Common mistakes Kesalahan umum

Kesalahan yang sering dibuat penutur bahasa Indonesia.

  • ✗ I will meet Budi tomorrow, we agreed last week.
    ✓ I'm meeting Budi tomorrow.

    Untuk rencana yang sudah disepakati, gunakan present continuous, bukan will.

  • ✗ Look at the clouds. It will rain.
    ✓ Look at the clouds. It's going to rain.

    Prediksi dari bukti yang terlihat memakai be going to.

  • ✗ I will to help you.
    ✓ I will help you.

    Setelah will jangan pakai to: langsung kata kerja dasar.

  • ✗ She will comes tomorrow.
    ✓ She will come tomorrow.

    Setelah will, kata kerja dasar tanpa -s: come.

  • ✗ We are going to meeting at five.
    ✓ We are going to meet at five.

    Setelah going to gunakan kata kerja dasar: meet.
