Expert writing Tips
Best practice
When indicating the source of information, use established phrases like "according to" followed by a noun or noun phrase representing the source (e.g., "according to the report", "according to experts").
Common error
Avoid combining "according to" with the past participle "reached" directly, as it does not form a grammatically correct or idiomatic expression. Instead, clarify what specifically was reached, and use a proper noun to express the source, like "according to the agreement reached".
