Questions & Answers about Je corrige les erreurs sur l'écran.

Is corrige irregular like écrire or mettre?
No, corriger (to correct) is mostly a regular -er verb, unlike the irregular verbs in this lesson. The only special rule is that in the nous form, we add an e (nous corrigeons) to keep the soft g sound. The je form here is completely regular.
Is erreur masculine or feminine?
It is feminine (une erreur). It can be tricky to tell when looking at the plural les erreurs, but many abstract nouns ending in -eur are feminine in French. Other common examples are la couleur (color) and la peur (fear).
Why do we use l' in sur l'écran?
We use l' because écran (screen) starts with a vowel. In French, the singular words for the (le and la) drop their vowel and become l' before another vowel or a silent h. This makes pronunciation much smoother!
Is there another word for mistakes that I could use here?
Yes! You can also use les fautes. Both une faute and une erreur mean a mistake. When talking about spelling or grammar mistakes that you might correct on a screen, les fautes is very common and perfectly interchangeable with les erreurs.
