Common English mistakes
These errors are common at every level. Follow the lesson links to read the rules.
| Wrong | Right | Why |
|---|---|---|
| I am agree with you. | I agree with you. | "Agree" is a verb. It does not need "am". |
| She don't like coffee. | She doesn't like coffee. | Use "does" and "doesn't" with he, she and it. |
| I have 25 years. | I am 25 years old. | English uses "be" for age, not "have". |
| Can you give me an advice? | Can you give me some advice? | "Advice" is uncountable. See countable and uncountable nouns. |
| I live here since 2019. | I have lived here since 2019. | Use the present perfect with "since". See present perfect or past simple. |
