1️⃣ Using any for two, instead of either :

❌ Don't say: Any of these two books is good.

✅ Say: Either of these two books is good.

⚠️ "Either" means one or the other of two, "any" means one of three or more: Any of these books will do.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

2️⃣ Using a double negative.

❌ Don't say: She says she's not afraid of nobody.

✅ Say: She says she's not afraid of anybody.

Or: She says she's afraid of nobody.

⚠️ In English two negatives are equal to an affirmative statement. You should avoid using two negative words in the same clause. When "not" is used, we change:

📍 none to any,
📍 nothing to anything,
📍 nobody to anybody,
📍 no one to anyone,
📍 nowhere to anywhere,
📍 neither ... nor to either ... or.

“TO” AFTER “ARRIVE”

Don’t say: We arrived to the station.
Don’t say: When will you arrive to Rome?

The correct sentences are:

◾️We arrived at the station.
◾️We got to the station.(more informal)
◾️When will you arrive in Rome?

“Get to” is an informal way to say “arrive”… but don’t use “to” with the previous exceptions:

◾️I got home at midnight.
◾️What time did you get there?
◾️The dog got outside again.

#common_mistakes

1️⃣ The ordinal numeral misplaced.

❌ Don't say:- I've read the two first chapters.

✅ Say: - I've read the first two chapters.

⚠️ Place ordinal numerals before cardinal numerals. There can't be two first chapters, only one. Similarly, we must say: The last two (three, etc.), and not The two (three, etc.) last.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

2️⃣ Enough, when used as an Adverb, is preceded by a positive degree Adjective or Adverb.

❌ Don't say: - He is greater enough to pardon you.

✅ Say: - He is great enough to pardon you.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

Two negatives cancel each other. Hence two negatives should not be used in the same sentence unless we make an affirmation.

❌ Don't say: - I have not got none.

✅ Say: - I have not got any.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
Capable of + -ing.

❌ Don't say: - They're quite capable to do that.

✅ Say: They're quite capable of doing that.

⚠️ Note: Also incapable of; to + the infinitive follows able or unable: He is unable to do anything.

Between you and me

🔺 A common mistake in spoken English is to say ‘between you and I’, as in this sentence:

❌ Don't say: It’s a tiny bit boring, between you and I.

✅ Say: It’s a tiny bit boring, between you and me.

🔺 In standard English, it’s grammatically correct to say ‘between you and me’ and incorrect to say ‘between you and I’.

🔺 The reason for this is that a preposition such as between should be followed by an objective pronoun (such as me, him, her, and us) rather than a subjective pronoun (such as I, he, she, and we).

Remember: the correct expression is ‘between you and me’

#common_mistakes

“TO” AFTER “ARRIVE”

Don’t say: We arrived to the station.
Don’t say: When will you arrive to Rome?

The correct sentences are:

◾️We arrived at the station.
◾️We got to the station.(more informal)
◾️When will you arrive in Rome?

“Get to” is an informal way to say “arrive”… but don’t use “to” with the previous exceptions:

◾️I got home at midnight.
◾️What time did you get there?
◾️The dog got outside again.
