Learn from Mistakes in the Park | Common Mistakes in English | Havisha Rathore

I hope you have noticed this mistake. If not then listen to my words carefully.

I'm transferring this knowledge to you. My Bluetooth is on. Keep the Bluetooth of

your mind on so that I can transfer this message to you.

Hello, my esteemed brothers and sisters and fellow language enthusiasts!

Today, we will address a topic that is near and dear to all of us. The art of

effective communication in the English Language. Language is the bridge that connects us

enabling the exchange of thoughts, ideas, and emotions.

However, as with any skill, mastering the English language requires constant

effort, practice and a willingness to learn from our mistakes. We have all

experienced moments when we stumbled over our words struggled to find the

right phrase, or inadvertently misused a word. These moments are not to be feared

or avoided, but rather embraced as opportunities for growth.

It is through our mistakes that we learn, adapt and ultimately become better

communicators. Remember the goal here is not to be perfect but to continuously

improve and grow. Embrace your mistakes as valuable lessons that pave the way to

better communication. Seek feedback from others. Practice diligently and engage in

meaningful conversations to define your language skills. Let us approach the

English language with a sense of curiosity, humility, and the willingness

to learn from our mistakes, or I would say errors. By doing so, we not only

enhance our own ability to communicate but we also contribute to a world where

understanding and connection thrive. In this park, there are many quotes written

on the boards. I was walking and enjoying reading those quotes. I was getting inspired

but I observed some grammatical mistakes in the quotes. So, I decided to make a

video to learn together from those mistakes. Please don't misunderstand me. I

am not here to find a fault in the owner of those quotes and whoever has written

them. It is just a mistake. Anybody can make such mistakes. Making errors is a

human tendency. I am not here to point out the mistakes in the quote's message.

But we should get motivated by these wonderful quotes given by great

personalities. They gave us these quotes based on their personal experience. So, in

this video, apart from getting inspired by the quotes, we will learn English from

the mistakes inadvertently made in the quotes. I also want to bring up a point

here that we should observe carefully whatever we read, see, or listen to. The

way I did in this park, I hope you also would do the same way, wherever you go,

whatever you do. So, let's delve into some common mistakes that we all can learn

from. The first one is, "Success is when your signature becomes autograph." Now, do

you find any mistakes over here? Do you find? I think no. But I find one

mistake over here. But what is that mistake? That mistake is over here. Becomes

autograph. It should not be becomes autograph. It should be becomes an

autograph. But why should it be becomes an autograph? It should be becomes an

autograph because here autograph is a countable noun and generally we use an

article like an, a, or the before countable nouns. So, here autograph is a

countable noun. So, it should be becomes an autograph. Becomes an autograph. So, it

should be, "Success is when your signature becomes an autograph." I hope you got it.

Now, let's move on to the next quote.

The second quote is, "Confidence and hard work is the best medicine to kill the

disease called failure. It will make you successful person." Now, here, do you find

any mistake? I find two mistakes over here. But what are the two mistakes.

The two mistakes. Now, see, the first mistake is here.

Confidence and hard work is the best medicine? Shouldn't be "is the best

medicine"? I don't think so. It should be "are the best medicines" But why shouldn't

be "are the best medicines"? Because here there are two subjects, confidence and

hard work. Confidence and hard work. So the auxiliary verb are is supposed to be

used instead of is. You know, auxiliary verbs should be according to the subject

or I would say auxiliary verbs should agree with the subject. So, it should be

"Confidence and hard work are the best medicines to kill the disease called

failure. It will make you successful person." Uh, it will make you successful person?

Do you think this is right? No, I don't think so. The correct sentence would be

"It will make you a successful person. But why should the article 'a' be used

here? Let me tell you. The article 'a' should be used here because here person

person is a countable noun. So, article 'a' should be used. But now you may argue

that we do not use articles before adjectives, and here successful is

adjective. But let me tell you. Here the article 'a' should not be used for

successful. It should be used for person. The article here should be used

for person, not successful which is an adjective. So, it should be "Confidence and

hard work are the best medicines to kill the disease called failure. It will make

you a successful person. It will make you a successful person." I hope you got it.

Now, let's move on to the next quote.

The next quote is "Dreams are not those which comes while we are sleeping, but

dreams are those when you don't sleep before fulfilling them." Now, here, do you

find any mistake? Because I find one mistake over here. But what is that

mistake? That mistake is 'comes'. It should not be 'comes'. It should be 'come'. It should

be 'come'. But why should it be 'come,' and not comes? Let me tell you that part. It

should be come, but not comes, because the verb should agree with the subject, or I

would say the verb should be according to the subject. Here, the subject is

'dreams' and the verb is 'comes'. So, here, the verb is not agreeing with the subject. So,

here, it should not be 'comes'. It should be 'come'. It should be 'come'. I hope you got it.

Now, let's move on to the next quote.

The next quote is, "Courage is most important of all the virtues because

without courage you cannot practice any other virtue consistently." Do you find

any mistakes over here? I find two mistakes over here. But, what are those two

mistakes? Let me tell you. So, here, the first mistake is over here,

"is most important". Do you think this is correct? No, I don't think so. The correct

thing would be, "Courage is the most important," because here most is in

superlative degree and we always use the article 'the' before superlative degree. So,

here, it should be, "Courage is the most important." So, it should be, "Courage is the

most important of all the virtues." The virtues? Do you think this is correct? No,

I don't think so. Here, the article 'the' should be omitted or avoided. As we all

know that we do not use any article before abstract nouns in a general sense.

In a general sense, we do not use any article before abstract nouns.

So, here also the article 'the' should be omitted or avoided. And the second reason

why this article 'the' should not be used here is because they are talking about

virtues, they're not talking about any specific ones. So, here, the

article 'the' should be omitted or avoided. I hope you got it. So, now, what is

the correct sentence and I would say what is the correct quote?

The correct quote is "Courage is the most important of all virtues because without

courage you cannot practice any other virtue consistently." I hope you got it.

Now let's move on to the next quote.

The next quote is "Never stop fighting

until you arrive at your destined place- that is the unique you. Have a name in

life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realize

the great life." Here, do you find any mistakes? I find two mistakes over here.

So, let me tell you. The first mistake is over here "and have perseverance,

perseverance, and have perseverance." Do you think this is correct? No, I don't

think so. So, the correct thing would be "and have the perseverance" It should be

the perseverance. Now you might be wondering, in a general sense, we do not

use any article before abstract nouns, and here perseverance is an abstract

noun. So, why should I use the article 'the' before this abstract noun 'perseverance'?

Let me tell you. In a general sense, we do not use any article before abstract

nouns, but when the abstract noun is followed by to-infinitive then we

should use the article 'the' before the abstract noun. So, here the abstract noun

'perseverance' is followed by to-infinitive. So, here the article 'the'

should be used. So, it should be "and have the perseverance to realize the great

life." The great life? Do you think this is correct? No, I don't think so. So, the

correct thing would be "to realize a great life." Now, see, here life is an

abstract noun and great is an adjective. Now, you might be wondering. Here, life is

an abstract noun. So, why are you telling me to use an article uh before this

abstract noun? Let me tell you. See, in a general sense, we do not use any article

before abstract nouns. But when they are quantified or qualified in the context

then we can use an article like 'a', 'an', or 'the' So, here you know

like these abstract nouns are qualified or quantified by adjectives like I can

say I can say, "A new attachment," "A great life."

"A great life, a new attachment," and we can also quantify or qualify it by a clause

like I can say "The attachment that we have," "The attachment that we have." So, here

the adjective is great and the abstract noun is life and it is and this life

which is an abstract noun is quantified by the adjective 'great' So, we should use

the article 'a'. It should be "to realize a great life." So, the correct quote

would be "Never stop fighting until you arrive at your distined place- that

is the unique you. Have an aim in life. Now, see here, have a name in life. Now,

here, there is no article before 'life'. You know why? Because here, you know this 'life'

is not quantified or qualified in context by anything like a clause,

an adjective or anything. So, here, any kind of article should not be used. So, this is

correct. "Have an aim in life." I hope you got it. So, the correct quote would be

"Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place- that is the unique

you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have the

perseverance to realize a great life." I hope you got it. Now, let's move on to the

next quote.

The next quote is "If you salute your duty, you no need to salute anybody, but

if you pollute your duty, you have to salute everybody. Now, here, do you find

any mistake? I find one mistake over here. But what is that mistake? See, "you no need"

This is the wrong thing. You know what it should be. You know why this thing is

wrong. Let me tell you. As you know, every clause needs a subject and a verb. Every

clause needs a subject and a verb. Now, here, the subject is 'you' and the verb is

'need' The subject is 'you' and the verb is 'need' sorry

The subject is 'you' and the verb is 'need' and as this is a negative sentence, the

auxiliary verb 'do' should be used and it should not be 'no'. It should be 'not'. You do

not need. The auxiliary verb 'do' should be used instead of 'no'. It should be 'not'. "You

do not need to." Now, listen to me. So the correct quote would be "If you salute

your duty, you do not need to salute anybody. But if you pollute your duty, you

have to salute everybody. I hope you got it. For example, I can say, I been

running for a long time now. No, this is the wrong sentence. The correct sentence

is "I have been running for a long time now." I have been running for a long time

now. Let's take another example.

This novel written by me. This novel written by me. This is the wrong sentence.

The correct sentence is "This novel is written by me." This novel is written by

me. Let's take another example. you

you an excellent job yesterday by subscribing to my channel. You an

excellent job yesterday by subscribing to my channel. You an excellent job

yesterday by subscribing to my channel. so this is the wrong sentence. The correct

sentence is "You did an excellent job yesterday by subscribing to my channel."

Now, let's move to the next quote.

and I hope you got it

The next quote is "Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us in

this world. Fear has no place, only strength respectS strength." Now, here, do

you find any mistake? I find two mistakes over here. But what are those mistakes?

Now, see, the first mistake is that here there should be a comma because "in this

world" this is an introductory sentence. No, it's not an introductory

sentence. This is an introductory phrase. I hope you find this mistake. If

not then keep the Bluetooth of your mind on. I tell you this thing once again.

Please keep the Bluetooth of your mind on

and listen to me carefully so that I can transfer this message to you. Now

here, there should be a comma because this is an introductory phrase. So, there

should be a comma over here. You know introductory phrase, word, or clause sets

the stage of a sentence and it should always be followed by a comma. It should

be followed by a comma. So, here, there should be a comma and the second mistake

is that here there should be a comma. You know why here there should be a comma?

Here, there should be a comma because here there are two clauses and these two

clauses are not mixed. They need to be separated and to separate them a comma

should be used. So, here, there should be a comma. I hope you got it. Now, let's move

on to the next quote.

The next quote is "You cannot change your future, but you can change your habits,

and surely your habits will change your future." Do you find any mistakes over

here. I find one. No, two mistakes over here. Let me tell you. Now, see here, 'but'

should be preceded by a comma and 'and' should also be preceded by a comma. You

know why? Because here 'but' and 'and' are coordinating conjunctions that too in a

compound sentence. They're coordinating conjunctions in a compound sentence. You

know what the compound sentence is? A compound sentence contains two

independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction and generally

this coordinating conjunctions are preceded by a comma, are preceded by a

comma. So, here, before 'but' or I would say 'but' should be preceded by a comma and

'and' also should be preceded by a comma.

So, the correct sentence would be "You cannot change your future and, here comma,

but you can change your habits, here comma, and surely your habits will change

your future." I hope you got it. Now, let's move ahead to the next coat.

The next quote is "Life and time are the world's best teachers. Life teaches us to

make good use of time, and time teaches us the value of life." Now, here, do you

find any mistake? I find one mistake over here. But what is that mistake? That

mistake is over here. Now, here 'and' should be preceded by a comma. But why should it

be preceded by a comma? Let me tell you. Because here 'and' is a coordinating

conjunction in a compound sentence, and in a compound sentence, there are two

independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, joined by a

coordinating conjunction, and coordinating conjunctions are preceded

by a comma. So, here, 'and' should be preceded by a comma. I hope you got it.

Now, let's move on to the next quote.

The next quote is "To achieve any success, you have to first control your sense and

when this is combined with vision, you can achieve any goal. Now, here, do you

find any mistake? I find two mistakes over here. Now, let's see what those

two mistakes are. The first mistake is over here. Here 'and' should be preceded by a

comma, 'and' should be preceded by a comma. You know why? As I have already explained

that here 'and' is a coordinating conjunction that too in a compound

sentence. A compound sentence is a sentence in which there are two

independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction and generally

these coordinating conjunctions are preceded by a comma. They are preceded by

a comma. So, here, before 'and' there should be a comma means 'and' should be preceded by

a comma. So, here, there should be a comma. I hope you got it. Now, let's move on to the

next mistake. Now, the next mistake is over here. There should be a comma here.

You know why there should be a comma over here. Because here, you know here,

because from here the new clause is starting and the previous clause is

ending. Now, to separate these two clauses, you need to put a comma in between. There

should be separation of the twos clauses. So, you need to put a comma. So, here, vision,

from here, the first clause is ending. Now, from you, the new clause is starting. Now,

to separate these two clauses, you need to put a comma, after vision means you need

to put a comma after vision. I hope you got it. Now, let's move on to the next quote

The next quote is "If you want to shine like a sin, first burn like a sun." Now,

here, do you find any mistakes? I find no mistakes over here. But if you find any

mistakes, please let me know in the comment box. Now, let's move on to the next quote.

The next quote is "Without your involvement, you can't succeed. With your

involvement, you can't fail." Now, here, 't' is not visible but it is can't. You can't

fail. Without your involvement, you can't succeed. With your involvement, you can't

fail. I hope you got it. it's can't. Now, do you

find any mistakes over here? I find three mistakes over here. Now, the first mistake

is like here there should be a comma. You know why? Because "without your

involvement" this is an introductory phrase. So, there should be a common and I

hope you all know that there should be a comma after any introductory phrase. So,

here, there should be a comma and here also they should be a comma because this is

also an introductory phrase. You know we should put a comma after any introductory

phrase, word, clause, or anything. But it should be introductory. So, here, this is

an introductory phrase. So, we should put a comma. Here also a comma should be there,

and here a full stop should be there. So, there are three three mistakes. Now,

I hope you got it. So, the correct sentence, or I would say the correct quote

would be "Without our involvement, here a comma, you can't succeed. With your

involvement, you can't fail. But here should be a comma. I hope you got it. Now,

let's move on to the next quote.

The next quote is "Difficulties in your life do not come to destroy you, but to

help you realize your hidden potential and power, let difficulties know that you

too are difficult." Now, do you find any mistake? I find one mistake over here

which is here 'too' now here there should be a comma. Here also there should be

a comma. You know why? Because whenever there is a slight pause, you should use a

comma. Now here also there's a slight pause. "know that you too are difficult" So,

here this and this, both of these places should be a comma. 'too' should be

followed by a comma and before 'too' also a comma should be used. I hope you got it.

Now, let's move on to the next quote.

The next quote is "Courage is about doing what you are afraid to do. The one who

feels no fear is a fool and the one who lets fear rule him is indeed a coward.

Now, just pay attention here. It's not coward. It's coward. I repeat coward. Coward. I

hope you got it. Now, let's move on. "We must have the courage to act instead of

reacting." Now, here, do you find any mistakes? I find two mistakes. The first

mistake is that here there should be a full stop and the second mistake is that

there should be a comma before 'and' Do you know why? Because here see 'and' is a

coordinating conjunction, that, too, in a compound sentence. But what is a compound

sentence? A compound sentence is a sentence in which there are two

independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction and generally

the coordinating conjunction is preceded by a comma. So, here, this is the

coordinating conjunction and it should be preceded by a comma. I repeat now here

this 'and' should be preceded by a comma. I hope you got it. So, the correct quote

would be "Courage is about doing what you are

afraid to do. The one who feels no fear is a fool and the one who lets fear rule

him is indeed a coward. We must have the courage to act instead of reacting." And

here there should be a comma. I hope you got it. Now, let's move on to the next quote.
