Today's lesson is action-packed! I've got 30 common English mistakes that EVERYONE makes - my students (even native English speakers!)
You've heard me say that your mistakes are the best way to learn. That's why I designed this lesson as a TEST! To help you find out WHERE you are making mistakes... And fix them!

If you get it right, then that's awesome! 🙌
If you get it wrong, then this is the perfect time to learn. 👌

You're right Emma! A today's lesson is really fabulous! I flicked through all of the mistakes that beginner students usually make in English, it's important, as I think.
Emma Emma police response to my question sometimes in the present simple continue some native teacher says the do weekend stadium in present continuous as long as we talking about about action right now is it correct or not because some teachers that that is correct they both agree at the exams you're better not used them?
Thanks for sharing 👍
Would you please make a video about how to improve the writing skills ? Get a high lever of an academic writing . Thank in advance . Love your videos 🙂🌼.
Emma😇❤👪
As a native English speaker, it was interesting to see all the intricacies of the language that we just know and take for granted. I can see that it would be very difficult to learn without a lot of care and practice.
This lesson was pretty intense and interesting ofcourse..I learned a lot indeed.. thanks Emma my fav online teacher 😘
Thank you Emma for this fantastic lesson, so that many mistakes of English grammar will be certainly avoided.

Well hey there Emma, my dearest English coach! I was looking forward to your new lesson today and I'm happy at present! I can say it bluntly I don't make any mistakes while using English by the reason I've been following your best channel for over five years as from I've come across that a one day! You definitely taught me how to speak and write in English correctly! Thanks a lot for everything! I suppose, there's no more vital 'n' essential for a teacher than gratified 'n' of course, successful students that you can be proud of, isn't there? And I saw your recent Instagram photo with Frankie and I was surprised at how big she was! She's a really big girl, you know!
It's a pleasure! There is nothing better than knowing that you have impacted someone else's life for the better. 😊 I love that my job brings me so much joy! And yes, Frankie is HUGE now! SHe is no longer my little baby 😪 Small correction: Thanks a lot for everything! I suppose, there's *nothing* more vital 'n' essential than *grateful* students that you can be proud of, *is* there?
@@mmmEnglish_Emma Oops!.. sorry Emma I mistook a little bit! But thanks so much for your timely correction! Yes, I knew how I could say this rightly but my flair has let me down a bit!.. I'm watching 'n' enjoy your new video at the moment! I wish you all the best! I'll see you in there soon!
Fabulous lesson!! So clear and well explained. 🤩😊👌

After watching your video, I think I am smarter than I was yesterday. Thank you, Emma!
That's fantastic to hear, Kenta! Thank you for your kind words 💛
Hi Emma, thank you for the helpful tutorials. I have already been able to avoid some of my mistakes. Maybe you could also make a video on the question of when to use anything, something or nothing. I am always very unsure about this. I am looking forward to your next post.
Thank you for the video, at first most of the mistakes seemed quite easy to me and I thought it was intended for biginner English speakers, but then I realised some of these are actually quite tricky and I caught myself doing some of these
Creative as usual! Thank you, Emma.
What the excellent emotions and mimics are on her face! I know English a little but I understand a lot in this video. Thanks.
Thanks for the video Emma. It's useful!
Thank you so much for explaining! I learned a lot from you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great Lesson !
Another great lesson. Thanks, Emma! I love your way of approaching grammar with simplicity and your charisma. I'll try the exercises! The mistake with "who" and "that" is one that got me, also the one with "less potatoes". Many details to pay attention to. Hope you are well recovered now to continue teaching us. Bye! :-)
You're right. Those two are tricky. The "fewer/less" mistake is made so often! Once you start paying attention, you'll notice it more.
@@mmmEnglish_Emma Good afternoon !. I don't understand the sentence number five; why don't we use the past perfect ?. Is it because of the word "yesterday" ?.
Hey I love all the lessons and videos you have and been making I been watching a lot of them they are really awesome 😎 keep up the good work 🙃❤️
wow I love this video so much ! I love your lesson Emma
Wow, this was fun and challenging! Thank you teacher Emma!
You're so welcome! ❤️ Which ones did you answer incorrectly?
Fantastic performance. Well appreciated teacher. Thanks so much.
Hi Emma, you have posted great video lessons . you provide crystal clear explanations so that we can improve our english as well as expanded vocabulary. You rock. Thanks in advance for corrections, in case have mistakes in my comments. take care.💙
Absolutely wonderful...
Great lesson! I thought the native speakers didn't make mistakes like those that you have shown us.
"To revert back" or "to reply back" are examples of pleonasm, which is the use of more words than necessary to convey meaning, either due to lack of style or emphasis.
You are amazing teacher, thank you very much......
Busted! Thanks Emma 😊
I'm incredibly glad to watch your video lesson again. ♥️ dear teacher
I'm glad you are able to watch and learn with me!

Hi Emma. Can you make a video explaining direct / indirect speech and explain if native speakers of English really use in everyday speech this whole idea of changing tenses or it is only a case of well educated speakers? I would appreciate this.

Very useful! Thank you!
Thank you, Dezmond 😘
Great lesson. Thank you teacher Emma.
🥰
Thank you in Advance for your consideración .Emma
I have seen quite a lot of people commented on You Tube and they've used: could/would/should of and I was not sure they're wrong or right but I only used could/should or would have so I was kind of confused because I supposed most of them are better than me in term of speaking or writing English, and now after this lesson from a teacher whom I've secretly admired. I now know that they're wrong lol. Thank you so much Emma and have a wonderful day.
Thank you so much best teacher Emmmmmmma , I love your lessons today on i will be very intelligent
Very informative indeed
Thank you again for this lessons to becouse today you give tomorrow l have forget this idea

You're welcome! Have you downloaded the worksheet to practise/revise as well?
It’s very useful for me. Tks so much❤️
You're welcome 😊
I've been speaking American English for approximately 60 years and I've never heard or read "revert" used the way is it in this video! When correcting that sentence, I changed it to "I'll return to you shortly." Your sentence seems to use "revert" in the sense of "return to a particular location," while I've only seen it used to describe "returning to a previous state or condition." As with: "One minor setback in his self-improvement regimen and he's reverted to his old habits" or "We've discovered a glitch in the new software update, so we're going to revert to the old system." Thanks for the video!
Oh, in the video I was explaining how it's often used in emails or when speaking on the phone. I've heard this one often: "Could we arrange a meeting?" "I'll check and revert back to you".
@@mmmEnglish_Emma Yes, I understood the meaning -- I just don't think anyone here in the US uses the word "revert" in that way. At least, I've never heard it used that way! In your example here, we'd probably say, "I'll check and GET back to you." So, I learned something from the video! Thanks!
I always learn great lessons, so thank you Emma.
It's an excellent lesson along with the PDF grammar exercise. 😘
Hello Maria!! 😘😘
You're an interesting teacher. You make me interested to learn English. I love you Emma!!
🙌
Thank you so much for this brilliant lesson .
You're very welcome Eurides 😍 Which one of these mistakes do you tend to make?
countable and uncountable noun.
I enjoyed this lesson a lot... Make more videos like this one...
Noted, Niharika! I'll do my best to make more like this one soon!
It was an amazing lesson. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
I am satisfied with the teachings of mmmmmenglish teacher Emma 👍
Super useful lesson! Thanks
You're very welcome!
thank you so much for this video!
You're so welcome Elisa! Do you make any of these common mistakes? 😆
My favourite gripe is the use of less instead of fewer. I'm glad you included that clanger. Your statement "I could have passed if I studied harder" might be grammatically correct, but I would suggest that logically, "I could have passed if I had studied harder" makes more sense.
Hello teacher Emma, I'm glad to learn with you again. Watching from Philippines. Thank you so much for this topic, You have a great help in my learning.
Hello from Australia. I'm so glad you found this helpful.
I'm so glad to hear it, Jurie-Ann!
Hi Emma, I'm coming down with flu which always drives me depressive. So, the lesson hit the spot to give me a lift :) Thanks a lot :)
So sorry to hear you're unwell! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson though 😄 I hope you feel much better soon!
