10 Common English Mistakes (And How to Fix Them!)
Learning English can be tricky! Here are 10 mistakes I see all the time, along with easy ways to fix them.
1. "I am agree" vs "I agree"
Wrong: I am agree with you.
Right: I agree with you."Agree" is already a verb - you don't need "am"!
2. "Informations" vs "Information"
Wrong: I need more informations. Right: I need more information.
"Information" is uncountable - it never gets an "s"!
3. "Since" vs "For"
Wrong: I have lived here since 5 years. Right: I have lived here for 5 years.
- Use for + period of time (for 5 years, for 2 weeks)
- Use since + point in time (since 2020, since Monday)
4. "Make" vs "Do"
Wrong: I need to make my homework. Right: I need to do my homework.
- Do = tasks, work, activities (do homework, do the dishes)
- Make = create something (make breakfast, make a mistake)
5. "Fun" vs "Funny"
Wrong: The party was very funny. Right: The party was very fun.
- Fun = enjoyable
- Funny = makes you laugh
Practice Makes Perfect!
Don't worry about making mistakes - that's how we learn! Keep practicing and you'll improve every day.
