❌ Common Mistakes Indians Make
❌ "This food is too much salty."
✅ "This food is too salty."
"Too" alone before adjectives. No "much" needed.
❌ "The food is tasting good."
✅ "The food tastes good."
"Taste" is a stative verb — use simple present, not continuous.
❌ "It is smelling very nice."
✅ "It smells very nice."
"Smell" as a stative verb uses simple present. Not "is smelling".
❌ "This curry is very delicious."
✅ "This curry is delicious."
"Delicious" is already a strong word. No need for "very" — or say "absolutely delicious".
❌ "I like more sweet food."
✅ "I prefer sweet food." / "I like sweeter food."
Use "prefer" or comparative "sweeter", not "more sweet".
