1. Using "the" instead of "my/your" with body parts:
In Spanish, you often use "la" or "el" (the) with body parts. But in English, we usually use possessive adjectives like my, your, his, her.
- Wrong: I hurt the hand.
- Right: I hurt my hand.
- Wrong: The head hurts.
- Right: My head hurts.
2. Forgetting irregular plural forms:
Most body parts add -s for plural (e.g., hand se convierte en hands). But some are irregular.
