If you want to learn English, please consider these below.
A.
Introduction
Based on Batko, Ann (2004:24), the mistakes are mainly divided into three broad classes: grammar, usage, and pronunciation.
1. Grammar refers to the fundamental principles and structure of the language, including clear and correct sentence construction and the proper forms of words. This category includes mixing up transitive and intransitive verbs (such as “lie” vs. “lay”), mixing up the correct forms of pronouns (such as “who” vs. “whom”), and using a verb that doesn’t agree with its subject (as in “Everyone are going to the store”).
2. Usage refers to the way that particular words are used.
Such errors include mixing up words that sound alike (such as “affect” vs. “effect”), mixing up words whose meanings are related (such as “imply” vs. “infer”), using made-up words (such as “irregardless”), and using so-called clutter expressions that don’t add anything to your meaning (such as “at that point in time”).
3. Pronunciation problems are important because mispronouncing.
A word will definitely affect the way people perceive you. The correct pronunciations of some of the most frequently mispronounced words in English is reluctant happenend.
