Slavic Speakers' Top Errors: Articles, Prepositions, and Pronouns
Articles, Prepositions, and Pronouns: Common Errors
English grammar can be tricky, especially when your native language handles things differently. For example, in English, we say "depend on" (not "depend from") and use the pronoun "it" for inanimate objects like a toaster or a car, rather than "he" or "she." We also require articles for singular countable nouns and professions, meaning we say "I am a doctor" instead of "I am doctor."
This challenge tackles some of the most common stumbling blocks for English learners. You will practice choosing the correct prepositions for phrases like "waiting for" and "good at," selecting the right pronouns for weather and inanimate objects, and mastering articles for generalisations ("nature" vs. "the nature") and specific objects.
You'll work through 14 questions featuring quirky scenarios—from a dramatic smart fridge to a time-traveling tourist—in single-choice, multi-choice, drop-down, and drag-and-drop formats.
