❌ Common Mistakes Indians Make
❌ "Give me menu."
✅ "Can I see the menu, please?"
"Give me" is rude in English. Use "Can I see…" or "May I have…" with "please".
❌ "The food is very much tasty."
✅ "The food is very tasty."
"Very" alone is enough with adjectives. No "much" needed.
❌ "I want bill."
✅ "Can we have the bill, please?"
Use "Can we have" + "please" for polite requests. Add "the" before "bill".
❌ "Make food less spicy."
✅ "Can you make it less spicy, please?"
Frame as a request with "Can you…" and "please", not a command.
❌ "We are four people."
✅ "We are a party of four." / "A table for four, please."
In restaurants, say "table for four" — more natural than "we are four people".
