*Spot the error*
*1) "The most" used instead of "most of the".*
*Wrong:* The most of girls are not present.
*Correct:* Most of the girls are not present.
The phrase "the most of" is incorrect. Say: most of the.
*2) Mentioning oneself first.*
*Wrong:* Only I and my mother are present.
*Correct:* Only my mother and I are present.
English idiom requires that when a person is speaking of himself/herself and others, he/she must mention the other person or persons first and leave himself/herself last.
*3) To and At*
*(a) To*
*Wrong:* We come at school every morning.
*Correct:* We come to school every morning.
*(b) At*
*Wrong:* Someone is standing to the door.
*Correct:* Someone is standing at the door.
Use "to" to express motion from one place to another, use "at" to denote position.
*Enjoy learning*
