Most Common Mistakes Every English Student Makes! ADVANCED - NATIVE Level English

Hi, everyone.

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, we got a new student today. Hello.

In today's greatest English class ever.

I'm going to tell you a secret.

Every English teacher in the world

corrects these English mistakes more than anything else.

So if you can improve your English

by learning these mistakes, then your English will be better

than 90% of all English students ever.

- He's scary. - I know.

let's just start the class.

Okay.

So do you guys have plans for tonight?

Tonight I will take care of some business.

Okay.

Yeah, we can talk about that.

This is a very, very common English mistake.

So don't worry.

I've actually made a video about this and all future tenses.

I don't know if you watch my videos on YouTube.

I’m pretty famous.

Nah, you're probably too busy.

The short version is this.

Don't use Will for future plans.

It sounds really weird

For example, you have plans for tonight.

Don't use will here.

All right.

You can either use Be going to.

So I am going to you are going to

he she it is going to. Or contract it.

I'm gonna, you're gonna he she it is gonna What are you doing tonight, Aly?

I'm going to see a friend tonight.

Or use present continuous.

Be +Ing

I AM. You ARE. He / She / It IS

And then the verb with ING. Seeing.

I'm seeing a friend tonight.

Now yes in general present continuous sounds more.

Sure.

More 100% I do this.

I'm seeing a friend tonight.

However however I'm going to see a friend and I'm seeing a friend

both could be 100% definite plans.

It really doesn't matter.

It is not a friend I am seeing tonight.

Not a friend.

Okay.

So the only time you see the difference

with these two is in a question like this.

for example, this weekend you are going to do a barbecue.

That's your plan.

Now you want to ask your friend, hey, this weekend

You come? Your plan or no?

It's my barbecue this weekend.

Are you going to come?

this is great. And you can ask.

Are you coming?

More specifically, are you coming?

Sounds like you're asking the final decision.

and are you going to come?

This sounds more specifically like at the moment,

do you think this is your plan?

like maybe it will change, maybe not.

It doesn't matter.

And again, you need to know that

they're like 99% identical.

Don't feel like you're making a mistake if you use this instead.

If this, no one cares. They're the same.

When can I use WILL?

Great question.

When can you use “WILL” naturally in English?

This is a very, very good question.

So mostly we use will

to emphasize a promise or an offer to help.

So for example hey you need help.

Don't worry I do this thing for you.

If your friend is very hungry.

This is when you use will.

Like. Don't worry.

I cook for you.

I will cook us something nice.

Yes, grammatically.

But remember, in spoken English it sounds very natural to contract.

We love contractions, So if there's a verb here, contract this.

If you don't, it sounds very emphatic, very strong.

I will cook us something nice.

That sounds weird in natural spoken English.

Don't worry.

I'll cook us something nice.

The contraction is always best. Or.

Okay.

Remember our barbecue plan from earlier?

Then imagine she says Yes.

I'm coming to your barbecue.

You want to say?

Well, you said that last time and you didn't come.

Now she wants to promise.

This time, I promise I come.

What can she say?

I will, I will.

I'll definitely come.

See? This emphasizes promises,

not future plans.

That's why it sounds weird when I say, oh, tonight

what you do in and you say, oh, tonight I will see a friend.

Tonight I will cook chicken.

No! Going to. Gonna.

I'm cooking.

See, it’s super easy.

Although when I cook, it's very messy.

I am agree.

Tonight will be very messy.

Jesus.

Okay.

The next mistake.

What he just said.

I am agree. I am agree with you. No!

I know in some languages like Spanish - Are you Spanish?

No you're not Spanish.

In some languages, like Spanish, Latin languages, this is not a verb.

This is an adjective.

So I. I'm agree.

Makes sense when you translate it.

So this is a direct translation mistake in English.

Agree disagree.

They are verbs.

I agree, I disagree, I don't agree, I don't disagree.

Hey, if you want, he can help you tonight.

Do you want that I help you?

Okay, so next mistake.

Fred here, he actually is Spanish.

I'm not Spanish.

And this is also a translation mistake.

So in Spanish “Quieres que te ayudo?”

In English directly translates

To: “Do you want that I help you?” or something

Right, Fred?

I’m literally Japanese.

So when you ask someone a question like this.

for example.

Oh, I help you.

Do you want that?

Don't ask it that way.

Ask it this way.

Do you want me to help?

So this pronoun.

Remember it's an object pronoun.

Do you want ME

Do you want HIM / HER/ THEM / US

and this verb is TO + INFINITIVE

To help, to do, to buy, to go.

Do you want him to leave?

Do you want her to say sorry?

Do you want me to go?

Hey, Fred, ask Ivan something.

Does he want you to help him tonight?

SHUT UP!

My God!

Did you just throw an orange at me?

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Do you want them to shut up?

My employer told me something last night...

What means “Turn out his lights”?

It could mean one of two things.

So one,

turn the light off.

Like, no more light.

Light on.

Light off.

You can say switch on.

Switch off the light.

Turn on, turn off the light.

Turn out.

The light is also okay.

The second one is like you

stop someone

from being alive. So.

Okay, I understand.

Turn out their lights.

But you know what?

I have to correct this mistake so often.

Don't worry. Everyone makes this mistake.

You make it too! I'm sure.

So it's the word order.

That's the problem here.

For example, do you know the word:

hiccup, if you don't know this word, you might ask.

Hey, What means hiccup?

No, no, that's the mistake.

So it should be.

What does.

Hiccup mean?

Hey, what does hiccup mean? What does hiccup mean.

What does APRICITY mean?

Everyone that includes you practice your pronunciation with me.

What does hiccup mean?

hiccup mean?

What does hiccup mean? It means this.

By the way, that is a hiccup.

What is that in your language?

Also in the comments ask me about a word

in English that you don't know the meaning of.

What does the word do?

You don't know idiom.

Expression doesn't matter to me what does bla bla bla mean?

And I will answer you if you're super cool.

I shall put him to sleep very quickly.

Wait, who?

Okay, so future tenses again.

Okay.

You know, I told you for future plans use I'm going to you're going to

are you going to or present continuous.

That is more common for plans but yours.

He shall sleep with the fishes.

It sounds like a plan.

Okay, so we shall

Shall is only really

useful for offers For example.

She is very, very hungry.

imagine he wants to offer to cook.

What can he say?

He always draws like this.

Yeah.

usually.

Shall I cook us something nice or.

not only offers, also suggestions like.

I'm so bored.

Shall we go get ice cream? Pronunciation.

All you three. And you at home.

Say it with me.

Notice the pronunciation is not.

Shall we go get ice cream? New?

Should we?

It's almost like one word together.

Make a suggestion.

Should we go get ice cream? Should we go out?

Should we do something fun? again?

This is great for suggestions.

Am I annoying you?

Shall I go And again really, really not great for future plans.

Tonight.

I shall do this tonight he shall

sleep early or whatever you said.

I very like your paint draw.

Oh, these are cool drawings.

Thanks, man.

That's very nice of you

Okay.

Also, I very like something.

This is another very, very common mistake in English.

How do we correct it?

You have two options.

One, change the word order like this.

I like dogs.

Very much.

I like dogs very much, but this sounds very formal.

Very old fashioned.

In modern English.

We don't really say this.

It's more common to just say.

I really like dogs. I really like cats.

You say it with me.

You too

I really like dogs. I really like dogs.

Or if it's an interest, like a hobby or something

that has all of your interest at that moment, like an attraction.

Use be into.

like I'm really into going to the gym.

I'm really into studying philosophy

to be into more or less

replaces, be interested in.

I’m into digging.

and something else you'll really like.

Something you'll really be into is my ultimate English e-book.

I made this specifically with you in mind.

This is for people who prefer to study alone at their own pace.

Whatever you want to study today, you skip to the lesson that you want to study.

There's over 100 lessons of vocabulary, grammar, idioms,

phrasal verbs, pronunciation, everything that you could one.

It's in there.

You can get it at papateachme.com or that link just below this video.

Yes. Let us meet at seven I will ...

I'm going to bring everything necessary.

Okay. Our next mistake.

I most often hear from Slavic speakers

So if you're suggesting something,

don't say.

let us do something fun.

Let us go. That sounds weird.

Contract it.

Let's do something fun. Let's go out.

And the pronunciation sounds more like.

Less.

Or You can glottal like that t.

Let's, Let's do something fun.

Let's go out.

This.

This is the good way.

If you say, let us go.

This sounds like an order.

Like, please let us go.

I never let go!

Very dangerous.

I can negotiate, let us.

Let’s discuss about this.

Great. Fantastic. But there's one mistake.

See if you can guess what the mistake was in that sentence.

For example, I want to talk about.

My money. My payment!

Sure.

Okay.

Money.

for example, at work, you want to ask your boss

about your salary, you might say, hey, can we talk about my salary

with the verb talk?

Yes. Use about, but with the verb discuss.

No about.

Can we talk about blah blah blah?

Can we discuss blah blah blah?

No. Discuss about.

I must go.

Oh. Oh. Obligations. Okay.

Before you go.

Before you go quickly, let's do obligations and rules.

So yes.

In old English textbooks they teach you to say use

must with rules, obligations or necessities.

Like tonight.

I must go out.

Tonight I must cook dinner.

That sounds weird.

Must is

for those things, but only for official things.

Like, I don't know, a store policy in a shop, for example.

You know, when you go to a bathroom in a restaurant,

there's that sign that says employees

must wash hands before returning to work.

That's their policy.

It's a rule.

It's a regulation, but it's official.

Oh, yes. My employer, he says.

Ivan, you mustn't leave a mess.

Policy? Yes?

Really?

So when it's me and you talking

and I say, a requirement or a need,

I will say tonight I need to...,

I have to..., I have got to...

Instead of must, for example.

Yeah, tonight.

I've got to study.

I have to pass this exam pronunciation.

It's more like a for an F.

Have to say it with me. Have to.

Nice.

I have to pass this exam.

I need to call a taxi.

okay, I have to go tonight.

I will know tonight.

I'm babysitting.

Oh, wait...

Babysitting. My nephew.

He is only three years old.

Can you believe how cute?! - Super cute!

I very like - I REALLY like to watch Finding Nemo with him.

It's very cute. He loves those little fish.

He has little toys of these little fish.

He sleeps with them. Cannot be separated!

I thought you were an assassin.

I thought you were going to kill Fred.

Assassin. No!

I don't have the correct visa for this

Anywya! Lovely lesson! Great! I learned a lot.

Thanks. Yeah.

See? In the next class. Bye.
