Solution

The word "amount" is mistakenly used in this sentence. The correct word should be "number." "Amount" is typically used with uncountable nouns, whereas "number" is used with countable nouns like "games."

So, the corrected sentence should read:

"Dean was amazed by the number of games on my iPhone."

This change clarifies that we are referring to a countable quantity of games, which makes the sentence grammatically correct.
