English A1 Common Mistakes #026
Topic: Small corrections for daily English sentences
Lesson overview:
Today we review a few very common A1 mistakes and learn how to say daily habits more naturally. This lesson continues the course from simple daily words and short sentences. We will use a little review from earlier lessons:
- hello / neighbor / morning / afternoon / evening
- this / that
- drink / water / tea / want / for
New focus:
- always
- usually
- sometimes
- everyday
- habit
These words help you talk about repeated actions and normal daily life.
Word list with readings:
1) always — AWL-weez — every time; all the time
2) usually — YOO-zhoo-uh-lee — most times; often
3) sometimes — SUM-tymz — at some times; not always
4) everyday — EV-ree-day — daily; normal for each day
5) habit — HAB-it — a repeated action
Usage notes:
- always = 100% of the time
- usually = most of the time
- sometimes = only at some times
- everyday = something normal in daily life
- habit = something a person does again and again
