ESL/EFL Test "My Thoughts", question 9

I hope one day you will come and I hope that I haven't done too many mistakes in my sentences.

(a) will come
(b) done
(c) many

ESL/EFL Test "My Thoughts", answer 9

I hope one day you will come and I hope that I haven't made too many mistakes in my sentences.

Correct entry: made
The error was: (b) done

You have found the error but your entry is incorrect.
I hope one day you will come and I hope that I haven't done too many mistakes in my sentences.
