Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Favor the grammatically correct and widely accepted phrase "can be implemented" over "can be implementable" to ensure clarity and credibility in your writing. This substitution enhances the professional tone of your communication.
Common error
Avoid using "implementable" directly after modal verbs like "can be". "Implementable" is an adjective, while you typically need a past participle verb form (like "implemented") after "can be" to describe an action that can be done.
