50 ERRORI/ORRORI COMUNI DEGLI STUDENTI
Secondo una statistica fatta dagli esaminatori del Cambridge, che esaminano studenti da tutto il mondo per il rilascio degli attestati di lingua, si é scoperto che gli studenti che sostengono l’esame sono riusciti a trovare piú di 237 modi per scrivere la parola “because”! Ma non solo, nello specifico gli studenti Italiani nello specifico confondono molto spesso il verso “to miss” con “to lose” o “to waste”, che hanno in realtá 3 significati ben distinti.
Altri errori comuni sono:
–Its confuso con it is
–Shade al posto di shadow –
–Good invece che well.
–Enquiry e inquiry…
Da veri italiani, sbagliamo spesso e volentieri a scrivere anche la parola coffee, con una sola “e”.
La parola business, poi, é un’altra che fa scervellare tutti, facile da pronunciare ma veramente difficile da scrivere. Imbrogliati dalla pronuncia, “business” viene scritta in diversi modi come “ bussines” o “biussiness”; ma anche la parola address non scherza, gli errori più comuni sono: la sottrazione delle lettere “s” o “d”.
Ma se c’é qualcosa che gli studenti trovano veramente difficile da imparare, sono quelle due o tre lettere da mettere prima di un nome, meglio conosciute come preposizioni. In inglese non esistono moltissime e vengono usate tutte per significati diversi, com’é giusto che sia, per esempio:
- Let’s meet at the restaurant – Vediamoci al ristorante;
- Let’s meet on the street – Vediamoci in strada;
- Let’s meet in my house – Vediacomi a casa mia;
Un altro errore comune é l’uso incorretto dell’articolo “the” quando non é assolutamente necessario. Esempio:
“The people like the music” é assolutamente sbagliata, la frase corretta sarebbe “People like music”.
“It´s time to go to the bed“ anche qui il suo uso é sbagliato in quanto bisogna dire “It’s time to go to bed”.
Ti mostriamo una lista con i 50 errori piú comuni dagli studenti che speriamo ti aiuti a migliorare ed evitare di sbagliare ancora. Sulla dentro troverai in rosso la frase sbagliata, a sinistra, invece, troverai scritto in verde la frase corretta.
