❌ Common Mistakes Indians Make
❌ "My house is in second floor."
✅ "My house is on the second floor."
Use "on" with floors: "on the first floor", "on the second floor". Not "in".
❌ "There is a park near of my house."
✅ "There is a park near my house."
"Near" doesn’t need "of". Just say "near my house".
❌ "The watchman uncle is guarding."
✅ "The watchman guards our building."
Simple present is better for regular duties. No need for "uncle" in English.
❌ "Our colony is very much clean."
✅ "Our colony is very clean."
"Very" alone before adjectives. No "much" needed.
❌ "I know all peoples in my building."
✅ "I know all the people in my building."
"People" is already plural. No ‘s’ needed. Also add "the".
