Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Mistake"

A: You need to make mistakes to improve. If you do everything perfect the first time, you will not learn anything, and you will not do better the next time.

Does that make sense? 😊

A: One in this sentence basically means "a person" so "a person could condone his mistake"! Does that make sense? 😊

A: That sentence is not natural.

Say "I made a lot of mistakes" instead.

A: Momentum is a physics principle. If someone is using momentum, they themselves are using less force (energy) to move an object. They are allowing momentum to carry out the force (or action). If a strength trainer is lifting weights above his head, and he gets tired, he may start to swing his arms (using momentum) instead of lifting them because it is easier.

A: It means , don't worry about what I just said because it came out wrong or is something they made a mistake about

A: Admit you made the mistake and be responsible for the consequences of the mistake.

A: "on THE top of" describes a literal location, so a hat goes "on the top of" your head. You can also say "on top of" for this.

"on top of (that)" without "the" is used to say "in addition to" or "furthermore", so in the example, "on top of that" is used incorrectly because it's not an addition to the previous statement. It should say something like "however" or "having said that", because the second sentence is giving an example of when you should try to NOT make a mistake.

Additionally, "on top of" can also be used to say that you're in control or very aware of something, so "I'm on top of my work" means that you have control over your work and you're not behind.

A: "Give me a chance to redeem myself. "
"Let me redeem myself."
"You can redeem yourself by..."
"I'll let you redeem yourself if you..."

Say I forgot to do the dishes like my mother asked.
Me: What can I do so I don't get grounded?
Mother: You can redeem yourself by doing the dishes, and vacuuming.

A: She made the wrong mistake.
How could he mistake her for Lisa?
I was mistaken, I'm sorry.
That girl was mistaken.
I was mistaken!

A: I mistook (past tense of to mistake) my waiter as an old friend

A: Fico feliz em ter ajudado, posso dar alguns exemplos também :
I make mistakes
Eu cometo erros
There was an error
Teve um erro (problema)

A: Both have the same meaning but mistake sounds slightly less serious than error. You will most likely see error used more in important writings than mistake but in everyday language mistake is more used.

A: 本当に同じです。「commit」は四つ意味です。

一：「do」✔️
二：「give」
三：「promise」
四：「confine」

I bet I have committed a large number of mistakes. 🤔

A: "error" is more formal. "I made a mistake." "It was an error."

A: @Kety: Mistake significa error o equivocación, (ej: It wasn't my mistake= No fue mi error, This is a mistake= Esto es una equivocación) mientras que problem es problema. Ej: It's not my problem = No es mi problema, No problem= no hay problema.

A: This was good. I made some minor fixes for you: "You may already know that we moved from Korea 3 years ago so I'm still learning English. We mainly speak Korean at home."

A: Correct: "The letter came, thank you very much Erica. I'm very glad to receive a letter from you this year! The postcard is very nice; the wishes in it were very warm and pleasant! Also, in the envelope there were a lot of sequins- all shining."

I fixed your grammar and combined your run-on sentences. Other than that, perfect!

Hope this helps!

A: I wouldn't say what you wrote... I'd say "did you ever hear from her again afterwards?

that's probably not the answer though.

A: Yes, if I were to make a mistake while speaking I would say "I mean-" but someone might also say "sorry" and then correct themselves.
For example:
"I was in school until 4'clock, sorry/I mean, 5."

'I mean' is more commonly used though.

A: Please don't even let my slightest/smallest mistake past

A: Gluten tag!


The most challenging part of the project was to find sellers for our flea market and to advertise our project to people.

We opened a Facebook page, where we explained our project goals and invited our friends. We also printed some flyers and distributed them across our neighborhood and at other schools. We asked our friends to tell as many people about our project as possible.

In the end, we didn't expect that a lot of people wanted to participate in our project. We also had difficulty managing logistics like finding places for the sellers, finding music, and finding people who can present on the subject of homelessness.

Finally, we were able to solve all our problems and our flea market was a huge success. We donated money for organizations like we wanted.

If other students want to follow our example for raising money, I would suggest you not be afraid. People are always supportive of good causes.

A: Once, my class decided to raise money for a good cause. First of all we needed to discuss, what cause we should raise money **for**. The majority agreed to raise money for helping [better: to help] the homeless, because on winter days they need more clothes, food and accommodations [better: shelter] to survive in the cold winter weather. Our School **D**irector allowed us to organize a flea market, where we could earn money by selling second hand stuff and just encourage people to donate for our project. With the money we **got** / **managed to get** [or: raise], we wanted to give to some homeless hotels [better: homeless shelters], **so** that they **could** build more accommodations [better: housing] for the homeless or do accommodations more safely [better: provide them with safer housing]. Some part of the amount we wanted to give to organizations **that** provide food and clothes for the homeless. The idea of our project was fixed, the date [unclear: what date?] was settled.

A: I'm not the best at grammar but here goes

Plastic pollution affects sea life.
Marine mammals are dying after ingesting plastic or getting entangled in it.
Marine animals cannot get enough oxygen and are dying due to oxygen shortage.
Plastic over time turns into microplastic, which can enter our food, and cause a lot of diseases, such as cancer.
Plastic pollution destroys our environment.

This still feels really stiff, since you aren't putting it in paragraphs. So if you want to write an essay, it would certainly be advisable to change these sentences to flow into one another. I hope I helped, you're already very good at English.

A: I don’t agree with the opinion that schools should raise money for good causes. That is the responsibility of the government. Instead, it would be better for students to do volunteer work in various areas of their community. For example, feeding the homeless, helping seniors, or cleaning the beaches. That way, children can learn more about the societal issues in their areas and develop ideas to help solve these problems.

Hope that helps.

A: I think a better word here would be "dystopian" instead of "decadent". Decadent/decadence is now more often used to describe self-indulgence.

"Atmosphere" is ok to use here, but it describes a feeling. If you use "environment", this describes the physical setting.

"Represented by X and Y" sounds like X and Y are the only cyberpunk animes that exist. As there are other examples of cyberpunk anime, it would be more correct to refer to X and Y as examples.

"I like dystopian environments in cyberpunk anime, represented in examples such as Akira and Evangelion"
