السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

I have read this topic

This activity lists some of the the most common mistakes in English usage

-1

I was very boring at the party. >>>. wrong

correction

I was very bored at the party.

-ed words describe your feelings, -ing words describe how
things / people appear.

E.g. The lecture was very interesting, I was very interested in it.

2-
Almost Japanese people like sushi >>> wrong.

correction

Most Japanese people like sushi. OR Almost all Japanese people like sushi.

Almost means very nearly. E.g. I almost missed my plane,
but I got on just as the stewardess was closing the door.

3-
I had the lunch with my boss today >>> wrong

correction

I had lunch with my boss today.

No article (a, an, the) is used to talk about meals.

i didn't know the reasons or rather i should say..

i always feel what is right and what is wrong

but it is so hard to explain how or why ...

thank you dear...

waiting for more..

4-

I'd rather playing tennis than watching TV. >>> wrong

correction

I'd rather play tennis than watch TV.

I prefer playing tennis to watching tv.

Be sure to use the correct verb forms with would rather
and prefer.

5-

Bill Gates is very rich. He has much money.>>>> wrong

correction

Bill Gates is very rich. He has a lot of money.

Use much in questions, do you have much money?;
and negatives, I don't have much money.
In positive sentences we say a lot.

6-

Sorry, I can't come to your party, I'll visit my parents on Saturday. >>> wrong

corrictiom

Sorry, I can't come to your party, I'm going to visit my parents on Saturday

Sorry, I can't come to your party, I'm visiting my parents on Saturday.

Going to or present continuous is better here because your
visit to your parents is planned.

تَنْثُرُ الكَونَ عِطرا

this is a very interesting and useful thread you have started

i ask Allah to bless you and give you the strength to continue

i think mistakes are made basically due to the lack of knowledge of grammar..

including the forms of words and tenses of verbs etc..

i know so many people who find it difficult not to make these errors

thank you dear

we are greedy for more..

Can I lend your dictionary >>> wrong?

correction

Can I borrow your dictionary?

Can you lend me your dictionary?

The owner of an item can lend it to other people.
When s/he does, the other person borrows it.

8-

How was your holiday?
It was very fun >>> wrong.

correction

How was your holiday?

It was a lot of fun.
OR It was great fun.

Fun is a noun so cannot be used with very.

9-

London is a very safety city>>> wrong

correction

London is a very safe city.

Safety is a noun, its adjective is safe..
