LESSON 99.

MISCELLANEOUS ERRORS.

CORRECT THE FOLLOWING ERRORS.

I have got that book at home.

+Model+.--Wrong, because _have_, alone, asserts possession. _Got_, used in
the sense of _obtained_, is correct; as, _I have just got the book_.

Have you got time to help me?
There is many mistakes in my composition.

+Model+.--Wrong, because _is_ should agree with its plural subject
_mistakes_. The adverb _there_ is often used to introduce a sentence, that
the subject may follow the predicate. This often makes the sentence sound
smooth, and gives variety.

There goes my mother and sister.
Here comes the soldiers.
