So happy that you, too, are holding the line on LESS and FEWER. It seems no one is using FEWER any more; mistakes abound in print and video.

Another great video, Greg! I am a native speaker and a retired teacher and these are some of my pet hates as well. The one that gets me most is people who say "different to" instead of "different from" and coming a close second is using the wrong participle especially when talking about phonecalls. I've heard even fellow teachers say e.g. "My mother told me that you had RANG last night" and a very common one "He was SAT at his desk" If you haven't made a video that refers to these, would you consider a "Mistakes made by native speakers 2"?

Greg, I have extremely enjoyed this video, which gave me the impulse to visit several others of yours, and after that observation, I can say, without fear of being excessive, that yours is outstanding. After more than half a century of studying your language, practicing it, working with it, reading countless books, living in New York for a long time, visiting your country on several occasions and I still feel helpless when interacting with ordinary people, particularly due to the linking of words when speaking that unsettles the active neuron that I am left with. But if the opportunity that life gives me is to have that same interaction with cultured people, ah! such a situation of helplessness becomes an incomparable enjoyment.

Your lessons are highly appreciated Greg! 🙏 I've heard many times Brits do all these mistakes and always assumed it was kind of local slang or something. As for me, I found only one mistake I do from this list of yours, it's when I use "less" whereas I should use "fewer" instead 🤝

Greg Thank you so much for the tips. I'm not native but I love English laguage and I'm always trying to learn it better. I usually teach my friends about some of these mistakes, but they don't seem to believe me that much because I'm not native (You know it's easier to believe that a native speaker always knows more about his own language)! But now I have found someone who is native saying the same things I say. That's Awesome!!!

You have missed English (U.K.) native speakers who are incapable of conjugating the verb "to be". When I was teaching I had problems where a number of L2 students acquired this habit outside the classroom. Unfortunately when a student repeatedly butchers an E1 level marker in an E3 S&L exam you have little room for manoeuvre.

A trick that helps me with the “ I vs Me” mistake is to replace them with “we/us” . If “we” sounds better then it is “I” and if “us” sounds better then it is “me”. Examples: This is for you and me = this is for us. You and I are going to the party = we are going to the party, etc

Maybe the grammatically correct reply to "How are you doing" is "I'm doing well" but to me it doesn't sound right; my reply would be "I'm well thanks". Don't get me started about "he dove into the pool"!
