English-The common errors

1.First of all we need to know that 'English' itself is a language.When we ask someone 'What languages you know',we reply 'I speak English language'.This statement of reply is wrong,we must say 'I speak English' or rather any other language,for example,'I speak Hindi' or 'I am fluent in Marathi'.The degree of knowledge of a language depends on the skills-Spoken and Writtern skiils.Not everyone who knows the language know both the skills.

2.The Alphabet that contains the letters 'A-Z' in English,in itself a plural form,that is there is no 'Alphabets' in English,it is collectively called as 'Alphabet' only.People make mistake by saying 'There are 26 Alphabets in English Language',instead we must say,'There are 26 Alphabet in English'

3.Another common mistake people make is the word'grammer'.The actual right spelling is 'Grammar' and not 'Grammer'

4.Spoken English and writtern English differ.Generally Indian Languages are such that both the Spoken and the Writtern words are the same,but in English it differs.When speaking in English,we speak on one-to-one basis(with someone) and while writing in English we write on one-to-many basics;that is while writing it is for everyone to see and know.

5.In India,English is spoken with the influence of the various languages present.For example,Hindi speakers generally say 'This dish is very tasty,nai?'or'She looks good,na?'.Instead of using the word 'na' or 'nai',we can use the word "isn't it" or "isn't she".For example,'This dish is very tasty,isn't it?' or 'she is looking good,isn't she'
