Why do people make grammar errors? In a general sense, errors are of two types: errors of competence and errors of performance. Errors of competence are the easy ones to explain; they’re mistakes made because one doesn’t know the correct form. I’m well familiar with these mistakes from speaking in my Spanish classes last year despite not knowing what prepositions go with what verbs and so on. Errors of performance are a bit more interesting. Performance errors are those where one does know the correct form but still makes a mistake. https://motivatedgrammar.wordpress/2011/05/
