Non-native speakers of English often times find the English language difficult, but with practice, you’ll find that learning the language becomes requiring little effort each day. Try finding native English speakers to discourse with, and speak and write the language as much as possible. It’s also a good idea to listen to English radio and television and repeat back what you hear. The more you exercise and take probabilities by asking questions in English, the sooner you’ll speak fluently.

Here are numerous mutual ESL errors:

1) Wrong Articles: The articles ‘a’, ‘an’ and ‘the’ indicate that a noun will follow. The indefinite articles ‘a’ and ‘an’ are employed before things which are non-specific, singular nouns (a book, an elephant, an egg). The definitive article ‘the’ is used in front of specific singular or plural nouns (the books, the elephant, the chairs).

Article error: There is finelooking girl over there. Correct: There is a beauteous girl over there.

2) Wrong Prepositions: English prepositions may be confusing. Try memorizing mutual expressions containing prepositions.

Preposition error: I am married with my husband.

Correct: I am married to my husband.

3) Wrong Verb Tense Verbs ought to reflect the rectify tense. Tense error: Yesterday I run to the store. Correct: Yesterday I ran to the store. Tense error: Tomorrow I talk to the teacher. Correct: Tomorrow I will talk to the teacher.

4) Wrong Form of Irregular Verbs

In English, regular verbs end in ‘ed’ in both past and past participle (talk/talked, has talked), while irregular verbs now and again alter form (drink/drank, has drunk). Irregular verbs must be memorized because they don’t follow any rules.

Verb error: The girl swimmed by herself.

Correct: The girl swam by herself.

5) Repeated Subject

The subject of a sentence shouldn’t be repeated as a pronoun.

Repeated subject error: The man he is very gentle.

Correct; The man is very gentle.

6) Wrong Form After a Verb Some English verbs may be followed by an ‘ing’ verb form, often times with a preposition falling amongst the main verb and the ‘ing’ form. (i.e. She plans on leaving soon.) Other verbs must be followed by an infinitive. Don’t use an infinite where an ‘ing’ verb is used. Wrong verb form: He enjoys to walk in the park. Correct: He enjoys walking in the park. Wrong verb form: The woman wants learning English. Correct: The woman wants to learn English.

7) Wrong Order of Adjectives

When two or more adjectives (modifiers) come before a noun, they commonly follow a peculiar order. This is the ordinary order of adjectives when there are more than one of them:

1 Article

2. Judgment (terrific, mean, silly)

3. Size (big, small, tiny, little, enormous, large)

4. Shape (tall, short, oval)

5. Age (young, old, modern, ancient)

6. Color (brown, white, blue)

7. Nationality (Russian, Dutch, Korean)

8. Material (wood, wool, brick)

Wrong adjective order: He wants a white new bike.

Correct: He wants a new white bike.

Wrong adjective order: She is wearing her gold African best necklace.

Correct: She is wearing her best African gold necklace.
