Common mistakes
— 01
Confusing 'arose' and 'arisen'
A common mistake is using 'arose' (past simple) and 'arisen' (past participle) interchangeably, which leads to incorrect verb forms in sentences. The correct usage is 'arose' for the simple past, as in 'The problem arose unexpectedly,' and 'arisen' for the past participle, used with auxiliary verbs like 'has,' 'have,' or 'had,' as in 'The sun has arisen.'
— 02
Incorrect usage in simple past
Another mistake is employing 'arisen' when the simple past tense 'arose' is needed. For example, saying 'The issue had arisen last week' when referring to a specific point in the past without the context of another past action should be 'The issue arose last week.' This mistake alters the timeline of events, suggesting ongoing or relative relevance to another past action when there is none.
— 03
Omitting auxiliary verbs
A frequent error is forgetting to use an auxiliary verb with 'arisen' in perfect tenses. Instead of correctly saying, 'A solution has arisen,' one might incorrectly say, 'A solution arisen,' omitting the auxiliary 'has.' This mistake results in grammatically incomplete sentences and can confuse the listener or reader about the time frame or aspect of the action being described.
