The history of a town square
The text, mistakes revealed
Here is the text as players saw it, with its 6 mistakes highlighted and corrected.
My mother always loved walking across the old cobblestones of our historic town square. We walked there together early on a crisp, frosty, and very cold januaryJanuary morning. The local outdoor market was usually quite busy, but today it seemed far totoo quiet. Two older farmers stood quietly by a wooden cart and sold theretheir fresh winter apples. We finally sat down to rest for a short while on two seperateseparate green wooden benches. She pointed at a lovely old brick bakery building that displayed a shiny new adressaddress. That friendly small town certainly meant alota lot to me during my early childhood years. I felt incredibly happy about our peaceful winter walk together through the empty square.
- → mistake, then its correction
The traps in this round
-
january →January
Months of the year must always start with a capital letter.
-
to →too
Use 'too' with a double 'o' when you mean 'excessively' or 'very'.
-
there →their
Use 'their' to show ownership (the apples belong to them).
-
seperate →separate
Remember there is 'a rat' in the middle of separate: sep-a-rat-e.
-
adress →address
The word 'address' requires two D's and two S's.
-
alot →a lot
'A lot' is always written as two separate words.
