Your "cousin." Sure.

Btw about the thread: I usually have difficulties using the past or how to structure the past sentences. People who talk to me a lot probably notice this.

And in mafia, I just write as fast as I can, so I probably make way more mistakes while playing lmao.

I just tend to pronounce things wrong (especially names).
I often use the Korean pronounciation, rather than the english pronounciation.

 

[infire707]

It's hard to explain cuz this broad but um, firstly HURTED IS NOT A WORD. : = a list or definition, ; = combination of two related independent clauses, - = : but it states the main point of the sentence and is used less often.

biggest mistakes that even native english speakers make:

you're = you are
your = something belongs to you

It should be "you're welcome" and not "your welcome"


it's = it is
its = something belongs to it

 

[mysteric]

lol but that is something... basic

Apparently not. I see it with my English teachers even. I just can’t come up with good examples. I think the most common form of it is when department stores put up signs with Men’s Pants or something.

That’s embarrassing tbh

Can you pleaseee give me tips and idk, things that not native english speakers may non know/don't understand? Or common mistakes you've seen /heard

To, Too, Two, Where, Wear, Their, There, Through, Tough, Thorough, Thought.

Also, in English word stressing is very important, I feel like non native speakers don't recongnize that emphesising a specific word in a sentence can change the whole meaning and tone of the sentence.

Enough to make my Grade 4 self almost year my hair out of frustration apparently

It's so weird how true this is and how we do that a lot without giving it much thought.

He should go to the store.
He should go to the store.
He should go to the sore.
He should go to the store.

All of these have different implications while being the exact same sentence

 

[Yseki]

Also if you know the syllables in each word it will help you on where to put the stresses in them so people can actually understand you better.

It will sound like you are slurring or talking really sloppy and unintelligent if you don't stress word syllables correctly.

Also word order is very important

"She told him that she loved him."

You can add the word only anywhere in this sentence but where you put it will change the meaning.

 

[Walnutt]

Also, please know that it's actually spelled "though."

We're all just really lazy and write "tho."
