Some embarrassing grammar mistakes and how to avoid them

How you say what you say matters, especially in professional contexts.


♻️ Irregular verbs.

English has quite a few surprises. We can't list all the irregular verbs, but be aware that they exist:


For example, "broadcast" is the same in the present tense and the past tense.

❌ "Broadcasted" is not
standard English.

"Yesterday, CNN broadcast a show."
The same goes for "forecast":

"Last night they forecast rain."

"Sneak" and "hang" fall into the category of irregular verbs, but the list is extensive, and you'll have to look into them individually.


♻️ "Nor" and "or."

Use "nor" before the second alternative when "neither" introduces the first. Think of it as "or" for negative sentences — and, no, it's not optional.


Neither Jenny nor I understand the new program.

You can also use "nor" with a negative first clause or sentence including "not":

My boss didn't understand the program — nor did I.


♻️ "Then" and "than."

There's a pretty simple distinction between these two words.

Use "then" when talking about time, as in

"We had a meeting, and then we went to lunch."

Use "than" in comparisons:

"This meeting was more productive than the last one."


♻️ Fewer and Less

➡️ Use "fewer" when you're talking about countable things:

"He ate five fewer hot dogs than his rival."

"Fewer people attended the meeting this week."

➡️ Use "less" for things you normally don't count, like duration:

"It took me less than three hours to read the entire book."

"There's less water in this glass."

🔴Sentence Structure


🔹There are four main sentence structures in the English language.



🔸1. Simple Sentences- one independent clause; contains a subject and a verb.

Examples of simple sentences:

Karen baked cookies for dessert.
Jeff and John are brothers.
Where are you going?


🔸2. Compound Sentences- two independent clauses joined with a conjunction; both of these clauses express a complete thought.
Compound sentences contain two independent clauses joined by a coordinator and preceded by a comma. The coordinators are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. (fan boys)

Examples of compound sentences:

John wants cereal, but Paul wants pancakes.
We went to the beach, and then we went to the mountains.
Chris was hungry, so he made a sandwich.


🔸3. Complex Sentences- one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
A complex sentence always has a subordinator such as because, since, after, although, or when or a relative pronoun such as that, who, or which.

Examples of complex sentences:

When it stops raining, we will play baseball.

You should brush your teeth before you go to bed.

Because she is nice, Mrs. Thomas let us read books that we brought from home.


🔸4. Compound-Complex Sentences- a compound sentence that also contains a dependent clause.

Examples of compound-complex sentences:

After we arrived at school, I went to gym, and Sara went to English class.

I need a new coat, so mom said that she would buy one.

Will you bring chips for the party that we are having for Jane, and can you invite Mary?

⭕️The difference between " To" & "For"

👉When to use "to":

‼️Use "to" when there is some kind of transfer happening or something is being moved from one place to another. "To" expresses direction.

👉Examples :

📒"We went from the restaurant to the party."
📒"Talk to your teacher and get more information about the exam."
📒"I go to the office every morning at 9am."
📒"He sold his car to me for $5,000."

👉When to use "for":

‼️Use "for" when something is being done to benefit something or someone else.

‼️Use "for" when you are trying to express purpose or the reason that something is happening

👉Examples:

📒"I bought this gift for you."
📒"He runs for his health."
📒"Bring this tea upstairs for your grandmother."
📒"Buckle up for safety."

❇️ کاربردهای کلمه “wish” به معنای خواستن، آرزو، میل داشتن

همان معادل want to است اما کمتر رایج است و رسمی تر.

👉 I wish to see the manager.

🔶 همانند مثال اخیر را میتوان همراه با فعل نیز به کار برد، که در آن صورت بایستی از hope استفاده نماییم.
