Common Grammar Mistakes - Top 3 Errors to Avoid

Discover and correct the top three common grammar mistakes made by English learners.

Mastering English grammar can be challenging, but avoiding common mistakes can significantly improve your language skills. In this video, we highlight three frequent errors English learners make and how to correct them.

First, consider the sentence "I wish I was there". The correct form is "I wish I were there". When expressing wishes about situations contrary to fact, use "were" instead of "was".

Next, let's look at the question "Would you like any water?" The correct form is "Would you like some water?" Use "some" in affirmative questions and offers, as it sounds more natural and polite.

Finally, there's the sentence "Everybody have problems". The correct form is "Everybody has problems". "Everybody" is a singular pronoun, so it requires a singular verb.

By paying attention to these common mistakes, you can enhance your grammar skills and communicate more effectively. Keep practicing, and soon these corrections will become second nature.
