4. Uncountable nouns are often wrongly used (This information).
5. When the impersonal it or there subject should be used, it is often wrongly omitted. It seems but not seems that we.
6. Verb tenses uses are confused particularly the present continuous (used too frequently) and present simple (I work in the library every day, but not I am working).
7. Frequently has and have are used wrongly. The course have taught we a lot. Here it should be has.
8. Mistakes with is, are, was and were.
9. do, does in negative sentences.
