Well not really 'fun' as such....or even anything close to it, but what the hell - I'll post it anyway.

The following are gramatically incorrect phrases shown to me by a friend studying english. See if anyone can find all the problems in each, and correct the statement.

1) Have I got news for you!
2) That is blatantly obvious to you and I.
3) You and me have quite a unique opportunity here.
4) It would be not uncommon to agressively seek help on these questions.

Have fun, and feel free to add your own.

1) There is news I have for you!
2) This is so blatantly obvious to you and I.
3) You and I have a unique opportunity here.
4) Would it be so uncommon to agressively seek help on these questions that I have above this one..

1) Have I got news for you!

1. "I have news for you!" or "Have I got news for you?"

2. It is blatantly obvious to you and I.

3. We have a quite unique opportunity here.

4. It would not be uncommon to seek help aggressively on these questions.



Well, those are my guesstimates...
