Common mistakes for Spanish speakers

For Spanish speakers, a common point to remember is the difference between singular and plural forms. In English, many plural forms add an -s, but some words are irregular.

  • Correct: one hand, two hands
  • Correct: one eye, two eyes
  • But be careful with: one foot, two feet (not two ‘foots’)

Also, remember to use articles like a oder an for singular nouns, or possessive adjectives like my, your.

  • Correct: I have a nose.
  • Correct: This is my arm.

You can point to your own body parts and say their English names. Use flashcards with pictures. Try to describe people you see using the new words, like She has blue eyes.
