Common Mistakes

• ✗ They sell products of high quality.

  ✓ They sell high-quality products.

  While 'of high quality' is grammatically correct, it sounds overly formal and stiff. Native speakers prefer using 'high-quality' as a compound adjective before the noun, or talking about 'product quality' directly.

• ✗ We must improve the quality of our products quality.

  ✓ We must improve our product quality.

  This is redundant. Use either 'the quality of our products' or the compound noun 'product quality,' but do not mix them together.
