Most grammar mistakes aren't random — they follow predictable patterns shaped by Urdu and Punjabi sentence structure. Recognising these patterns is the fastest way to correct them permanently.
Since Urdu doesn't use articles the same way, they're often dropped or misplaced. "I went to market" should be "I went to the market." Rule of thumb: use "the" for something specific or already mentioned, "a/an" for something general or first mentioned.
"He go to school" instead of "He goes to school." Third-person singular subjects (he, she, it) always take an -s/-es verb ending in the present simple tense. This is one of the most heavily penalised errors in IELTS and PTE Writing.
"I am living here since 2015" should be "I have been living here since 2015." Use present perfect for actions that started in the past and continue now; use past simple for actions that are fully finished.
Prepositions rarely translate directly. "Discuss about" should simply be "discuss" — the verb already implies "about." "Married with" should be "married to." These are best learned through fixed phrases, not rules.
Joining too many ideas with "and" or no punctuation at all confuses examiners and lowers your coherence score. Break long ideas into two sentences, or use a semicolon or a linking word like "however" or "therefore."
Fixing the same five mistakes consistently will raise your Writing and Speaking band more reliably than learning fifty new advanced words.
Awareness isn't enough — these errors need targeted correction with feedback. In our Grammar and Spoken English classes, students receive sentence-level correction on real writing samples, so mistakes are caught and corrected before they become permanent habits.
