Common Errors in IELTS

Common Error #1

Doesn’t/Don’t or Weren’t/Was

Many people make mistakes with doesn’t/don’t(contractions of does not or do not). Doesn’t is singular and don’t is plural. Whenever you get confused, use the whole word and you will understand better.

Singular:
He doesn’t
He wasn’t
Plural:
They don’t
They weren’t

Common Error #2

Phrases that follow the subject

Take a look at these examples and understand how many people get confuse by the phrase that follows the subject and use the wrong verb.

Example:

The posters pasted on the wall were colourful
Actor, along with his two security guards, leaves for the day./Two Actors, along with their security guards, leave for the day

🙂How to Use Lay and Lie

🧐What to Know

🧾 Lay means "to place something down flat" while lie means "to be in a flat position on a surface." The key difference is that "lay" is transitive and requires an object to act upon, and "lie" is intransitive, describing something moving on its own or already in position. Beyond the present tense it can become confusing as "lay" is the past tense of "lie," and "laid" is the past tense of "lay."

⁉️Did you catch that?
For lay, we have lay, laid, have laid, laying;
for lie, we have lie, lay, have lain, lying.

☝️And then there's the unrelated verb meaning "to tell an untruth." That lie goes lie, lied, have lied, lying.

@ingliztiliuzz

Center or Centre

Center and centre have the same meaning. Center is the correct spelling in American English, but British English writers usually prefer centre. Notice that center (and centre) can be a noun, adjective, or a verb.

​​Do you know?

The rainbow is a circle.

In theory, every rainbow is a circle, but from the ground, usually only its upper half can be seen.

Dived or Dove?

☝️ The words dived and dove are interchangeable as a past tense and past participle of the verb dive. Both verb inflections are used in American and British English; however, dove is an Americanism, and thus tends to be used more in American English.

By the time most native speakers of English are adults, they've got irregular verb inflections down. Give/gave/given, bring/brought/brought, take/took/taken, dive...hmm.

Some would say dive/dived/dived, and some would say dive/dove/dived.

Who's right? Both of them.

@ingliztiliuzz

Both of you or You both

Both of them are correct. So you can use both of them; that's right, you can use them both!

Here's how it goes:

You both will get candy. (you is a subject personal pronoun with both as an appositive*)

Both of you will get candy. (both is a subject indefinite pronoun with of you as an of-appositive**)

I will give candy to you both. (you is an object personal pronoun with both as an appositive)

I will give candy to both of you. (both is an object indefinite pronoun with of you as an of-appositive)

#ielts_tips

✔️✔️ Accept and agree

🔺 Before an infinitive, use ‘agree’, not ‘accept’.

▪️ She agreed to come. (NOT She accepted to come.)

🔺 You cannot put a that-clause immediately after agree or disagree. For example, you cannot write ‘I agree that smoking should be banned.’ Instead, you have to write ‘I agree with the view / opinion / argument that smoking should be banned’.

Examples:

▪️I disagree with your opinion that cars should not be allowed in city centres.

▪️Do you agree with the statement that education should be free for all?
