5 COMMON MISTAKES THAT MANY ENGLISH LEARNERS MAKE

Hey, have you ever felt frustrated because of your English mistakes?

Have you ever wished that someone would recognize what your mistakes

were and then help you overcome them by giving you the right things to say?

If so, today's lesson is for you.

I'm going to tell you the five most common mistakes that English

learners make and how to correct them.

You ready?

Well, then I'm teacher Tiffani.

Let's jump right in.

All right.

Mistake number one.

Many students say I'm agree with you.

I'm agree with.

Now this is not the correct thing to say.

Many students, even at the intermediate and advanced level, make this mistake.

So instead of saying, I'm agree with you, you should say, I agree with you.

That's right.

A simple fix instead of, I'm agree with you, you should say, I agree with you.

Again, a simple and common mistake with an easy fix.

Check out these example sentences, sentence number.

I agree with you that the project should be completed by tomorrow.

I agree with you.

Sentence number two.

I agree with you that the decision was not the best.

You're getting it already, right.

Again, I agree with you that the decision was not the best

and finally, sentence number.

I agree with you that the company needs to hire more female employees.

Again, it makes sense.

So again, the common mistake is saying, I am agree with you.

That is not correct.

Instead, you need to say, I agree with you.

Very good.

Now, the second common mistake that many English learners make is right.

I am very interesting in this topic.

Once again, I'm very interesting in this topic.

This is a common mistake.

We don't say this in English.

Instead of saying, I'm very interesting in this topic, you should say,

and I want you to repeat after me.

I'm very interested in this topic.

Good.

Again, after me, I'm very interested in this topic.

Excellent job.

Now check out these example sentences.

Again, I'm very interested in this topic.

Now we're gonna have this one.

I'm very interested in learning more about the history of the.

Once again, I'm very interested in learning more about the

history of the company.

You got it.

All right, let's check out the second sentence.

Here we go.

I'm very interested in attending the conference next year.

Again, we have the pattern.

I'm very interested in dot, dot, dot.

I'm very interested in attending the conference next.

And finally, sentence number three.

I'm very interested in investing in the stock market.

Now, last time, I'm very interested in investing in the stock market right now.

Make sense?

Right?

Again, there are common mistakes, but these common mistakes have simple

fixes, simple ways of saying the.

Properly.

All right, so let's move on to number three.

All right, so let's move on to number three.

A common mistake.

I'm doing a mistake.

I'm doing a mistake.

This is a common.

Said phrase from English learners, but it's not correct.

Instead, you need to say, I'm making a mistake.

Remember we're going over common mistakes.

So common that even intermediate and advanced learners during a

conversation might say these as well.

I've heard it many times.

So again, the correct way is I'm making a.

Here are some example sentences I'm making a mistake by not

double checking my work regularly.

I'm making a mistake by not double checking my work regularly.

Sentence number two.

I am making a mistake by not taking the time to read the instructions.

Again, I'm making a mistake by not taking the time to read the instructions.

And finally, sin number three, I'm making a mistake by not

asking for help when I need it.

Again, I'm making a mistake by not asking for help when I need it.

Once again, the mistake is I'm doing a mistake.

Instead, you should say, I'm making a mistake.

You got it.

Perfect.

All right, here we go.

The fourth common mistake.

Can you borrow me some money?

Can you borrow me some money?

Now, I have heard this so many times and it can be challenging or

confusing, but not after this lesson.

Again, the incorrect way.

The mistake is, can you borrow me some money?

Instead, you should say, can you lend me some?

Once again, after me, can you lend me some money?

Excellent.

Now check out these examples sentences.

Here we go again, using it properly.

Sentence number one.

Can you lend me some money?

I promise to pay you back again.

Can you lend me some money?

I promise to pay you back.

Sentence number two, I asked my friend to lend me some money for the event.

One more time.

I asked my friend to lend me some money for the event.

You got it right.

All right.

And sentence number three, I asked my parents to lend me some

money so that I could buy my.

One more time.

I asked my parents to lend me some money so that I could buy my books.

You see, again, the correct way to say this is lend me some

money, not borrow me some money.

You got it.

Excellent.

All right.

Now number five.

The fifth common mistake is this one right here.

I'm looking forward.

To see you.

I'm looking forward to see you.

That is incorrect.

Instead, you should say, I'm looking forward to seeing you.

I'm looking forward to seeing you.

You got it right.

This is the correct way to say it.

Here's the example sentence.

I'm looking forward to seeing you at the party tomorrow.

Once again, I'm looking forward to seeing you at the party tomorrow night.

You got it.

Excellent sentence number two.

I'm looking forward to seeing my family over the holidays once

again, I'm looking forward to seeing my family over the holidays.

Excellent and sentence number.

I am looking forward to seeing my friends at the game next week.

One more time.

I'm looking forward to seeing my friends at the game next week.

You got it.

Excellent.

All right, so today I gave you the five common mistakes that so many

English learners make, but now you know the correct things to say and

you can move forward and speak English well, I'll talk to you in the next.

You still there?

? You know what time it is?

It's story time eight.

I said it's story time.

Alright.

Today's story is about a scary movie.

Now, don't worry, the story's not scary, but the movie was, this happened

when I was about 10 or 11 years old.

I liked tv, I liked movies, but I never watched scary movies.

Until this day, a new movie had come out.

The movie was Jaws about a shark named Jaw.

And I just happened to watch this movie.

I think I watched this movie with my family, not my friends, and

the movie was extremely scary.

I'm sure you've seen the movie

That Sound comes from that movie, right?

The shark was attacking this, this fisherman and the

shark was extremely scary.

Now, if we watch the movie, in 2023 when this lesson is being recorded.

It's probably not that scary.

It probably wouldn't scare us at all because compared to the movies

now, that movie, no, not Scary.

However, that day when I saw that movie, it made the hair on

the back of my neck stick up.

So I remember I finished watching the.

And it was time to go to bed, so I got ready for bed, you know, took

my shower, brushed my teeth, washed my face, did all of the normal

things you do before going to bed.

Everything was fine.

The movie was scary when I was watching it, but after it, I was fine.

Or soon I thought I went to my bedroom, say goodnight to my parents.

My sister said my prayers, and I cut the light off.

I closed the door a little bit, it cracked it, and I went and I laid in my

bed, and then all of a sudden I heard Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna,

Donna, Donna, and I looked at the door and Jaws was coming through my door.

I yelled out and I said, Uhuh, Uhuh.

Call my mom.

I said, mommy, listen, George is coming to get me.

Now.

Remember, I was young, right?

I must have been younger than Ted.

I was young, but I was scared because the movie was.

My mom, of course, told me Baby Jaws is not there.

But this is why you don't watch scary movies because they can

cause you to see things and think things that really aren't there.

Now, I still to this day do not like scary movies.

Mm-hmm.

My friends know Horror scare.

No, I don't like those kinds of movies.

I like romantic comedies.

I like movies that make you feel good.

Right.

Or that make you think really deeply.

But I never will forget.

Seeing what I thought was jaws, that huge shark coming through my door knowing it

wasn't possible because he weren't in the water, but that's how scary the movie was.

Maybe you also have seen a scary movie.

Maybe you saw one when you were a kid, and even to this day, you remember it.

Don't watch scary movies, . All right, I hope you enjoyed this lesson and

I'll talk to you in the next one.
