Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the correct past participle form, "associated", instead of the base verb "associate" when indicating a lack of connection. For example, say "This is not associated with that", not "This is not associate with that".
Common error
Avoid using the base form of the verb after "is not". The correct form is the past participle (usually ending in -ed or -en). Ensure you use "is not associated" instead of "is not associate".
