Will Learning English Improve Your Career Opportunity?
If English is not your first language your Job opportunity will be limited. Maybe you have started a new job that is more challenging. After you gain more experience in your workplace and get promoted. You find a new hobby and need to get comfortable with all the new vocabulary. Perhaps you have been learning informally – on the job, or from friends – and you now realise that you need to learn how the grammar works and to be corrected when you make mistakes.
Listening is one of the main core skills. Why is listening so difficult? When somebody says something, you don’t understand, but when they write down what they said, you realise that you know all the words.

Check Your English Answer Below, Good Luck!
1. He speaks English very good – “good” is the wrong word. It is an adjective. We need an adverb as we are explaining how he speaks. The correct sentence is: He speaks English very well.
2. Yesterday, went he to the beach. The problem here is the word order. English usually follows subject-verb-object. ‘he’ is the subject and ‘went’ is the verb, so to be correct, the sentence should be: Yesterday, he went to the beach.
3. Because he drives a fast car. There are no mistakes here, but the problem is it is not a complete sentence. It is a phrase or fragment. It needs to be part of a larger sentence: He always arrives quickly, because he drives a fast car.
4. I came to Australia becase of my job. There is a spelling mistake in the word ‘because.’
5. My husband is an engineer, she works in Sydney. This kind of mistake is a problem with subject and pronoun agreement. In this case, the subject, ‘husband,’ should be ‘he.’ My husband is an engineer, he works in Sydney.
6. She went to city to see movie. Here, we are missing articles, the first one, ‘the’ is called a “definite article” and the second, ‘a’ (along with ‘an’) is known as an “indefinite article“. She went to the city to see a movie.

7. She has no sons but she has two daughters In this sentence we need punctuation; first a comma and then a full stop or period at the end of the sentence: She has no sons, but she has two daughters.
8. … and that was all we did that day. The next day we visited … In this example, the writer has joined two different thoughts or themes together when they should have been separated into different paragraphs:
9. Yesterday I bought a car, started it and drive home. This mistake was made when the writer, who chose the correct verb, chose the wrong verb tense (‘yesterday’ shows it happened in the past and the first two verbs used are past tense, but the third, ‘drive’ is present): Yesterday I bought a car, started it and drove home.
10. He comes to the house now. Again, the writer has chosen the correct verb; and this time the tense is correct (present), only it is the wrong form of the present. We are talking about ‘now,’ so we should choose the present continuous (also known as the present progressive): He is coming to the house now.
11. We have been Melbourne for ten years. Something is missing here. We need to insert a preposition of the place before ‘Melbourne’: We have been in Melbourne for ten years.
Learning English Is Fun When You Know The Secret
12. He owns three car and a motorbike. Here we have an error of singular/plural: He owns three cars and a motorbike.
14. Australia is a safely country. Although this was the correct word, ‘safely’ is not the correct form of the word. ‘Safely’ is an adverb, but the writer needed to use an adjective to explain what kind of country Australia is: Australia is a safe country.
13. When she visit me, she bring snacks. This problem is between the subject (‘she’) and the verb (‘bring’) not agreeing. (Be careful with this, sometimes the subject in the sentence may be a long way from the verb): When she visits me, she brings snacks.
15. You and me will not be going. This is a common mistake made in spoken English. The error is using an object pronoun (‘me’), when another subject pronoun (as ‘you’ is) should have been used: You and I will not be going.
A good way to check if you are correct is to try and say the sentence without the second person (the ‘you’). As we cannot say, ‘Me will not be going it must say, ‘I will not be going,’ then we can be certain that it is ‘you and I.’ This can get tricky, as sometimes we do want object pronouns,
For example: ‘This is just for you and me’ (remember, ‘you’ is the form for both subject and object second person pronouns). Again, try saying this without the second person pronoun: ‘This is just for me’ – this is correct, ‘This is just for I’ is incorrect.

16. My Brother will come on tuesday. There are two capitalisation problems in this sentence, ‘brother’ is capitalised and should not be (as it is a common noun), but Tuesday should be capitalised (proper noun).
17. They have lived here since one year. The mistake here is the use of the wrong preposition; ‘since’ is used before a point in time (for example, since last week, since 2012, since the day I was born), while ‘for’ is used for some time (for two days, for a thousand years, for the summer holidays): They have lived here for one year.
18. Most people are certain of that online English classes can help. Sometimes students may add extra words that have no purpose and make the sentence grammatically incorrect. Most people are certain that online English classes can help. (Perhaps in this example, the writer has seen many sentences that say, ‘are certain of,’ and may have thought that ‘of’ must always follow ‘certain.’)
