ENGLISH MISTAKES WE DO MAKE MOST TIMES - Steemit

in #steemit7 years ago

According to vocabulary dictionary, "A mistake is an error, a goof, a slip-up. When you make a mistake, you've done something incorrectly. Mistake has a lot of uses, but they all have to do with doing the wrong thing. A mistake in math class will result in the wrong answer, but a mistake with a gun could get someone killed."
