1. Using Present Continuous for stative verbs

Incorrect: “I am knowing the answer.” Correct: “I know the answer.” (جاننا is stative)

2. Missing “s/es” with he/she/it

Incorrect: “She go to school.” Correct: “She goes to school.”

3. Using Present Perfect with past time markers

Incorrect: “I have seen him yesterday.” Correct: “I saw him yesterday.”

4. Confusing “since” and “for”

Since + point in time (since 2020), for + duration (for two hours).

5. Double negatives

Incorrect: “I didn’t see nothing.” Correct: “I didn’t see anything.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Practice daily, focus on one topic at a time, use our exercises, and listen to native English. Combine tenses with parts of speech for better understanding.

Present Perfect and Past Perfect are often confusing because Urdu uses one form for both. Practice with time markers (“already”, “yet”, “ever”, “never”).

Group them by pattern (sing-sang-sung, drink-drank-drunk). Use our vocabulary trainer with audio for practice.

No, Urdu doesn’t have direct equivalents. That’s why Urdu speakers often omit them. Practice: use “a/an” for singular non‑specific nouns, “the” for specific ones.
