00:00oh my god my English test result let's check the grammar section my grammar is

00:07so good what failed what were my mistakes Oh simple mistakes let's learn

00:18grammar by looking at very common mistakes

00:23hello my name is Maddy from POC English and in this lesson we are going to look

00:31at five very common mistakes so let's begin with number one look at this

00:37sentence what is the problem in English some word pairs are always fixed and you

00:49have to respect the order you have to use them in the exact same order for

00:55example salt and pepper we always say salt and pepper salt and pepper nobody

01:03says pepper and salt it's always salt and pepper these are called binomial

01:09pairs which means a pair of words which are always fixed the order is fixed

01:15let's look at a few other examples bread and butter bread and butter it's

01:22not butter and bread bread and butter or knife and fork not fork and knife way

01:29around a knife and a fork or cup and saucer cup and saucer not saucer and cup

01:36or another one black and white black and white not white and black or one more

01:42thunder and lightning thunder and lightning now listen up you always have

01:49to respect the order and say salt and pepper but if you say pepper and salt if

01:56you use the opposite order it's not wrong people will understand what you're

02:01talking about pepper and salt huh what no that's pepper and salt okay but it

02:06sounds weird it sounds not natural so let's take a look again at this sentence

02:12could I have some butter and bread what's the mistake could I have some

02:18bread and butter excellent common mistake number two look at this sentence

02:24what's wrong with it he doesn't smoke and drink what question look at the verb

02:35is it positive or negative it's negative right he doesn't smoke when you

02:43have a negative verb and you want to talk about two things use or not and for

02:49example we weren't comfortable or happy we weren't it's a negative sentence we

02:56weren't comfortable or happy not comfortable and happy but if it's a

03:01positive sentence go with and we were comfortable and happy so for a negative

03:07verb use or for a positive verb use and now let's look again at this sentence he

03:14doesn't smoke and drink he doesn't smoke or drink Bravo here is a longer sentence

03:23the project wasn't successful in economic terms and in political terms

03:29what's wrong with this sentence similar to the previous one the verb here is

03:39negative it wasn't successful so instead of and you should say or the project

03:46wasn't successful in economic terms or in political terms but there is one more

03:53thing I want to talk about regarding this sentence one use of conjunctions

03:58such as and and or is to avoid repetition and make simpler and more

04:04clear sentence structures look at the sentence again in economic terms or in

04:11political terms in terms has been repeated two times so instead of

04:18repeating it twice I can make the sentence shorter in this way the project

04:23wasn't successful in economic or political terms so two points avoid

04:29repetition using conjunctions and or use and for positive verbs or for negative

04:36verbs when you were talking about two things common mistake number four look

04:40at this sentence what's wrong with it

04:46both he can borrow the bike and he can use the car what's wrong now listen

04:57carefully because I am going to tell you everything you need to know about the

05:01word both we use both in balanced structures what balance structures what

05:09is it well both beep and beep now a balanced structure would have a both

05:17noun and noun for example I spoke to both the director and the secretary I

05:25spoke to both the director and the secretary the director is a noun the

05:33secretary is a noun so this is a balanced structure two nouns both noun

05:39and noun you can also say both verb and verb for example she both dances and

05:47sings she both dances and sings dances verb sings verb both verb and verb this

05:56is a balanced structure or you can also say both adjective and adjective for

06:02example she is both pretty and clever she is both pretty and clever pretty is

06:11an adjective clever is an adjective both adjective and adjective again this is a

06:16balanced structure so if you have a balanced structure use both what about

06:22unbalanced structures like both noun and verb both adjective and noun what about

06:28those well those are also common but some people avoid using them therefore

06:34it is not wrong for example she both dances and she sings she both dances and

06:42she sings both dances dance is a verb right and she sings it's not a verb this

06:50is a full sentence it is a full clause so it's okay you can use it but a very

06:57important but you cannot use both before a full clause look at this sentence both

07:05she dances and she sings both she dances both plus a full clause both she dances

07:15this is wrong you cannot use both before a full clause you can use it before an

07:19adjective before a verb before a noun but not before a full clause now let's

07:25have another look at this sentence what is wrong with it both he can borrow the

07:31bike and he can use the car both he can borrow both before a full clause no no

07:37no no no you can say he can both borrow the bike and use the car that is correct

07:46and common mistake number five the last common mistake before getting to the

07:51last common mistake do you want to have the full list of these common mistakes

08:26and common mistake number five look at this sentence although she was tired but

08:32she went to work what's wrong with it in this sentence there is a but and there

08:42is an although but and although are conjunctions they link two sentences

08:49together but the point is you should only use one of them in a sentence not

08:54two of them together no no no no no so you should use either of the two although

09:00she was tired she went to work she was tired but she went to work not together

09:07you don't say although she was tired but she went to work only one of them now

09:12I've got a challenge for you look at this sentence because I liked him so I

09:19try to help him listen carefully because I liked him so I tried to help him two
