1. Adding “-s” for Third-Person Singular:
A frequent error is forgetting to add “-s” or “-es” for he, she, or it in positive sentences.
“He play soccer.”(Wrong)- Correct: “He plays soccer.”
2. Using the Wrong Verb Form in Negative Sentences:
When forming negatives, learners sometimes mistakenly add “-s” to the verb.
“She doesn’t plays.”(Wrong)- Correct: “She doesn’t play.”
3. Forgetting “Do” or “Does” in Questions:
In questions, it’s common to forget “do” or “does” before the subject.
“You play soccer?”(Wrong)- Correct: “Do you play soccer?”
By mastering these rules, you’ll ensure your sentences are always correct and easy to understand.
