Common themes of ESL
- Word order: English word order is different from many other languages, so ESL learners often struggle with putting the correct words in the correct order to form a grammatically correct sentence.
- Verb tense: ESL learners often have trouble using the correct verb tense, especially with irregular verbs or verb forms that are different in their first language.
- Subject-verb agreement: ESL learners may struggle with correctly matching the subject of the sentence with the appropriate verb form.
- Pronoun usage: ESL learners may use the wrong pronoun (such as "I" instead of "me") or omit pronouns altogether.
- Articles: ESL learners may have trouble using "a," "an," and "the" correctly, especially since some languages do not have articles.
- Prepositions: ESL learners may use the wrong preposition, or use a preposition when one is not needed.
- Plural and possessive forms: ESL learners may have trouble forming plurals and possessives, especially with irregular nouns.
- Adjective and adverb placement: ESL learners may place adjectives and adverbs in the wrong position within a sentence.
- False cognates: ESL learners may confuse words that look similar in their first language and in English, but have different meanings.
