❌ Common Mistakes Indians Make
❌ "Give me one pen." (too direct)
✅ "Can I have one pen, please?"
Always use "Can I have…" with "please" — it’s polite English for shops.
❌ "How much it costs?"
✅ "How much does it cost?"
In questions, add "does" before the subject: "How much does this cost?"
❌ "I want to buy a eraser."
✅ "I want to buy an eraser."
Use "an" before vowel sounds. Eraser starts with ‘e’ → "an eraser".
❌ "I need notebook of 200 pages."
✅ "I need a notebook with 200 pages."
Use "with" not "of" when describing features.
❌ "This pen is not writing."
✅ "This pen doesn’t work." / "This pen isn’t writing properly."
"Doesn’t work" is more natural for broken items.
