Common and funny mistakes in English | Proper use of comma | Proper use of words | Proper use of Hyphens | Proper use of verbs
When you learn English and start using it as part of your daily life. Then you should know that you cannot improve your English if you continue to make mistakes unknowingly.
As English is not your first language, sometimes you have to translate it from your native language. While translating, you can make these mistakes without your knowledge because some phrases and words are used differently in other languages.
You may not believe that some common errors can be so funny and even so dangerous. So you have to be very serious about the rules of English grammar.
In this article, I am sharing some common mistakes in English. You should avoid such common mistakes as beginners generally make.
Some Funny Mistakes
1. Proper use of a comma
This is what I have mentioned before even a missing comma ( , ) can be so funny or dangerous. In the First sentence "let's eat grandpa" seems we are going to eat grandpa. While in the second sentence there is a comma between let's eat and grandpa which Means we are going to eat with grandpa.
So, use a comma properly.
Here is another example of when you forget to use a comma. You like dogs and cooking. But if you forget to put a comma between cooking and dogs it becomes you like to cook dogs. (Have you noticed the comma is misplaced after reading)
2. Proper use of hyphens -
Answer : (B) Giving - The correct answer is "Giving". The phrase should be: "The teacher was giving an exam."
Teachers give exams to students, and students take exams.
Q2. He _____ a mistake.
Answer : (B) Made - The correct answer is "Made". The phrase should be: "He made a mistake."
When referring to errors, the verb "make" is commonly used, as in "make a mistake" or "make an error."
A) Did
B) Made
