What Went Wrong - #3

Hi again, welcome to the third post of WWW (What Went Wrong).

Did you happen to see what went wrong with the last conversation? I believe you did. Below are the corrections on those conversations in the last post.
Let see if we could spot the same error and let see if you can correct them.


[:-$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$  What Went Wrong #2 - Correction  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$-:]


Hi guys, I am Mitty. I've just started (1) to post posting my article in WWW. I am based in Bangkok, in other word, I live in Bangkok. Can you tell me (2) where is (what) your location (is)?

I started learning English when I (3) am was 11 years old (grade 5). It was a bit late comparing to the children these days. Back then, I was in the countryside far away from Bangkok. Yes, you may say I (4) am was a country man, a man who was in the countryside.

Could you please help me to correct my (5) written writing? Thank you very much.

Here are the explanation on those correction:
  1. I've started to post my article in WWW?  X
    Correction: I've started posting my article in WWW.
    Explanation:  When we use start followed by verb to talk about the past,  verb form need to be in gerund form (V1+ing).
    Reference: ENG1001 Summary.
  2. Can you tell me where is your location  X
    Correction: Can you tell me your location? or Can you tell me what your location is?
    Explanation:  We use the word location with what not where. From the exercise, "where is" seems to be extra words which could be left out. When we use indirect question the word order have to be in a normal positive sentence. For example, "What is your school location?" when turning to indirect question would be "Could you tell me what your school location is?".
  3. I started learning English when I am 11 years old.  X
    Correction: I started learning English when I was 11 years old. 
    Explanation: When we talk about something in the past, it needed to be in Past Tense structure. An observation - the sentence begins with "started" the other verb needs to agree with this.
  4. Yes, you may say I am a country man.  X
    Correction: Yes, you may say I was a country man.
    Explanation: The same explanation as in #3.
  5. Could you please help me to correct my written?X
    Correction: Could you please help me to correct my writing?.
    Explanation: My is progressive pronoun needs to follow by noun (writing) or phrase only. "written" is adj and also past participle (V3).  We can also put the sentence like this to correct the sentence "Could you please help me to correct my written article.".
Please share with us what your answer is.

And now it's time for the 3rd WWW (What Went Wrong).
What do you think went wrong with these sentences?
Let see if you can find them out.  Answer will be given later in the next WWW.
