a) grammatical mistake."~

Answer 9

Grammatically it sounds fine, but ensure the word "Read" up there is pronounced like when say "Red"


Past tense of "Read" sounds like when you pronounce it as "Red"

The problem is it is written the same...in present & past tense...

Answer 10

Fine.
