"I found out my books. (were what?)
The above mistake results simply from confusing "find" and "find out" or "found out".
The first word "find" means that you have recovered something that was lost and
"find out" means to discover something that was unknown previously.
Example:
(1) I found my pencil under the desk.
(2) I found out that she was dating someone else.
(3) I found my brother in the park.
(4) I found out that he could sing very well.
To repeat, to "find" means to acquire something after searching for it physically or mentally. For another example, "I found the answer."
Another common mistake that is related to the above is the confustion between "look at" and "see" and the verb "to look for"
"Look at" means to direct one's attention in a certain direction
"Look for" means to search for something.
"See" is the visual reception of an image on the retina.
Example:
(1) Look at him.
(2) Look at this paper.
(3) Let's look for my keys, I've lost them.
(4) I can see the boat in the distance.
(5) Can you see what that sign says?
(incorrect) See this paper. |
