日本人がよく間違える英語のクイズ

Japanese often incorrectly use article "a" in phrases such as 'have breakfast', 'have lunch', 'have dinner'. An article is only needed when lunch is modified, such as 'have a healthy lunch'.

Japanese incorrectly use 'go to + gerund' (ex. 'go to shopping', 'go to fishing') when they should be using 'go + gerund' ('go shopping', 'go swimming', 'go surfing', 'go fishing', etc.). Remember if you have the word 'go' followed by a gerund (-ing) do not use 'to'.

Japanese confuse 'almost all of my' and 'most of my' and incorrectly use a combination of the two 'almost my'. When using partitives, remember 'almost' must be followed by 'all of'.

Japanese often incorrectly put a possessive adjective in the phrase 'gain weight' or 'lose weight'. Here is an easy rule to remember. Do not put anything between the words 'lose/gain' and 'weight'.

Japanese mix up when to use the present participle and when to use the past participle (bored vs. boring, surprised vs. surprising, excited vs. exciting, etc.) Remember this; use 'I was + -ed' and 'It was + -ing' I was bored. It was boring
