Today is the day of hit parades.
The word 'hit parade' has two meanings:
1. a listing of popular songs ranked according to their popularity.
2. any listing of popular or favorite persons or things.
And we usually use this word when we talk about music. But I want to talk with you about funny English mistakes that we all often make even without paying attention to ( and even native speakers make them:) )
So let's create our own hit parade of funny English mistakes!;)
This list can be endless. And I'm pretty sure that you can find even more mistakes in the Internet. As we can see all these mistakes have different reasons of being made - some of them are made because of bad spelling, some are made because of bad grammar knowledge and, of course, don't forget about the mistakes that we make by chanсe, so called typos.
But always remember
And if to be serious pay attention to your language skills and develop them with the help of special training exercises
Here is the list of common students' mistakes
