I just have seen a few common mistakes , and not more .I want to tell others them to notice and avoid .​

Another incorrect sentence which is usual is "I am agree "
as you know , agree is a verb , it is not noun or adejctive .
The correct sentence is " I agree "

And "diary " , a lot of Eng. learners , think that diary and memory are the same and sometimes use diary , instead
of memory . Diary is :

A book in which one keeps a daily record of events and experiences.

Week II :

1.Too lazy to do sth,too young to be left alone,etc....These expressions in the general form of "Too +adj.+ infintive " are used to indicate that you can't do something because you are the mentioned adj. (e.g : lazy,young ) note that It's not " Too lazy Too ..."

2.Mistakes are made not done ! Meaning that you make a mistake instead of doing a mistake

3. "wanna" is the abbreviation of " want to" , so saying " I wanna to " is incorrect.

4.The verb Discuss does not need a preposition so You discuss a topic you don't discuss about it.

5.One of your friends said "speaking from experience "which is incorrect and if you wanna imply the same meaning you'd better use" speaking out of experience".

6.I must emphasize that wich in the false form of which.Minding your dictation will give the reader a sense of professionalism.as I've seen several spelling mistakes in posts.( e.g : rubbery , galaxy)q​

Week III :

1.The verb '"need " does not need a preposition ,so "need to something " in incorrect.
2.After the preposition ' For " you must use a gerund ( ing form of the verb ) ;Thus " For communicate ..." in incorrect and instead you should either say " to communicate " "for communication " or " for communicating ".
3.The causative verb " make " is followed by a bare infinitive meaning that you should say " make somebody do something " instead of " make sb to do sth".
4."The other" is rather different from "another".I recommend you use a grammar reference to clearly understand their differences.if not interested, p.m me for explanation.
5.Once more I am emphasizing that "I'm agree " is incorrect.
6..pay attention to notes of previous weeks since some of them were repeated


p.s: Guys ! repitition of common mistakes previously mentioned here in the forum implies your lack of attention.You'd better check this topic every week or so to learn a few points ​

1.The verb '"need " does not need a preposition ,so "need to something " in incorrect.

As I know it depends on condition, for example you said: "Does not need a proposition" and also I can say : "this page needs to be checked again"​

Week IIII :​

Between, it is incorrect to use it for comparing more than 2 things. we should use among in this conditions​

: Regarding the verb need

Case 1 : Verb

If an infinitive is to be metioned after it, the use of the preposition "to" is mandetory . a

Case 2 : noun

A noun following the verb "need" neither does, nor should come with a preposition . x

I think it's much better to say on the condition
for you're talking about a specific one

Notice the past tenses of the verbs you are using , mainly irregular ones
Another common mistake I have seen in the forum is using "d" and "ed" for making the past tenses of irregular verbs , that is often wrong .For example "He comed"or even "He camed"
This page provides you with irregular verbs and their past tenses n past participles​
