Common errors in English

السلام عليكم جميعا
في هذا الموضوع تنتناول اخطاء شائعة يرتكبها متعلمو اللغة الانجليزية من حيث الاستخدام الخاطئ للكلمات حتى نتمكن إن شاء الله من التغلب عليها .

نبدأ مع اخطاء شائعة بحرف ال " a "

accept vs except
الفعل الاول يعني يقبل بينما الثاني يعني يستثني.


If you offer me Godiva chocolates I will gladly accept
them—except for the candied violet ones. Just remember that the “X” in “except” excludes things—they tend to stand out, be different. In contrast, just look at those two cozy “C’s” snuggling up together. Very accepting. And be careful; when typing “except” it often comes out “expect.”

adopt vs adapt
الفعل الاول يعني يتبنى طفلا - قضية ...
الفعل الثاني تعبر عن التأقلم .

You can adopt a child or a custom or a law; in all of these cases you are making the object of the adoption your own, accepting it. If you adapt something, however, you are changing it.

already vs all ready
All ready” is a phrase meaning “completely prepared,” as in “As soon as I put my coat on, I’ll be all ready.” “Already,” however, is an adverb used to describe something that has happened before a certain time, as in “What do you mean you’d rather stay home? I’ve already got my coat on.”
