Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the correct verb conjugation. "We are" should be followed by a present participle (e.g., "We are learning") or an adjective (e.g., "We are ready"), or "We" should be followed by the verb "know".
Common error
Avoid using the base form of a verb ("know") after "we are". Remember that "are" requires either a participle (knowing) or an adjective related to knowledge (aware) or simply use the correct verb "know".
