English is a global language, and speaking it fluently can open doors to countless opportunities. However, many learners make common mistakes that can hinder effective communication. At EEPL Classroom, Ranchi , we help students improve their English-speaking skills by identifying and correcting these errors. Let’s look at some frequent mistakes and how to avoid them.
1. Incorrect Use of Articles (A, An, The)
Mistake: “I saw an elephant and a ant in the zoo.” Correction: “I saw an elephant and an ant in the zoo.”
Rule: Use ‘a’ before words that begin with a consonant sound and ‘an’ before words that begin with a vowel sound. Use ‘the’ for specific nouns.
2. Confusion Between Similar Words
Mistake: “I gave him an advice.” Correction: “I gave him advice.”
Rule: Advice is an uncountable noun, so it doesn’t take ‘an’. Instead, say “a piece of advice.”
Other Confusions:
- Your vs. You.’re – “Your book is on the table.” (Possessive) / “You’re my best friend.” (You are)
- Their vs. There vs. They’re – “Their house is big.” / “The book is over there.” / “They’re going to the park.”
3. Subject-Verb Agreement Errors
Mistake: “She go to school every day.” Correction: “She goes to school every day.”
Rule: The verb should match the subject. For singular subjects, add ‘s’ or ‘es’ to the verb in the present tense.
4. Misuse of Prepositions
Mistake: “I am waiting since two hours.” Correction: “I have been waiting for two hours.”
Rule: Use ‘for’ with a duration (e.g., “for two hours”) and ‘since’ with a specific point in time (e.g., “since 10 AM”).
5. Wrong Word Order in Questions
Mistake: “Where you are going?” Correction: “Where are you going?”
Rule: In questions, the auxiliary verb comes before the subject.
6. Overuse of ‘Very’
Mistake: “She is very beautiful.” Correction: “She is gorgeous.”
**Rul.
Instead of using ‘very’, try stronger adjectives like extremely, incredibly, or absolutely.
7. Double Negatives
Mistake: “I don’t need no help.” Correction: “I don’t need any help.”
Rule: Avoid using two negative words together, as they cancel each other out.
8. Using ‘Me’ Instead of ‘I’ (or Vice Versa)
Mistake: “Me and my friend went to the mall.” Correction: “My friend and I went to the mall.”
Rule: Use ‘I’ as the subject of the sentence and ‘me’ as the object.
9. Incorrect Tenses
Mistake: “I will meet him yesterday.” Correction: “I met him yesterday.”
Rule: Keep verb tenses consistent and logical.
10. Using ‘Much’ Instead of ‘Many’
Mistake: “There are much people in the park.” Correction: “There are many people in the park.”
Rule: Use ‘much’ for uncountable nouns and ‘many’ for countable nouns.
