Be honest.

Do you make mistakes like these?

There's a surprise in the end of the film.

I'm again unemployed.

The reason?

Because.

And I should have studied earlier.

What about yes?

I like.

So these are five very common mistakes in English.

In this video we're going to look at how to correct them

and i want to let you know

that some of these mistakes are more commonly made by native

speakers first though i have something that's really going to help

you i need to tell you about something incredible i have

created a brand new completely free ebook it changes everything 35 common mistakes english learners make

and how to fix them this powerful ebook will help you fix some of the most common errors English learners make immediately.

Inside, you will find everything from today's lesson,

plus 30 more mistakes that my teaching team and I have seen again and again.

And yes, for now, I'm offering it to you for free.

Just sign up to my mailing list using the link in the description or scan the QR code now.

I'll send it straight to your inbox.

It's genuinely one of the best resources I've ever created and I can't wait for you to see it.

Okay, let's begin for our first common mistake.

We're looking at in the end versus at the end.

Even higher level learners confuse these phrases and why wouldn't you?

It's just a tiny change of preposition, just two letters.

So which one do we need to complete this sentence?

In or at?

The end.

We decided to stay at home.

It should be in the end,

meaning finally or eventually, usually after a period of time, thought or difficulty.

Now this is a fixed idiomatic phrase referring to the final result or decision.

It's not used to talk about the literal or metaphorical end of something like a road or a a film.

Let's see two more examples.

In the end, we decided to move to London,

after a long time thinking about it.

Or, it was difficult, but in the end, everything worked out.

Finally, after some problems.

Now, at the end refers to the final point in time or space of something specific.

It's more literal than in the end.

It can be followed by of plus a noun.

So if we go back to the sentence in the introduction,

we now know that it should be,

there's a surprise at the end of the film, not in the end.

A couple more examples.

I'm always tired at the end of the week.

On Fridays, for example.

Or the station is at the end of this road.

Okay, mistake number two.

Try to correct this sentence.

I am again unemployed.

It should be, I'm unemployed again.

So we tend to place again at the end of a clause,

not in the middle.

This might be different to your first language.

In these examples, it means one more time.

For example, can you start the video again, please?

Or, we won't see each other again.

Now you'll sometimes see again before the main verb.

This is more formal than placing again at the end and is done for emphasis.

For even greater emphasis, we can add yet.

Yet again.

She yet again changed the project brief.

Now again and yet again can also appear at the beginning for emphasis.

Yet again, the train was delayed.

But we don't place it before an adjective,

so I'm again tired is not correct.

It's tricky to get this right,

but if you're in doubt,

placing again after the clause is a safe bet as it's the most common neutral option.

Don't worry if this doesn't seem totally clear.

We go into more detail and there are more examples in the ebook.

Okay, mistake number three is one of the mistakes I've heard most over the years.

Do you like coffee?

Yes, I like.

Now unfortunately that is not how we make short answers.

We will understand you if you say this,

it's not a communication issue,

but if we want to be grammatically correct we should say, yes, I do.

When replying to short questions we make yes or no short answers with an auxiliary verb,

the same one that's in the question,

not with the main verb.

Did they enjoy the party?

Yes, they did.

Not, yes, they enjoyed.

Has he visited Liverpool before?

No, he hasn't.

Not, no, he hasn't visited.

Now, you can give a full answer if you want to,

but this is less common in natural speech.

To like is a transitive verb,

so it needs an object.

Do you like coffee?

Yes, I like it.

Or, yes, I like coffee.

It's more common to use the pronoun rather than the noun to avoid repetition.

100

You can also just say,

101

yes, which makes things much easier.

102

But never, yes I like.

103

Sometimes intransitive verbs can be used alone in replies.

104

Did he laugh?

105

Yes, he laughed.

106

We usually only say this for emphasis.

107

For example, oh, he laughed,

108

as in he laughed a lot.

109

Generally, it's more natural to say, yes, he did.

110

Now, this is something that trips even advanced learners up.

111

So don't worry if still make this mistake.

112

Okay, mistake number four, try to correct this sentence.

113

That's the reason because I left.

114

Now, the easiest way is to simply remove because.

115

That's the reason I left.

116

You could also replace because with that or why,

117

but we don't say the reason because I did something.

118

So one way to use reason correctly is by following it with why or that plus a clause.

119

That's the reason why we cancelled the trip.

120

In informal English you can omit why or that.

121

The reason she left early was to get to her flight,

122

not the reason because she left or was because to get her flight.

123

There are lots of other structures we can use after reason,

124

but it's this particular one that my students make mistakes with.

125

Because is used as a conjunction to join two clauses showing cause and effect.

126

She left early because she needed to get her flight.

127

Try to use the weak form when because appears as part of a sentence.

128

Because, because with a schwa in the second syllable.

129

Not because.

130

You can say it, but because sounds more natural.

131

You'll often see because of followed by a noun.

132

We cancelled the trip because of the weather.

133

Okay, we're on to our final mistakes.

134

Students and native speakers, listen up.

135

Which word is contracted here?

136

I should have studied harder.

137

Is it should of or should have?

138

It's I should have studied harder,

139

not I should of studied harder.

140

Now, I think people use of because when have is contracted after a consonant sound,

141

it sounds the same as the weak form of of.

142

Have contracted.

143

Of, of contracted.

144

Of.

145

Should have, should've.

146

Would have, would've.

147

Could have, could've.

148

That of sound tricks our brain into thinking it's of and people make the mistake of saying it or writing it.

149

In fast speech we often use the informal contractions shoulda,

150

woulda and coulda which don't sound like they contain have either.

151

So the structure to form a clause with a past modal is modal verb plus have plus past participle.

152

I should have called her.

153

But in speech we tend to use contractions.

154

I should have called her.

155

This makes your English sound more natural than if you use the full form.

156

They would have bought it if it had been cheaper.

157

You could have been hurt.

158

We also use the same structure with other modal verbs like must and might.

159

I hear must of and might of but again, they're not correct.

160

She must have already gone home.

161

The dog might have eaten it.

162

Okay, are you ready to test what you've learnt?

163

I've got a short quiz for you.

164

Complete the gaps with one word from the video lesson to form a structure we've looked at today.

165

Here are the sentences.

166

One.

167

The reason they're upset is the sudden change in plans.

168

Two.

169

What happened?

170

The end of the film.

171

I fell asleep.

172

Three.

173

Do you like pancakes?

174

Yes, I...

175

Four.

176

You should.. gone to the doctor.

177

And five.

178

I can't believe he's late for work.

179

That's the third time this week.

180

I'll give you five seconds,

181

but pause if you need more time.

182

Okay, in number one, we can have that or why,

183

or we could just leave it blank.

184

We can't use because it doesn't join two clauses.

185

Two should be at the end,

186

the literal end point of the film.

187

Three, yes, I do.

188

Not yes, I like, which is grammatically incorrect.

189

Four, you should have gone or you should have gone,

190

not should of, which sounds the same in the short form but isn't correct.

191

And number five should be again.

192

He's late for work again,

193

with again placed naturally at the end.

194

So let me know your score out of five in the comments

195
