%20%20bd.png "“Daily English Sentence Corrections – Episode 3 (Telugu)”")
Welcome to Episode 3 of the Shaktimatha 369 English Learning Series!
Today we will correct more common mistakes that learners make in speaking and writing English.
1. Wrong Use of “Very Much”
❌ Wrong: I am liking it very much.
✔️ Correct: I like it very much.
Rule: verbs like like, love, hate, want, need never use “am/is/are + ing” for general feelings.
More examples:
❌ I am wanting a pen. → ✔️ I want a pen.
❌ She is loving chocolates. → ✔️ She loves chocolates.
2. Wrong Order of Words
❌ Wrong: He quickly speaks English.
✔️ Correct: He speaks English quickly.
Rule: Adverbs (quickly, slowly, clearly) usually come after the verb.
More examples:
❌ She beautifully sings. → ✔️ She sings beautifully.
❌ They correctly answered. → ✔️ They answered correctly.
3. Mistake with “Used to”
❌ Wrong: I am used to play cricket.
✔️ Correct: I am used to playing cricket.
Explanation:
Used to + verb = past habit (I used to play).
Am/is/are used to + noun/verb+ing = comfortable with something.
Examples:
✔️ I used to live in Delhi. (past habit)
✔️ I am used to waking up early. (comfortable now)
4. Incorrect Negative Form
❌ Wrong: He no came.
✔️ Correct: He didn’t come.
Rule: After didn't → always use base form (come, go, eat).
More examples:
❌ She didn’t went. → ✔️ She didn’t go.
❌ I didn’t saw. → ✔️ I didn’t see.
5. Wrong Article Usage (a / an)
❌ Wrong: He is an honest man.
✔️ Correct: He is an honest man. (this is correct)
Rule: Use an before vowel sound, not vowel letter.
More examples:
✔️ an hour (because “hour” sounds like “our”)
✔️ an MBA (because pronounced “em-B-A”)
6. Confusion Between “Few” and “A Few”
❌ Wrong: I have few friends. (negative meaning)
✔️ Correct: I have a few friends. (some friends)
Rule:
few = almost none
a few = some
7. Common Daily Corrections
✔️ I will call you later. (not "after")
✔️ I can’t hear you properly. (not “clearly”)
✔️ Please keep quiet. (not “silent”)
✔️ It is not my mistake. (not “wrong of mine”)
✔️ Don’t waste my time. (not “time waste”)
✔️ I reached home safely. (not “safe”)
✔️ He is on leave today. (not “on leaveing”)
