Today’s lesson is all about spelling mistakes involving adding an extra letter to a word, or accidentally removing a letter from a word.  There are so many words in English where these errors can happen, but again I’m going to focus on the most common ones. If you are looking for a quick way to check and correct your spelling and grammar, I recommend Grammarly - it's a free online tool!  If you want to get personal correction from an English teacher, then I recommend joining our Advanced English Grammar Course or Reading Course, and selecting the option that includes teacher feedback.

Today I'll help you avoid two very common mistakes I see English learners make!  Want to correct your mistakes and learn to use English more confidently?  Check out my Advanced English Grammar Course! One of my students says this course has helped him correct a lot of errors:    “This is the best English course I’ve ever taken! The explanations in all the lessons are very clear and detailed. I got to know the mistakes that non-native English speakers commonly make. What’s most interesting is that there are writing tasks in every lesson and I could send my writing in for correction! I love it very much! Through this, I got to know my grammatical mistakes that I’d been making for years.” – Foong, Malaysia
