common mistakes

sobat, kalo dipikir pikir, kayaknya kita ga usah nginget inget makhluk asing yang bernama GRAMMAR kalo kita lagi cuap cuap in english. tapi itu bukan berarti kita jadi anti sama yang namanya grammar. ada kalanya kita pegang teguh n adakalanya kita tinggalin bentar. tapi tetep aja kita sebagai non native speaker wajar aja kalo kita membuat mistakes pas ngomong inggris. walaupun english to foreign language buat kita, tapi kalo kita tau kalo hal itu salah, ya kita hindarin lah. jangan sampai kita jadi orang bodoh yang menutup mata kalo lagi salah walopun kita tau hal itu salah.
