DON’T MAKE These Most Common MISTAKES in English

[@linguamarina]

Do you make these common English mistakes? Time codes: 0:00 It's okay to make mistakes. 0:52 Do not say "Congratulations!" on somebody's birthday. 4:30 Do not say "I'll cook myself tonight." 5:38 PICK UP vs. PICK 6:25 SINCE vs. FOR 7:07 LOAN vs. BORROW 8:00 Do not say "My cousin is having three cats." 8:50 ME TOO vs. ME NEITHER 9:50 "What it looks like" or "How it looks like";

remembering practice: pick up means to lift something up while pick refers to choose, borrow refers to get something from someone with an intension to give it back while loan or lend refers to give something to someone with an intension to get it back, if we r sharing a negative quality with someone else exclaiming this quality then we will say me neither. On the other hand,if we share a positive quality with someone exclaiming that quality then we will have to say me too.

I really appreciate your channel! It seems you discuss important topics that non-native english speakers struggle with, so you hit the nail on the head very often haha. However, may I give you some regards? I think the correct term to describe giving something to someone and expecting to receive it back after some period would be "lend" instead of loan, because lend is an action, i.e. it's a verb, whereans loan is a noun. I know loan can be used as a verb as well, but technically it should not if you want to strictly follow grammatical rules.

[@junioranchundiamacias7603]

Hi Marina. I really love your videos, and I've learned a lot from them. On this minute 9:54, I think none of them are grammatically correct since we must always use do/does after the WH-word. Therefore, I think the correct one would be something like: What does it look like?

I have never heard "How it looks" that sounds like caveman talk. "How does it look?" And "What does it look like?" Have the same meaning, but are used in different context

@@tasic3921 thanks for your response mate.

[@khadidjabahmed2659]

The first one is a sentence but the second one it a question so basically it depends on the context and the position.

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

How it looks is incorrect because you need a subject (How does it look?). How does it look and What does it look like are different. What does it look like is used to ask for what something permanent looks like (a person, a house, an object, an animal), i.e. my. house is big and brown, and it has a brown front door and white shutters. How does it look is used to describe what something looks like that's temporary. For example, if you are painting a picture, you can ask "How does it look?" It looks beautiful! If you know someone is sick, you can ask, "How does she look?" She looks better or She looks tired. I hope that helps!

If you want to be extra proper it would be “what does it look like?” But honestly most would shorten it to “how’s it look?” Or “how’s it lookin’?” You’d only use “what it looks like?” in proper speaking if you wanted to clarify someone was asking you “what does it look like?” Because this question is asking for a comparison not a description as the reply To go further into it “how’s it look?” Is the equivalent of “how’s it going?” In some situations so be careful with that because “how’s it going?” Is often used as a hello or how are you but can also be answered with the status of a project or action since there was no specificity aside from “it”
