1. Verb conjugation: This includes errors in using the correct tense (present, past, future), agreement between subject and verb, and irregular verb forms. For example, a learner might say "I goed to the store" instead of "I went to the store." This is because different languages have different systems of verb conjugation.
2. Article usage: English uses definite articles (the) and indefinite articles (a/an) in ways that can be confusing for learners. For example, a non-native speaker might say "I went to the store" when they actually meant "I went to a store." This is because article usage can differ significantly between languages.
It's important to remember that:
* Every language learner is different. Some learners may excel in certain areas of grammar while struggling with others.
* The more exposure a learner has to English, the fewer grammatical errors they will likely make.
Instead of focusing on "most likely errors," it's more beneficial to help non-native speakers develop their overall grammatical understanding through various resources, practice, and positive feedback.
