10 English Grammar Mistakes that are Accepted in Casual Speech
There is a difference between how people *should* speak and how they *actually* speak. Language is democratic. This means that the community of people who speak a language ultimately decide which words and structures are accepted in that language. Let me be clear: YOU SHOULD ALWAYS STRIVE TO USE CORRECT GRAMMAR, especially in formal situations such as work reports, emails, and academic essays. However, in casual, everyday situations, almost everyone makes mistakes. And I don’t just mean people who are learning a new language – I mean people who speak that language as their first language. In the case of English, there are many grammatical mistakes which people make, but which are accepted in informal situations. I look at those mistakes in this video, including the technically incorrect usage of “there is” instead of “there are”, “lay” instead of “lie”, “less” instead of “fewer”, “me” instead of “I”, and more. Watch this class to learn the correct usage in all of these cases, and to learn how many people actually speak in casual settings. Test your own grammatical understanding by doing the quiz at engVid – and don’t worry if it’s not perfect! You’re probably not alone.
