Common Mistakes and Corrections

Wrong: Mad from you

It's important to use the correct preposition. "Mad at you" is the correct phrase to express anger towards someone.

 

Wrong: She speaks English good
Right: She speaks English well
Use "well" instead of "good" when describing how someone performs an action. "Good" is an adjective, while "well" is an adverb.

 

Wrong: Knock the door
Right: Knock at the door
Prepositions matter. The correct phrase is "knock at the door" to describe the action properly.

 

Wrong: He was arrived late
Right: He arrived late
Avoid unnecessary auxiliary verbs. "He arrived late" is the correct simple past tense form.

 

Wrong: He drinks too much coffees
Right: He drinks too much coffee
"Coffee" is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralized in this context.
