Is English your first language?

Yes

It's just 1 word, not the whole sentence? Now I know it's not my bad English but bad reading skills lol

Every answer can be 1 word, or most also accept the larger phrase containing the corrected word. None of the answers are the complete sentence. Good luck :)

Actually, those mistakes are not as common as others. The most common mistakes are those of spelling, followed by grammar. Syntax mistakes are not as common as the other two types.

Examples:

SPELLING - This sentence has a mispelled word. (should be "misspelled")
GRAMMAR - Me and Mike went to the store. (should be "Mike and I")
SYNTAX - There was someone there, his mom, and she was upset. (should be "...there---his mom---and...")
