Here are three errors that I regularly encounter inside and outside the classroom. Do you make these mistakes?
Listen to yourself, and check your writing. These are some errors that are not deadly or fatal because native
speakers usually understand what you mean. Because of that, they will rarely correct you. Nevertheless, these
mistakes mark you as not quite as advanced or proficient in English as you may think you are.
Common Mistake 1
At lunchtime, I often hear students asking each other if they want to go outside and eat together.
INCORRECT:
A: "Do you like to eat lunch with us today?"
B: "Yeah, sure. Where do you go?"
What's wrong with this dialog? To ask someone to join you for lunch, we would say,
CORRECT:
A: " Would you like to eat lunch with us today?" OR "Do you want to eat lunch with us today?" (more
informal)
B: "Yeah, sure. Where are you going/are you going to go?"
EXPLANATION:
In English, the present simple using 'do you like to...' is not a request form. Also, B's response asking for more
information using the simple present sounds odd because the speakers are talking about 'right now.' Thus, the
appropriate question asking for more information about the plan for lunch would be "Where are you going/are
you going to go?" (present continuous/future plan)
Common Mistake 2
Another common error especially in speaking for the Cambridge or for the iBT (TOEFL) test is
INCORRECT:
"I would prefer to study by my own rather than study with others."
CORRECT:
"I would prefer to study on my own/by myself rather than study with others."
EXPLANATION:
Prepositions are such a pain in the you-know-what, aren't they? I always tell advanced level students that
prepositions are the last thing to master in English. These little words (in, on, at, by, for, to, and so on) quickly
mark people - even those who have lived in the U.S. for decades - as foreign-born (including British English
speakers, e.g., 'on the weekend' vs. 'at the weekend'). ;-)

Common Mistake 3
Students need to be able to express their opinions. Of course, the easiest way to start off your sentence is to say,
"In my opinion, ....." However, there are other ways to begin a discourse about your personal views.
INCORRECT:
"In my point of view, we should raise taxes on gasoline."
CORRECT:
"From my point of view, we should raise taxes on gasoline."
"In my view, we should raise taxes on gasoline."
To try to give a visual image of how to use these last two expressions correctly, I often draw a mountain peak
with a little person standing on top. From that point, the person can see a lot, but (s)he is not in that point.
“Everybody are happy.”
Words like everybody, somebody, anybody, nobody are actually singular, not plural. Even though
“everybody” refers to a lot of people, it takes the singular verb – so the correct sentence is “Everybody is
happy.”
“I’ll explain you the problem.”
In this sentence, there are two objects – the direct object (the problem) and the indirect object (you). After
explain, we need to use to before the indirect object – the person to whom we are doing the explaining. Also,
it’s more common to put the direct object first, so the correct sentence is “I’ll explain the problem to you.”
“I have the possibility to study in Canada next year.”
With “have,” we use opportunity, not possibility – so the correct sentence is “I have the opportunity to study
in Canada next year.” The word possibility is more used with “There is…,” for example, “There’s a
possibility I may study in Canada next year.”
“I think she doesn’t like tomatoes.”
Although there’s no specific grammar rule here, it’s more common to say “I don’t think she likes tomatoes.”
“If I will see John later, I’ll give him the message.”
Although both events are technically in the future, this sentence should be in the first conditional form – “If I
see John later, I’ll give him the message.”
“Do you want that I make breakfast?”
“That” is not normally used after “want.” The correct sentence is: “Do you want me to make breakfast?”
“I’m thinking to buy a new car.”

“To + infinitive” is not used after “think,” so the correct sentence would be: “I’m thinking of buying a new
car” or “I’m thinking about buying a new car.”
“They enjoyed the baseball game despite of the rain.”
“Despite” and “in spite of” mean the same thing, and many English learners confuse them. After “despite,” we
never use “of.” The correct sentence would be “They enjoyed the baseball game despite the rain” or “They
enjoyed the baseball game in spite of the rain.”
“My ten-years-old daughter loves to dance.”
When an age comes after “is,” then you say “years old”: “My daughter is ten years old.” But when an age
comes before the person (or object) as an adjective, then you say year, not years – “My ten-year-old daughter
loves to dance.”
“Our house is near to the beach.”
“Near” and “close to” mean the same thing, but “to” is never used after “near.” The correct sentence is “Our
house is near the beach” or “Our house is close to the beach.”
“I like very much soccer.”
We don’t normally put “very much” between a verb (like) and its object (soccer). The correct sentence would
be, “I like soccer very much.” However, in spoken English, it would probably be more common to say “I like
soccer a lot” or “I really like soccer.”
“Gary gave to Joan the keys.”
Like “explain” in the example above, “give” has two objects – the indirect object (Joan) and the direct object
(the keys). We can say this sentence two ways: “Gary gave Joan the keys” or “Gary gave the keys to Joan.”
“She asked me where do I work.”
This is one of the most difficult parts of English – reported speech. In reported questions, we do not use the
auxiliary verb do/does/did – so the correct sentence is, “She asked me where I work.”
“They left without say goodbye.”
When you use a verb after conjunctions and prepositions like after, before, since, when, while, without, instead
of, and in spite of, it is generally in the -ing form. So the correct sentence is “They left without saying
goodbye.”
“I need to finish this project until Friday.”
Use until to talk about a situation that will continue up to a certain moment, for example: “I’m staying in the
city until June.” Use by to talk about a single action or event that will happen before a future moment. By is
often use with deadlines, so the correct sentence is, “I need to finish this project by Friday.”

1. its vs. it’s
its = a possessive pronoun. Examples would be: The puppy is going to find its toy. The computer and its
power supply are for sale. Do you know whether my car needs its own inspection?
it’s = contraction of it is. Examples would be: It’s much too hot in July. I think it’s going to rain. I doubt
it’s ever going to be the same.
Easy reminder: You can replace it’s with it is every time and re-read your sentence for meaning.
2. there vs. their vs. they’re
there =an adverb, in or at that place. There is only one lemon left. There should be an easier way to do
this. There is nothing quite like it.
their=a possessive pronoun. Their mansion is beautiful. Their olive trees make me dream of Italy.
Their baby cries a lot.
they’re=contraction of they are. They’re simply stunning. They’re going to perform for us. They’re not
here yet.
Easy reminder: You can replace they’re with they are every time and re-read your sentence for
meaning.
3. lose vs. loose
lose = a verb, to come to be without something; to suffer the loss of something. I do not wish to lose
more weight. I was about to lose my ear ring. She cannot stand the thought of losing him.
loose=an adjective, free or released from attachment; not bound together; not strict. My belt is very
loose around my waist. She likes to wear her hair loose and free. That is a loose interpretation of our
document.
Easy reminder= Lose has come to be without its extra “o”!!!
4. whose vs. who’s
whose= possessive form of who. Whose plans are these? Whose money did he take? Do you know
whose boat we saw the other day?
who’s= a contraction for who is. Who’s going to clean all this mess? She was wondering who’s going to
dance with her. Do we need to tell them who’s going to be there?
Easy reminder: You can replace who’s with who is every time and see if it makes sense.
5. your vs. you’re
your=possessive pronoun. Your job is very exciting. I wish I were in your shoes. Did you tell me your
secret yet?
you’re=contraction for you are. You’re going to amaze them with your performance.I want you to
know how much you’re delivering for us. Perhaps you’re about to get started?

Easy reminder: You can replace you’re with you are every time and see if it makes sense.
6. write and right.
write=verb, to express in writing. I want to learn how to write well. Did you write this? Write a letter
to Mom
right=adjective, correct, justified, suitable, opposite of left. The little boy knew right versus wrong.
It’s the right way to do things. I meant to write this for you right away.
7. me vs. I
The best explanation for this rule is here; nonetheless here is a simple explanation:
I=subject. Me=object. Which one to use when?
Let’s learn by example:
1. This would be wrong: They are going to send my wife and I a package.
Why? The rule is that the sentence should make sense if you remove the person and preceding the I. So
in our case:
They are going to send I a package. This is obviously wrong. It should be: They are going to send me a
package.
2.This would be wrong: Jim and me are going to the beach.
Why? Remove Jim and. In this case, also adjust the verb to match single form of first person. Then re-read
the sentence:
Me am going to the beach. This is also obviously wrong. It should be: Jim and I are going to the beach.
3. This would be wrong: The best one is sent to Ashly and I.
Easy way to remember this is that I does not follow a verb. I should always make sense if it is followed by
a verb.
Correct form would be The best one is sent to Ashly and me.
I am rather pleased to learn that my favorite phrase, “it is she“, upon answering the phone has formal
correctness on its side but is rather antiquated
8. effect and affect
effect=noun, produced by a cause; a result. The effect of your leadership is visible here. The rules are
in effect as of today. What if the change has no effect?
affect=verb, to act on; to produce a chance. She affected all of us with her speech.The cold weather
affected my plants last night.I let the movie affect me deeply.
9. accept vs. except
accept=verb, to take or receive. I accept the challenge. They accepted the generous gift. Why not
accept our flaws and still love ourselves?
except=preposition, excluding, save, but. Everyone except me decided to go. Do anything you can to
please her except calling her. Except for her attitude, I think she is ideal.
10. gone vs. went

Both are past participles of the verb to go.
Correct: I went to the store. I should have gone to the open market instead.
Incorrect: I should’ve went somewhere!
11. the apostrophe disaster for plural form
The most common error is to put apostrophe where apostrophe has no business. When you form a
plural for nouns, there is no need whatsoever to add an apostrophe.
These are all wrong forms of plural nouns = Cat’s, Dog’s, Lot’s (not even a word), ABC’s,
Plural forms in most cases are made by simply adding an ‘s’ to the singular form = Cats, Dogs, lots, ABCs.
Even though the use of apostrophe before an S in pluralizing an acronym is quite universal, it is still
incorrect.
12. ending sentences with preposition
It has also become common to use prepositions inappropriately or to end phrases and questions with
prepositions.
Examples of some prepositions: at, of, with, in.
Wrong: Where are we at with our plans? Where is the movie theater at?
Correct: Where are we with our plans? Where is the movie theater?
When asking about the location of a place, “at” should not be used after “where.”
Note: Don’t confuse phrasal verbs which make up a huge category in English language and are best
described here. For instance, a preposition always is used in the phrase “to hang out” (where did you
want to hang out?) and the verb wouldn’t make sense without this preposition.
13. the dangling participle
The dangling participle can seriously change the flow and meaning of your writing. It is important to
make sure we qualify the intended words.
Examples:
Misinterpreted: Cooking on the stove, she decided it was time to turn the vegetables.
It sounds as though she was being cooked on the stove herself.
Better: She decided it was time to turn the vegetables which were cooking on the stove.
Misinterpreted: Sunburned and dehydrated, mom decided it was time for the children to go into the house.
It sounds as though the Mom is sunburned and dehydrated.
Better: Mom decided it was time for the children, who were sunburned and dehydrated, to go into the house.
14. could of vs. could have
This is very simple. I’m afraid “could of” is not even a phrase. It is often misused perhaps because it is
phonetically so close to “could have”
I wonder if I could have majored in English.

15. here vs. hear
here=adverb, in this place; in this spot. I am here and planning to stay. I wish you were here. It is here
in this place that we met.
hear=verb, to be within earshot; to perceive by ear. I hear you. We do not want to hear the policies
one more time. If only she heard what he had to say!
Easy reminder: Here is There with a preceding T and the two are almost opposites so think of them in a
pair.
16. irregardless vs. regardless
This is very simple also. I’m afraid “irregardless” has never and will never be a valid word. It is
completely made up. It’s not going to join the ranks of words regardless of what we do!
17. then vs. than
then=adverb, at the time; immediately or soon afterward. I will eat; then I will go. He shall see you
then. If you want to be there by then, you had better hurry.
than=used after comparative adjectives. He is taller than she is. I wonder how much more than this I
can pay. Will you please speak louder than them?
18. to vs. too vs. two
to=preposition. If you want me to do this, I will. You should be prepared to go.
too=adverb, also. They want to perform too. She too has one. So will they see you too?
two=noun, one plus one. I want you two to decide amongst yourselves. If only the two of them could
see you. How long before you two grow up?
19. were vs. where vs. we’re
were=past tense of verb to be. If I were a rich girl, I would live in Italy. You were happier then. I think
they were going to stay.
where=adverb, in or at what place. Where were you last night? Where can we go from here? Where in
this world did my dog disappear?
we’re=contraction of we are. We’re going to be famous. We’re not there yet. We’re about to make a
huge difference.

accept vs. except
One of the most common mistakes in English is to confuse accept and except. Accept is a verb, which means to
agree to take something: "I accept that I should have applied for the job earlier.” Except is a preposition or
conjunction, which means not including: "I get up at 08:00am every day except Sundays." For further
information about this error,
advice vs. advise
It is a common mistake in English for writers to confuse the word Advice. Advice is a noun that refers to an
opinion or recommendation that someone provides to you: "I need advice on which job to apply for." Advise is
a verb. When you advise someone, you direct him or her to take a particular course of action: "I advise you to
apply for the job as soon as possible." Notice in this example that the noun form (the naming word) ends in
“ice” and the verb form (the doing word) ends in “ise.” This is very often the case in English language and can
be used to assist you to ensure that you use the correct word in your writing.
affect vs. effect
Affect and effect are two words that are commonly confused. Affect is usually a verb (an action or a doing
word), which means to influence or change something. You should use the word affect when you are referring
to something that you intend to do in the future: “Insufficient sleep will affect my ability to compete in the race
on Sunday”. Effect is usually a noun (a naming word or a thing) that is generally used to discuss something that
you have already done: “The lack of sleep had an effect on my performance”. It can also mean the result of
something: “I experienced side effects when I told the tablets the doctor gave me.” Avoid this common mistake
in English.
all right vs. alright: Is “alright” all right?
All right has a number of different meanings that lead to its misuse being one of the most common mistakes in
English. The meanings of the word "all right" include yes, satisfactory, suitable, and feeling okay: “Yes, it’s all
right for you to borrow my basketball.” While many people use the word alright, this is actually not a real word
and many educators or teachers may strike a big red mark through it if it is used for academic or professional
writing. When in doubt use “all right.”
a lot vs. alot vs. allot
Many people use the words a lot as an informal way of identifying a “large quantity” of something: “I have a lot
of shoes.” While this is permissible in everyday language, it is actually slang and isn’t accepted as Standard
English. As such, it shouldn’t really be used in written form. The more suitable usage is when you’re trying to
measure something that can’t be physically counted very easily, like water, heat or fog: “There was a lot of mist
surrounding the castle.” As for "alot", this word does not exist… at all. You should never use it, ever. Allot is a
verb, which means to give, assign or allocate: "We were allotted a job each."
all ready vs. already
One of the most common mistakes in English occurs when people confuse "all ready" with "already." All ready
means entirely or in total: "Are you all ready for your group singing lesson?". Already is an adverb that means

before the present time or earlier than the time expected: "I was upset when I arrived at dinner and realized that
they had started eating already."
altogether vs. all together
All together (adj) means in unison, simultaneously or all at once: “The choir sang all together.” Altogether (adv)
means in total, overall or in sum: “Eventually the car broke down altogether.”
any one vs. anyone
Any one means any single person or thing out of a group of people or things: “I can recommend any one of the
students I have taught.” Anyone means anybody or any person and it's always written as one word: “Has anyone
seen my car keys?”
any vs. some
Any and some are both determiners. A determiner indicates the type of reference that a noun has. Determiners
are used to discuss indefinite quantities or numbers, when the exact quantity or number is not important. In
some cases, any and some can have the same meaning. Examples: “Will you have any?” “Will you have some?”
“Won’t you have any? ” “Won’t you have some?” As a general rule however, we use some for positive
statements, and any for questions and negative statements. Examples: “You may have some cookies from the
jar,” “I don’t want any cookies from the jar”.
Apart vs. a part
Apart (adv) means to be separated by distance or time: I always miss my boyfriend when we're apart”. A part
(noun) a piece of something that forms the whole of something: “They make me feel like I am a part of the
family”.
been vs. gone
Been refers to a place which someone has visited sometime in his or her life. In other words, "has been to"
refers to an experience. Gone to refers to someone who has gone to a place but has not yet returned.
borrow vs. lend
Lend means to let somebody use something or to give something to someone with the expectation that it will be
returned: “I will lend you my car but I want it back next week”. Borrow means to take something from
somebody with the expectation that you will return it: “If you let me borrow your car I will ensure that I return
it by Monday”.
bought vs. brought
Bought is the past tense of the verb to buy: "I bought a new car with my bonus". Brought is the past tense of the
verb to bring: "I brought the dog to visit my aunt”.
