ENGLISH GRAMMAR: COMMON ERRORS AND STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTION

Abstract

Grammar is a fundamental component of language proficiency, and 
mastering it is essential for effective communication in English. Despite this, learners 
frequently make common grammatical errors that hinder comprehension and fluency. 
This study explores the most frequent grammatical mistakes made by English learners 
and identifies practical strategies to prevent them. A qualitative approach was 
employed, including literature review and classroom observations. Findings indicate 
that errors in verb tense, subject-verb agreement, articles, and prepositions are the most 
widespread. Effective interventions, including targeted practice, corrective feedback, 
and explicit grammar instruction, significantly reduce these errors. The study 
highlights the importance of systematic grammar teaching and learner awareness in 
promoting accurate and confident language use.
