You would write down the correct spelling of each word:

Spotting Error: In a spotting error exercise, you’ll be given a sentence or a passage with errors, and you need to identify and correct those errors. Here’s an example sentence with errors:
“The dog wagged it’s tail happily.”
To spot the errors, you would need to analyze the sentence carefully and identify any mistakes. In this sentence, there are two errors:
- “it’s” should be “its” because “it’s” is a contraction for “it is” or “it has,” whereas “its” is the possessive form.
- The tense of the verb “wagged” is incorrect. It should be “wagged” because it’s in the past tense.
So, the corrected sentence would be:
“The dog wagged its tail happily.”
In spotting error exercises, it’s important to carefully read the sentences and pay attention to grammar, punctuation, spelling, and other language rules.
