Expert writing Tips
Best practice
When trying to express affirmation and timing, ensure your sentence includes a verb such as "was", "happened", or "occurred" to make it grammatically correct. For example, use "Yes, it happened during..." instead of the ungrammatical "It yes during".
Common error
Avoid omitting verbs like "to be" (is, was, were) when constructing sentences that specify time or duration. Omitting these verbs often results in unclear and grammatically incorrect statements. Make sure that the phrase contains a verb.
