Introduction

English grammar mistakes are common among Indian learners due to the influence of native languages. This guide covers the top 10 mistakes and provides solutions.

1. Subject-Verb Agreement

Many Indians say "He go" instead of "He goes." Remember: singular subjects need singular verbs.

2. Articles: A, An, The

Common errors include using "I went to market" instead of "I went to THE market."

3. Tense Confusion

Mixing present perfect with simple past is common. "I went yesterday" not "I have gone yesterday."

4. Preposition Errors

"Listen TO music" not "Listen music." "Depend ON" not "Depend from."

5. Word Order

Questions need inversion: "Where you are going?" should be "Where are you going?"

6. Countable vs Uncountable

"Advice" is uncountable - say "Some advice" not "An advice."

7. Pronoun Errors

"She is more intelligent than I" not "me."

8. Modal Verb Mistakes

"I can to swim" should be "I CAN swim."

9. Apostrophe Misuse

"Its" (possessive) vs "It's" (it is). Know the difference.

10. Sentence Fragments

Always complete your sentences with subject and verb.
