Learner identifies and removes the eight highest-frequency errors from their own writing.

Eight sentences. Tick the ones you might have written yourself — honestly.
Each one, why it happens, and the single change that removes it.
Every error here is one you make systematically. If you write I am agree, you do not write it occasionally — you write it every single time you agree with something.
That is what makes them worth more than new vocabulary. Removing one habit removes every instance of it, in every essay, for the rest of your life as an English writer.
It also means the goal is not to memorise eight corrections. It is to find which three or four are yours and fix those.
The eight errors, each crossed out with its fix beneath.
The crossed-out line is what you were about to write. The line beneath is the fix.
Sixteen phrases. Eight are fine. Sort them at speed.
