Michael,
 
I will get the text you recommend and see if there are perfect tense errors to add to my collection, which is now over 110.
 
Would you like to let your students see if they can beat me to the punch?
 
My long-standing challenge is that I can find at least one 'had' error on any English grammar website or in any English grammar textbook you can name. The chances are good that I will be able to add Coffin, Donohue and North's EXPLORING ENGLISH GRAMMAR to my list, since I have not yet found an error-free source. But I'm still looking. There must be one somewhere.

I think that systemic functional grammar has the potential for guiding teachers to work with authentic texts, and that's why I am a fan of Coffin, Donohue and North's EXPLORING ENGLISH GRAMMAR. They provide a
healthy role model for how to examine grammar in the context of authentic texts.
