Common mistake I a/an (am)
Common Mistakes in English Grammar
Mistake: Using 'I a/an' instead of 'I am'
One of the most common mistakes in English grammar is using 'I a' or 'I an' instead of 'I am'. For example:
- Incorrect: I a student.
- Incorrect: I an engineer.
- Correct: I am a student.
- Correct: I am an engineer.
Always remember that the correct form is 'I am' when referring to yourself.
Mistake: Confusing 'am' with 'can'
Another mistake is confusing 'am' (the first person form of 'to be') with 'can'. For example:
- Incorrect: Did you mean I can a doctor?
- Incorrect: Did you mean I can from London?
- Correct: Did you mean I am a doctor?
- Correct: Did you mean I am from London?
Make sure to use 'am' when talking about your profession or place of origin, instead of 'can'.
