5 ways to improve your English immediately

Here's a list of very common mistakes, and the explanations about how you can correct them!

1. "Agree" is a verb. You can say "I agree" or "I don't agree". 

Very often, I hear people say "I am agree". This is not correct!
You can use "I am..." to give your name, or age, but not for agreement!

I have certainly met a lot of people called Agree, it seems to be a popular name here!

2. People or person?

It's really very simple! "People" is plural and "person" is singular.
So we say "1 person" but "2 people".

3. Answer
​
Use "answer + something", for example:
I answer the phone; she answers the question; he answers the email....
Remember, we never use "to" after the verb "answer"

4. Present or introduce?

You can present a slide, a document, or some figures, or tables, but not a person!

For a person, use "introduce"! For example:
Hello Sarah, I'd like to introduce you to Catherine.

You can also introduce yourself: 
Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is......

5. Propose or suggest?

​Well, just take a look at the picture on the left!
The man is proposing to the woman.
That's great news for them, but are you sure you want to propose to your colleague in the office?

Think twice before you say "I want to propose to you ....."
​
Generally speaking, and to be on the safe side,  use the verb "suggest". 

Also, bigamy is illegal, and all these proposals might get you into trouble!

Of course, not everybody makes the same mistakes, but these are examples of vocabulary and sentences that I hear everyday.
