Locations from where Errors come
1. POSITION OF ADJECTIVE ( Before or After-Noun/Pronoun)
Note-1: If Adjective comes before Noun/Pronoun- it is Attributive Use/ But if it comes after Noun/Pronoun- it is Predicative Use of Adjective.
Note-2:Maximum Adjectives take position both before or after Noun/Pronoun. But Maximum Error Detection Questions come out of Adjectives which are used only as Predicative Position. Those Adjectives are like- Afraid, Alone, Asleep, Awake, Alive, Afloat, Alert, Aware, Ashamed, Fond, Eager, Sour, alike etc.
POSSIBLE QUESTIONS FOR COMPETITIVE EXAMS-
1. That is an alive man. ✖ ( attributive use )
