Common mistakes for Spanish speakers

Spanish speakers sometimes make small mistakes when talking about favorite things. Here are some common ones:

  • Missing “is” or “a/an”: In Spanish, you might say “Mi favorito coche” (My favorite car). In English, you need “is” and “a”: My favorite is a car. ou My favorite car is red.
  • Confusing “watch” (noun) and “watch” (verb): Remember, watch (noun) is the item on your wrist. Watch (verb) means to look at something, like I watch TV.
  • Using “the” instead of “a/an” for a general favorite: When you talk about a general favorite, use a ou an. For example, My favorite animal is a cat. (NOT My favorite animal is the cat.)
