This week, we are going to look at a common error with ‘lack’ to avoid in your writing.
These errors are very common in Taiwan.
Task 1: Study the error box.
Notes:
* ‘Lack’ can be a verb and a noun. Take care.
* Actually, ‘lack’ is a very low frequency verb. It’s more natural English to use ‘don’t have’ instead of ‘lack’.
* Use ‘lack s/th’ (v) or ‘have a lack of s/th’ (n)
* Never use ‘lack of’ (v). It’s wrong! Never use in lack of. It’s wrong!
