Find My Mistakes

In my post before this one, "A Birthday, A Bird and....", I found at least 2 mistakes I made. Can you?

2 comments:

  1. Yes, I found. One mistake was the letter "E" of "English" should be capital. The other one was the sentence " I better hurry if I don't want..." might be " I'd better hurry if I..."

    Am I right? I'm not sure.

  2. Hi Hong!
    Yes, English should have a capital e, and "I'd better hurry" is correct, but actually so is "I better hurry". Either way is fine, but the meaning is very very slightly different. I'd better is closer to "I should." I better is closer to "I need to right now." Thank you for pointing those out. Actually, the mistakes I was talking about were in the larger post that included the story of Winnie Lo "losing the road." I left a comment after it listing most of the mistakes I found. I will have to pay more attention when I write these. My mother told me I better start using spell check.
