00:05:15

your your how do you mean cuter 3 all

00:05:20

right here are the 10 common English

00:05:27

mistakes and that's what I want to talk

00:05:28

about today so let's get to it I often

00:05:35

hear this Simon has 22 years in other

00:05:39

words when we talk about somebody's age

00:05:42

in English we don't use have to talk

00:05:46

about that I'm in English we just say

00:05:49

Simon is 22 years old I know that in a

00:05:55

lot of languages like French or Italian

00:05:57

and Spanish it translates to Simon has

00:06:01

22 years but if you want to speak about

00:06:04

somebody's age in English you need to

00:06:07

say you need to be verb basically and

00:06:10

you need to say that Simon is 22 years

00:06:12

old or you can just say Simon is 22 and

00:06:17

if you say a person is and then a number

00:06:21

then everyone can understand from the

00:06:24

situation you're talking about their age

00:06:26

okay you could say for example Michael

00:06:29

is 31 because I'm sure some place in the

00:06:38

world there is a Michael who is 20 he

00:06:40

was 31 that's right and by the way in

00:06:45

some cultures it's it's okay to ask

00:06:47

people hey how old are you

00:06:49

but in American culture the only time we

00:06:53

say oh how old are you is when we're

00:06:56

talking to a small child usually

00:07:00

under seven or eight years old okay so

00:07:03

be careful of that cultural point all

00:07:06

right the next one is I always hear this

00:07:08

oh I waited the Train or I waited my

00:07:14

friend to come at the cafe

00:07:17

wait needs a preposition for the

00:07:23

preposition for when you're talking

00:07:25

about what or who you waited for I

00:07:27

waited for the Train

00:07:30

that's important you can't say I waited

00:07:32

the Train I waited for the train if you

00:07:35

talk about time the preposition is

00:07:39

optional I waited 20 minutes but the

00:07:43

train never came or I waited for 20

00:07:47

minutes so both are possible but if

00:07:51

you're talking about the thing in other

00:07:53

words the object that you're waiting for

00:07:57

then you need to use for I waited for

00:08:00

you for 10 minutes

00:08:02

Holly amalu and fudgy and says I yeah

00:08:07

gee a Tila I waited for you guys wait

00:08:12

for thanks for joining me today

00:08:13

nice to see you here so wait for always

00:08:16

needs for okay that's a very common

00:08:18

English Learner mistake and speaking of

00:08:20

prepositions I often hear this yesterday

00:08:24

I went to shopping no here's why you can

00:08:32

go to a place I went to the shopping

00:08:37

mall I went to the cafe I went to the

00:08:41

beach I went to the park I went to the

00:08:43

train station but shopping is not a

00:08:48

place shopping is an activity that's

00:08:52

right so you can go to a place or in

00:08:57

English we have some phrases that use go

00:09:00

plus an ING when that when that ing is

00:09:03

an activity so you can go shopping you

00:09:08

can go swimming you can go skiing you

00:09:10

can go surfing you

00:09:12

go snowboarding you can go jogging but

00:09:16

you can't go to jogging and you can't go

00:09:21

to shopping alright and the last one

00:09:25

about two is go home after work last

00:09:32

night I was tired I went home you can't

00:09:35

say I went to home because home is a

00:09:39

special word in English and it's used

00:09:42

like an adverb that's the hint so I went

00:09:48

quickly

00:09:49

I went slowly I went home

00:09:54

that's the trick there all right let's

00:09:58

rock on more and what's the next one oh

00:10:04

they can do alright let's talk about

00:10:09

make and do in English when you make

00:10:12

something you build it make has the idea

00:10:17

of creating something this morning I

00:10:22

made coffee so I'm having a cup of joe

00:10:25

mm-hmm that's a good cup of joe oh you

00:10:29

make coffee you make breakfast you can

00:10:32

make tea you can make what make dinner

00:10:37

you can make a garden alright so when

00:10:42

you make something you build something

00:10:44

but when you when there's a process or a

00:10:47

procedure we use do so

00:10:52

homework is one of those procedures so

00:10:55

you can you know I instead of saying I

00:10:59

have to make my homework you should say

00:11:01

I have to do my homework so we in

00:11:04

English we do homework we we do work we

00:11:07

do laundry

00:11:08

that means wash dry put away the clothes

00:11:11

all right so do homework and not make

00:11:16

homework that's a very common mistake I

00:11:19

think because in some languages I know

00:11:21

that in Italian the ice I believe in

00:11:25

Italian that

00:11:26

the verb they have one verb which in

00:11:30

English we have two which is making do

00:11:32

so for a lot of Italian learners of

00:11:34

English that's a confusing point how

00:11:36

about in your language do you have one

00:11:38

word that translates to make and do in

00:11:42

English why don't you leave a comment

00:11:44

and let us know

00:11:45

that's my typing gesture by the way hope

00:11:48

you like that if you are just joining us

00:11:51

on periscope or on YouTube hey thank you

00:11:53

so much for waking up so early today to

00:11:56

do that my name is Michael and I'm from

00:11:58

happy English and we are learning the

00:12:00

top we're looking at the top common

00:12:03

English mistakes all right call I called

00:12:09

to my sister no I called my sister call

00:12:14

does not need a preposition so I talk to

00:12:18

my sister I write to my sister but I

00:12:25

call my sister I don't know why we don't

00:12:30

need a preposition there and I know that

00:12:32

in English prepositions are are tough I

00:12:36

know that and my best advice for

00:12:40

prepositions and dealing with

00:12:42

prepositions is just memorize the

00:12:46

pattern okay so you know I talked I

00:12:50

talked to my sister yesterday perfect

00:12:52

but I called to my sister it doesn't

00:12:57

work why I don't know English as I said

00:13:00

is a very illogical language so you just

00:13:03

have to memorize the pattern and that's

00:13:05

the best way to do that and and speaking

00:13:07

of memorize the pattern here's a tip for

00:13:12

practicing and learning English a lot of

00:13:15

people say oh Michael it's really hard

00:13:17

to remember vocabulary or how can I

00:13:20

remember you know grammar well the

00:13:24

secret is that I know that there are

00:13:26

lots of other English teachers out there

00:13:27

online saying or here are the top

00:13:29

secrets alright here's the real secret

00:13:33

okay this is this is not this is not

00:13:35

something fake how did you learn your

00:13:38

natural language by listening as a baby

00:13:44

and then repeating what mommy and daddy

00:13:47

and your people around you said and so

00:13:50

you learned by memorizing phrases and so

00:13:56

here's an example yesterday I called my

00:13:58

sister who did you call yesterday think

00:14:02

about that or or who did you call last

00:14:05

week I know these days we we don't call

00:14:08

we text te XT we text I texted my sister

00:14:13

it's the same thing we don't use to

00:14:15

after text Y that's the pattern

00:14:18

so just memorize that sentence you know

00:14:21

if you call your mother every day oh

00:14:23

good boy then you can say hey I call my

00:14:27

mother every day I need to call my

00:14:28

mother look at the time I have to call

00:14:29

my mother and so you you memorize that

00:14:32

pattern by using it in a sentence that's

00:14:35

related to you that's the best way I

00:14:38

think to remember grammar and vocabulary

00:14:41

okay

00:14:42

all right so that's that let me jump on

00:14:44

and say hello to Fabrizio joining us

00:14:47

here better late than never thank you so

00:14:49

much for coming to join this live lesson

00:14:52

and thank you to everybody on periscope

00:14:56

who's tapping the screen when you tap

00:14:58

the screen like that in periscope on

00:15:00

your on your mobile device little hearts

00:15:03

fly up that's kind of cool all right

00:15:05

let's look at the next five okay

00:15:07

I took a coffee I hear this all the time

00:15:10

hello Steve 2x1 on periscope thank you

00:15:16

I took a coffee okay I know that in a

00:15:20

lot of languages people the language in

00:15:24

the in your language you might say I

00:15:25

took a cup of coffee which means to

00:15:27

drink but in English I took a coffee

00:15:33

makes me feel like you stole somebody's

00:15:35

coffee okay cuz I you could either say I

00:15:40

had a coffee or I drank a coffee or I

00:15:44

bought a coffee something like that but

00:15:46

don't use take because the English take

00:15:49

doesn't

00:15:50

eat or drink that's the key point that a

00:15:53

lot of people get confused about I'm

00:15:57

having a coffee and you might wonder and

00:16:02

you might ask me hey Michael why did you

00:16:04

say a coffee because coffee is not

00:16:06

countable Wow

00:16:08

very observant that's right coffee is

00:16:11

not countable but in English and

00:16:15

especially in American English sorry I

00:16:17

don't know what they do over there in

00:16:19

England I mean British English but in American

00:16:22

English we can talk about drinks like

00:16:26

they are countable so if you're in a

00:16:28

restaurant in New York City and you want

00:16:31

to have coffee you could say to the

00:16:33

waiter hey can I have a can we have two

00:16:36

coffees that's possible okay I notice I

00:16:40

said can we have two coffees not can we

00:16:42

take two coffees okay that's an

00:16:46

important point let me just jump over

00:16:49

here quick s I said if I try to memorize

00:16:51

sentence and phrases I will not be able

00:16:53

to make a good sentence how is that

00:16:56

you've got to practice that's all

00:16:58

find a good model you know where you

00:17:01

know you know where you can find a good

00:17:02

model to make a good sentence is the

00:17:05

long men online dictionary long L Ong

00:17:10

man1 word long man online dictionary has

00:17:14

great example sentences and you can look

00:17:17

at one of their examples and you can

00:17:19

make a model from that so you don't have

00:17:21

to worry if you made an incorrect

00:17:23

sentence okay

00:17:24

or ask your English teacher or ask your

00:17:27

friends who study English or ask other

00:17:30

people on social media everyone says

00:17:33

talk - I can't improve my English

00:17:36

there's look there are there are about

00:17:39

25 people right now watching this live

00:17:42

lesson that means that there are 25

00:17:44

people at least at this time that want

00:17:47

to study English you can find a language

00:17:49

partner easily doing that all right

00:17:53

similar to call is discussed I always

00:17:57

hear there's we discussed about our trip

00:18:00

discuss does not need a preposition

00:18:03

okay I don't know why that is you could

00:18:06

say we talked about our trip or I asked

00:18:11

about our trip but we discussed our trip

00:18:15

so discuss does not need a preposition

00:18:19

all right the next one I hear this lot I

00:18:21

and Jack like pizza

00:18:24

that's grammatically correct however in

00:18:28

English we tend to put no we usually put

00:18:32

no we always put I last Jack and I like

00:18:37

pizza so even if there's 10 people Jack

00:18:41

and his mom and her friends and his boss

00:18:44

and their uncle and I like pizza so

00:18:51

always put I last especially when you're

00:18:53

writing ok that makes a big big

00:18:56

difference in an essay all right what

00:19:00

else I woke up in the midnight in the

00:19:08

midnight should be I woke up at midnight

00:19:13

because midnight is exactly 12 o'clock

00:19:16

0-0 clock or I woke up in the middle of

00:19:20

the night in the middle of the night in

00:19:24

the middle of the night means somewhere

00:19:27

between 12:00 midnight and say 3:00 or

00:19:31

4:00 a.m. that's in the middle of the

00:19:33

night okay I think Simon was up playing

00:19:37

PlayStation 4 until the middle of the

00:19:41

night ok but you can't say in the

00:19:44

midnight we do say in the morning in the

00:19:47

afternoon and in the evening ok in the

00:19:53

morning in the afternoon in the evening

00:19:54

or at night but not in the midnight ok

00:20:01

and then the last one is suggest I

00:20:06

suggested him to go there so a lot of

00:20:11

times we have this pattern it's a verb

00:20:13

it's an object and a 2 I ask

00:20:17

him to go there I wanted him to go there

00:20:21

I told him to go there but and I covered

00:20:26

this in another live lesson last month I

00:20:29

think but suggested recommend our

00:20:32

different

00:20:33

after suggest and recommend the pattern

00:20:37

is suggestive recommend plus a subject

00:20:42

and a base verb I suggested he go there

00:20:50

not he goes there he go there I

00:20:53

suggested he go there it's a subject and

00:20:58

a base verb I suggested you go there I

00:21:04

suggested she go there he suggested I go

00:21:08

there we suggested they go there it's

00:21:13

always the same pattern after suggest

00:21:15

and recommend I recommend you go there

00:21:20

ok that's the pattern so those are the

00:21:24

top 10 English mistakes and I hope that

00:21:30

that was helpful for you guys to avoid

00:21:33

some of them maybe you have some of

00:21:36

those problems when you speak English to

00:21:38
