I �d say that there are 4 errors. He works shifts. His day started badly. He did not remember. He was late for work. (or is �too lately � two errors? The �too � is unnecessary and �lately � should be �late �.) |

There we are! The difficulty with this kind of exercise! Frau Sue spotted that �He was too lately for work � should be �He was late for work � - but does that constitute one mistake, or two? |

There also shouldn �t be a comma before "Harry" (or there should be a comma after it, but no comma is a better choice). Bruce |

I would also put a comma before "so", but I am not sure if it is necessary or not. |
