Grammar help please?

Hi,

Could you please comment on my grammar, if I have made any mistakes?


I am mistaken about your age. (Adjective)

If I am not mistaken, that is my book. (Adjective)

I was mistaken for my twin brother. (This can be considered as an adjective or an participle)

There is not mistaken / no a (single) mistake. ("There" can only go with "nouns")

There has no a (single) mistake. ("There" can only go with "nouns")


I mistook about your age. (Verb)

I [ have mistaken / must be mistaken ] about your age. (Less use in participles, adjectives are far more often?)

If I am not mistaking, that is my book. (Verb less use, adjectives more often I guess?)

If I have not mistaken, that is my book. (Less use in participles, adjectives are far more often?)



I [ believe mistakenly / I mistakenly believe ] that earth is flat. (Verb can be in the front or rear? as long as there is a verb?)


Cheers

John Aki
