ERROR IDENTIFICATION

The phrase should be 'make up the lost time' not 'make out'. 'Make up' means to compensate, recover, or restore something that was lost (like time). 'Make out' means to discern/identify something unclear (like 'make out the figure in the fog') or to engage in kissing. The error is in part [a] of the sentence.

The sentence is passive voice: 'Your paycheck for last week was given to the head of your department to pass on to you.' The helping verb 'was' is missing before 'given'. The error is in part [b] where 'for last week given' should be 'for last week was given'.

The sentence should be in passive voice: 'Initially, your loan application was sent to the loan officer, who must check your credit standing before making any preliminary decision.' The helping verb 'was' is missing before 'sent'. The error is in part [b].

The subject 'Every' is singular and requires a singular verb. 'Every departments' should be 'Every department'. This is a subject-verb agreement error. Note that 'every' is always singular and takes a singular noun and verb.

This is a conditional (Type 2) sentence expressing a hypothetical situation. The correct structure is 'If the zoning were changed, we would be able to purchase the building down the street and redesign it.' 'Were changed' (subjunctive) is required instead of 'changed', and 'would be able' instead of 'will be able'.

After 'before', we use the -ing form of the verb, not the infinitive with 'to'. The correct phrase is 'Before going elsewhere for new staff, we always try to hire in-house.' The error 'Before to go' should be 'Before going'.

The present perfect tense uses the past participle form of the verb. 'Has flew' is incorrect - 'flew' is the simple past form. The correct form is 'has flown'. The Prime Minister has flown back to his country after successfully negotiating the long-awaited trade agreement with China.

When a compound adjective (75 years) comes before a noun, it must be hyphenated. '75 years old building' should be '75-year-old building'. This is a punctuation error requiring hyphens in the compound adjective.

The pronoun 'them' is ambiguous and grammatically problematic. 'Suitcase' is singular, so 'them' cannot refer to 'suitcase'. Logically, 'them' refers to 'the important things', but the structure is awkward. The sentence should be 'I drove for almost an hour before realizing that I had forgotten my suitcase with the important things in it.'

The sentence should be 'Analysts reported the economy is moving in a steady, upward direction.' The construction 'reported the economy it is moving' is incorrect - 'it' is redundant and creates a grammatical error. After 'reported', we use a that-clause with the subject 'economy'.

The phrase 'many its employees' is grammatically incorrect. It should be 'many of its employees' or 'many of the employees'. We need the preposition 'of' between 'many' and 'its' to show the part-whole relationship correctly.

The time clause requires the simple past tense, not the present participle. 'When we entering' should be 'When we entered'. After 'when', we need a finite verb (past tense) to show a completed action in the past.

When a compound adjective expressing age comes before a noun, it must be hyphenated. '87-years-old' should be '87-year-old'. Note that compound adjectives with numbers are always hyphenated, and 'year' remains singular even though the number is plural.

After marriage, a person typically takes a married name, not a marriage name. The phrase 'marriage name' is incorrect usage - the correct term is 'married name' which refers to the surname adopted after getting married.

When stating general facts about laws or principles that remain currently true, we use the simple present tense 'states' rather than the past tense 'stated'. Copyright law currently and clearly states this requirement.

The phrase 'only handful' is missing the indefinite article 'a'. The correct expression is 'only a handful' to indicate a small number of people. The article 'a' is required before the noun 'handful'.

The word 'sights' refers to things seen or worth seeing, not instances of seeing something. The correct term is 'sightings' which refers to occasions when something is seen or observed. 'Few sightings of eagles' is the correct usage.

The correct preposition with 'situation' is 'in', not 'on'. We say someone is 'in a difficult situation', not 'on a situation'. Being 'on' a situation is idiomatic, while being 'in' a situation is the standard prepositional phrase.

The word 'Initial' is an adjective, but this sentence requires an adverb to modify the verb 'were'. The correct form is 'Initially' which means at the beginning or originally. Adverbs, not adjectives, modify verbs.

The sentence is missing the noun that 'basic' should modify. The word 'basic' is an adjective and needs a noun to complete the thought. The correct word is 'basics' (plural noun), referring to fundamental principles or elements needed to start a business.

The phrase 'from over the world' is idiomatic but incomplete. The standard expression is 'from all over the world' or 'from around the world' or 'from across the world'. Without 'all', 'around', or 'across', the phrase sounds unnatural and incomplete.

The past perfect 'had sold' is incorrect in this context. The sentence describes a sequence: she bought the computer, then sold it six months later. Simple past 'sold' is appropriate because the selling happened after the buying, not before another past event. The past perfect tense is used for events completed before another past action.

The word 'furniture' is an uncountable noun and cannot be made plural. It does not take an 's' in any context. The correct usage is simply 'furniture', not 'furnitures'. This is a common error with mass nouns that represent categories of items.

The word 'it's' is a contraction of 'it is', but this sentence requires the possessive pronoun 'its' (no apostrophe). The correct phrase is 'its wildlife' - meaning the wildlife belonging to Alaska. Possessive pronouns like its, yours, theirs, hers never take apostrophes.

The correct preposition after 'knowledgeable' is 'about' or 'in', not 'on'. We say someone is 'knowledgeable about' or 'knowledgeable in' a subject, not 'knowledgeable on'. This is a fixed collocation in English - the preposition 'on' does not pair with 'knowledgeable'.
