Top 5 Common Grammar Mistakes

Even advanced English speakers make small mistakes that can impact how professional they sound. Here are the top 5 we hear in mock interviews.

1. "I am having 5 years of experience"

Incorrect: "I am having..." is often used in Indian English but sounds unnatural to global audiences. Correct: "I have 5 years of experience."

2. "Discuss about"

Incorrect: "Let's discuss about the project." Correct: "Let's discuss the project." (Discuss already means "talk about").

3. "Revert back"

Incorrect: "I will revert back to you." Correct: "I will revert to you" or "I will get back to you." (Revert means to go back, so "back" is redundant).

4. "Myself [Name]"

Incorrect: "Myself John." Correct: "I am John" or "My name is John."

5. "Did you went?"

Incorrect: "Did you went to the meeting?" Correct: "Did you go to the meeting?" (After "did", always use the base form of the verb).
