WRITING:SOME SERIOUS MISTAKES

Here you have the mistakes that have been made most often when writing:



1-Wrong use of "a": 

"a" means "un" or "una" in Spanish: please, do not use the word "a" in English as it meant "a" in Spanish.

This is very serious

Fui a Londres; REMEMBER: I went to London,
NOT: I went a London (!!!)  

Además, no siempre que en castellano se dice "a" hay que poner una preposición en inglés.

Por ejemplo: ver a alguien, matar a alguien: to see someone, to kill someone (no preposition)


2-No subject in the sentence: 

If there is a verb, in English (except for the imperative) you need to put a subject. If the sentence is impersonal, then write "it" as the subject.

REMEMBER: It is a good idea, 
NOT: is a good idea (!!!!)


3-Missing "S" in the third  person singular, present simple tense:

REMEMBER: she liveS in Glasgow,
NOT: she live in Glasgow.

4-Wrong use of possessive adjectives:  

Please make sure you remember how to use them. Do not use "your" in all cases. It means "tu...", no "su..."

REMEMBER: she wanted to talk to HER father,
NOT: she wanted to talk to your father (!!!)
