1. “I Am Agree” – Are You Agreeing with Yourself?
We all love saying “I am agree” because it feels right, but guess what? It’s not! In English, you only need to say “I agree.” No “am” needed—unless you’re talking about agreeing with someone else about the best biryani in town. 😆
Funny Example: I told my friend, “I am agree with your point.” She stared at me and said, “So you’re having an agreement ceremony or just agreeing on dinner?” I quickly said, “I agree, yaar! No ceremony needed!” 😂
2. “He Is My Friend Since 5 Years” – Time Travel, Anyone?
We’ve all said, “He is my friend since 5 years,” but this is a classic mistake. In English, you should say, “He has been my friend for 5 years.” “Since” is for a specific point in time (like 2020), while “for” is used for durations like hours, days, or years.
Funny Example: I told my friend, “He is my friend since 5 years.” She looked at me and said, “Are you traveling through time or is he still stuck in 2019?” I quickly fixed it: “He has been my friend for 5 years, yaar!” 😅
3. “I Will Meet You On Tomorrow” – A Date with Tomorrow?
Saying “I will meet you on tomorrow” might sound like you’re scheduling an appointment with the future, but the correct way is to say “I will meet you tomorrow.” No need to bring “on” to the party unless you’re planning to meet “on” the moon! 🚀
Funny Example: “I will meet you on tomorrow,” I said. My friend gave me a weird look and said, “Are you meeting tomorrow or going on a world tour?” I laughed and said, “No world tour, yaar, just tomorrow!”
4. “Can You Borrow Me Your Pen?” – Wait, What?
The classic mistake we all make: “Can you borrow me your pen?” You’re not the one borrowing—you’re the one being borrowed from! So it should be “Can you lend me your pen?”
Funny Example: I asked my friend, “Can you borrow me your pen?” She replied, “Wait, do you want to borrow my pen, or should I just give it to you as a gift?” I laughed and said, “I meant ‘lend,’ yaar!” 😆
5. “I Can’t Able To Do It” – Wait, Are You a Superhero?
When we try to explain that something is beyond our abilities, we say “I can’t able to do it,” but it’s more correct to say “I can’t do it” or “I’m not able to do it.” No need for extra superpowers, just keep it simple!
Funny Example: “I can’t able to do it,” I said while struggling with a task. My friend smirked and said, “Are you sure you’re not secretly wearing a cape?” I quickly corrected myself: “I’m not able to do it, yaar, without a cape!” 😂
6. “She Is More Beautiful Than Me” – But What About “I”?
We often say “She is more beautiful than me,” but in English, it’s grammatically correct to say, “She is more beautiful than I am.” You wouldn’t say “I am than her,” right? So let’s keep it grammatically neat!
Funny Example: I said, “She is more beautiful than me.” My friend raised an eyebrow and said, “So you’re telling me, you’re comparing yourself to a Bollywood actress?” I laughed and corrected myself: “She is more beautiful than I am, yaar!” 😜
7. “I Am Feeling Hungry” – Like You’re Just Feeling It?
We say “I am feeling hungry,” but in English, it’s simpler to say, “I’m hungry.” You don’t need to act like hunger is an emotion—unless you’re emotional about food! 🍔
Funny Example: I said, “I am feeling hungry.” My friend looked at me and said, “Are you going to cry about it or just eat?” I laughed and said, “I’m hungry, yaar, not emotional!” 😆
8. “I Have Seen That Movie Yesterday” – Time Travel Again?
Saying “I have seen that movie yesterday” sounds like you’re watching movies in a parallel universe. The correct way is to say “I saw that movie yesterday.” Past is past, no need for “have” in front!
Funny Example: I said, “I have seen that movie yesterday.” My friend grinned and said, “Wait, you watched it in the future or past?” I laughed and said, “I saw it yesterday, yaar! No time travel!” 😂
9. “I Was Doing My Work” – Is It a Job Interview?
We often say “I was doing my work” when we just mean that we were working, but English is a little more specific. In most cases, it should be simply, “I was working” or “I was doing some work.”
Funny Example: I said, “I was doing my work.” My friend looked at me and said, “Oh really? Were you preparing for the job interview?” I laughed and replied, “I was working, yaar, not job-hunting!” 😆
10. “I Am Going To Do It Tomorrow” – Is It a Promise or a Delayed Project?
Saying “I am going to do it tomorrow” sounds fine, but in most cases, it’s more accurate to say, “I will do it tomorrow.” It’s about your plan to act in the future, not your current path to doing it tomorrow.
Funny Example: I said, “I am going to do it tomorrow.” My friend gave me a side-eye and said, “So, tomorrow never comes?” I quickly fixed it: “I will do it tomorrow, yaar! No delay!”
