wouldn't + verb

[yakor]

Hello! Is it ok to omit the object "many mistakes"?
-You have many mistakes at writing. If you studied better you wouldn't have.
Also, could be used two auxiliaries verbs together?
-You made many mistakes in you writing. If you studied better you wouldn't do.

 

[heypresto]

You have many mistakes at writing.
You have many mistakes in your writing.

You made many mistakes in you writing.
You made many mistakes in your writing.

In both sentences, however, we are more likely to use 'numerous' or 'a lot of' instead of 'many.'

-You made many mistakes in your writing. If you studied better you wouldn't do.

The part in bold may be acceptable in the UK but it's not idiomatic in the US.

There are quite a lot of different ways to express this.

my own favourite is ....

Your writing contains many mistakes.
More study may correct the problem.

 

[yakor]

You have many mistakes at writing. If you studied better you wouldn't have.

In this case, one should say If you studied better you wouldn't have them. OR If you studied better you wouldn't do. Or If you studied better you wouldn't, shouldn't one?

 

[analeeh]

'You have many mistakes in your writing. If you studied better, you wouldn't have.' sounds OK to me, but I think this is because in BrE we still accept 'have' instead of 'do' as a 'pro-verb' where the main verb is 'have' to start with. So AmE speakers may not accept it.

More naturally for everyone: 'you have many mistakes in your writing - if you studied better, you wouldn't (have as many)'.

 

[dojibear]

You have many mistakes at writing.

In this case, one should say

The first sentence can describe the result, or the first sentence can describe the action:

result:
1. There are many mistakes in your written text.
2. You have many mistakes in your writing. ("have" is a main verb)

action:
3. You have made many mistakes in your writing. ("have" is a tense marker, the main verb is "make")
4. You made many mistakes while you were writing.

I don't know which meaning this first sentence is meant to express:
5. You have many mistakes at writing.

The "at writing" implies action. The lack of any other verb implies "result", because "have" is a main verb.

 

[yakor]

The "at writing" implies action. The lack of any other verb implies "result", because "have" is a main verb.

Yes, I mean "action".
So, the sentence "You have many mistakes at writing" is wrong?

 

[dojibear]

Yes, it is wrong. The subject is "you". The main verb is "have", which means "own" or "possess".
