As it regards common grammatical errors and errors of punctuation that appear in my writing, these include misuse of commas, improper use of designating prepositions and pronouns, and awkward syntax.

The fact that the English language develops and changes significantly during the history proves that this language is alive and active. There are a variety of reasons for the language changes: social, political and economic factors. However, nowadays we frequently witness the changes in language because of the innovations in technology, industry and products. The connection between the ...
