Frequently asked
Why do learners keep making the same mistakes?
Most common mistakes come from translating directly from your first language, or from a small grammar rule that's easy to miss. Seeing the wrong and right versions side by side, with the reason, is the fastest way to fix them for good.
Are these mistakes only a problem for beginners?
No — many trip up advanced speakers too, especially fixed things like "married to" (not "married with") or "discuss" (not "discuss about"). They're about habits, not level.
How do I stop making a mistake I keep repeating?
Learn the one simple rule for it and one correct example you can picture. Repetition of the right version — not just knowing the rule — is what makes it automatic.
