Chapter 1. Common Mistakes in English

Mistakes to look out for and what to say instead:

1. Using "I'm good" instead of "I'm well" - This is a common mistake that many people make. When someone asks you how you are, the correct response is "I'm well," not "I'm good." "I'm good" means that you are good at something, like playing basketball or baking cookies.

2. Saying "less" instead of "fewer" - Use "less" when you're talking about something that can't be counted, like water or rice. Use "fewer" when you're talking about something that can be counted, like apples or books.
