Pass number three of non English expressions. Again we are going to continue this part about non English expressions you can see many English students make these kinds of mistakes, you must correct yourself this course is for you, you must prevent these mistakes in order to actually improve your English and not to not to get embarrassed. Okay? Number 17 pretend not make one selves that so don't say she makes herself that she knows. Because sometimes you think maybe in your native language and you make these kinds of mistakes, so say she pretends to know she pretends to know not she makes herself that she knows now this is not correct. In English.
Have A Dream not see a dream. Don't say I saw Rain. This is not correct. Don't say I saw strange rain last night. This is not good. Say I had a strange dream last night.
This is correct. I had a strange dream last night. Or I dreamt a strange dream last night. Number 19 smoke a cigarette that says run not to drink a cigarette. We don't drink a cigarette some students say so don't say he drinks too many cigarettes say he's mocks too many cigarettes. We smoke the cigarettes.
Okay, we don't eat them. We don't drink them. We smoke them. Number 20. make a mistake not do a mistake. Mistake always comes with the verb make. Okay?
So don't say I did one mistake in dictation. This is not correct. Say I made one mistake in dictation. So we make the mistakes. Number 21. Tell or speak the truth not say the truth.
Okay Don't say Fiona always says the truth say Fiona always tells the truth or if you don't always speak the truth we can also say tell a lie and not say a lie he told me a lie. Next one see or watch a game not to follow a game some students actually they say I follow this game, or I follow the game. This is not correct. Don't say did you follow the game say did you see or watch the game? So we always see or watch the game. Avoid saying to follow the lesson when you mean to attend the lesson.
This is another point that we must understand when we are communicating and speaking in English. Number 23 turn or we can say switch the light on or off, not open or shut the light. Come on this not correct, actually, because you think maybe sometimes in your native language you make these kinds of mistakes. Don't say please open the light or shut the lights. This is not correct, you should say, Please turn on or turn off the light. Okay, turn on Turn off the light.
Or Please switch on or switch off the lights. We light blow out or put out a lamb, a candle or a fire. Okay, we use these kinds of verbs. Don't use something else, something from your native language or from I don't know from other sources, we alight blow out or put out a lamp candle or fighter. Keep this in your mind. Give an example not bring an example.
We don't bring an example we always give an example. I see many students in my classes they say please can you bring an example this is not correct. So don't say Can you bring a better example? No, no no who should say can you give a better example? Can you give a better example this is a correct form when we speak about examples
