Top 10 Common English<\/a> Mistakes that People Make<\/h1>\n

English is a hard language to study. The require of clear rules for grammar<\/a> and spell leave even the best of us confused. Because seriously, WHY is there a \u2018g\u2019 in daughter<\/a>? though, I sometimes show Grammar Nazi-like tendencies. Bad grammar and wrong English annoy me a little. A lot. So I have compile this list of top ten mistake that a lot of populace make, mistakes <\/a>that are in particular annoying<\/a> to me and to a lot of other sentence structure snobs. Take a look.<\/p>\n

10-\u00a0\u201cI prefer tea from coffee\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"\u201cI<\/p>\n

9- Brought and Bought<\/h2>\n

\"Brought<\/p>\n

8- \u201cWe speak<\/a> like this only\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"\u201cWe<\/p>\n

7- Literally<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Literally\"<\/p>\n

6- \u201cI didn\u2019t had any idea\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"\u201cI<\/p>\n

5- Present Continuous<\/a> Tense<\/h2>\n

\"Present<\/p>\n

4- To, Too and Two<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"To<\/p>\n

3- Loose<\/a> and Lose<\/h2>\n

\"Loose<\/p>\n

2- There, They\u2019re and Their<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"There<\/p>\n

1- You\u2019re and Your<\/h2>\n

\"You\u2019re<\/p>\n

one of the most ordinary<\/a> mistakes that people make in written English. A bulk of the inhabitants<\/a> seems sadly ignorant of the difference between \u2018your\u2019 and \u2018you\u2019re\u2019. It\u2019s beautiful simple really. The word \u2018you\u2019re\u2019 is used as a expedient abbreviation<\/a> of \u2018you are.\u2019 \u2018Your\u2019, on the other hand, means \u2018belong to the person the orator is addressing\u2019. It reflects ownership. One way of examination<\/a> if the word you are using is right is to make bigger \u2018you\u2019re\u2019 into \u2018you are.\u2019 If the ruling makes sense, you are using it correctly. If not, then<\/a> you most likely need to restore it with \u2018you\u2019. The dissimilarity should become clearer with this example-<\/p>\n

\u2018I am using your comb<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018I am using you\u2019re comb\u2019. clearly the first one is correct since the second sentence factually means \u2018I am using you are a comb\u2019, which makes no sense whatever. Similarly<\/a>, in \u2018You\u2019re look good\u2019 and \u2018Your looking good\u2019, the first sentence is right.<\/p>\n
