It. One tiny word, one giant source of confusion. 🦩

All the sentences below (written by students) contain the same mistake: "it" is used in different meanings and/or to refer to different nouns inside one sentence. Don't do that. And offer your rewrites in the comments.

1️⃣ "The development of such infrastructure is, however, of paramount importance as without it it might be challenging for individuals to have an active lifestyle."

2️⃣ "ChatGPT might make some jobs obsolete. Even more worrisome is the effect it can have on students' understanding of the topics, making it shallow and insufficient."

3️⃣ "Some believe that it is the government’s responsibility to address this crisis as it has the power to influence people’s behavior by introducing new laws and regulations." *

* The last sentence also contains an "implied antecedent" mistake. Find out more here: https://t.me/irinalutsenko/317
