❌ Common Mistakes When Guests Visit
❌ “Please sit.” (too abrupt)
✅ “Please sit down.” / “Please have a seat.”
“Please sit” sounds like a command. “Please sit down” or “Please have a seat” is more polite and welcoming.
❌ “You take tea?” (Hindi structure)
✅ “Would you like some tea?” / “Can I get you some tea?”
“You take tea?” follows Hindi word order. In English, use “Would you like…” or “Can I get you…” for polite offers.
❌ “The children are so much grown.”
✅ “The children have grown so much!”
“Have grown” (present perfect) is correct — not “are grown.” The word “much” comes after “so”, not after “so much grown.”
❌ “When you came last time?”
✅ “When did you come last time?” / “When was the last time you visited?”
Questions need “did” + base verb: “When did you come?” — not “When you came?”
❌ “Please don’t take tension.”
✅ “Please don’t worry.” / “Don’t stress about it.”
“Take tension” is Indian English from “tension lena.” In standard English, say “don’t worry” or “relax.”
