5 Most Common English Mistakes and How To Fix Them!


today we’re doing five of the oh my god
these are so common mistakes in English
so if you make these mistakes don’t
worry you’re normal but today we’re
gonna fix them number one you have some
flowers and this remembers me of spring
can you see the mistake it’s in that
word this mistake is the difference
between remember and remind both words
talk about memory but don’t make the
mistake of using one when you need the
other here’s an example when you see
someone and you’re trying to think of
their name what is your name if you
don’t have a memory of that person you
would say I don’t remember you remember
means to have a memory of something or
someone if someone gives you the memory
of something makes you remember a thing
then you use the verb remind not
remember oh you’re my mom sorry thanks
for reminding me I’m so stupid
in other situations for example you need
to buy donuts you’re with your friend
you want to say you please make me
remember that I need to buy donuts you
would say to that friend please remind
me remind me to buy donuts so that
mistake from before let’s correct that
we wouldn’t say this remembers me of
spring you would say this reminds me of
spring spring the next very common
mistake is this one sometimes we all
need money
[Music]
and if you are that one friend who
always asks this don’t because there’s a
mistake in that sentence which is the
mistake word can you see it it’s this
one
borrow we wouldn’t say can you borrow me
some money that’s the mistake why is it
a mistake there are two words to lend
something you are giving something to
borrow means to take example example she
wants money so how can she ask for it
well she can say in two different ways
depending on which subject she uses
remember lent means to give so can you
lend me can you give me so the question
is can you lend me some money
can you give me for a short time some
money if the subject is I can I well now
we want to take right so can I
can I borrow some money notice here that
with lend you must have that object
pronoun lend me lend him lend her with
borrow no that’s fine no object pronoun
here I mean you can
can I borrow blah blah from you from him
from her again with lend you must have
that object pronoun
we’ve borrow you can it’s better without
example your friend needs some money you
want to offer that money what is your
question
don’t worry I’m a good friend I can give
for a short time I can lend some money
is there a mistake here yes there is
where’s the mistake remember after the
verb lend you must have that object
pronoun you I can lend you some money
maybe your teeth are hurting and every
time you touch them ouch it really hurts
so in this case what do you want to say
my teeth are so sensible no this mistake
I think is more common in Latin
languages because the word sensible is
what’s called a false friend we have the
word in English but it doesn’t mean the
same thing when your feelings are
stronger than usual then you wouldn’t
say sensible you would say sensitive my
teeth are sensitive the same example if
if your feelings for example are quite
strong and a sunset can make you cry or
a movie just makes you cry or looking at
puppies on Instagram makes you cry those
little golden retrievers again the same
example you are sensitive when you are
sensible it means you’re doing something
with wisdom you’re doing it in the wise
way the smart way the good way for
example it’s dinner time you’re hungry
which meal do you choose a salad or a
doughnut well of course your mother
would tell you that the doughnut it’s
it’s not a good idea it’s not the smart
thing to do the salad however is the
sensible option so if she wants to say
I’m going to make the smart wise
decision
I’ll be sensible and eat a salad who
eats a salad forget your salad doughnuts
it’s where true happiness is
the next mistake is actually a question
that I get very often in the summer it’s
what’s the difference between shade and
shadow are they the same thing
what kind of it’s better if I explain in
a different way and the final mistake is
this one I’ve heard students sometimes
say I want to do something funny let’s
do something funny there’s a difference
between fun and funny this is it when a
situation an event an activity makes you
feel happy
you’re like this is good I like this
you’re smiling
everything is great then that situation
is fun so if you want to do something
that makes you smile then you should say
let’s do something fun not funny in
short fun yeah funny for example if your
doughnut comes to life tells you a joke
and makes you laugh then you can say
this Oh doughnuts you’re so funny
you really make me laugh you you’re so
funny
