Hello there! This lesson will help you to speak and write correct English. We will look at 50 of the most common mistakes made by learners of English and how to avoid them.

The real subject is the phrase "ten apples," so the verb should be "are." If there was only one apple, you would say "There is an apple in the basket." Number five: "Everyone...
