Common Mistakes in use of English-Lesson 48



Either vs As Well / Too
Either is used with a negative verb when you are agreeing with something someone doesn't do or like etc.

For example:- B agrees with A in the negative
Ram - "I don't like cheese." Ramesh - "I don't like it
either."
Priya- "I haven't seen Lord of the Rings." Rita - "I haven't seen it
either."
Well / Too are used with an affirmative verb when you are agreeing with something someone does or likes etc.
For example:- B agrees with A in the positive

Sita - "I love ice cream." Prem - "I love it
too." / "I love it as well."
Suresh- "I've seen Gladiator." Hiren - "I've seen it
too." / " I've seen it as well."

Every Day Vs Everyday
Every day - here every is a determiner and day is a noun.
When you say every day you mean each day without exception.

For example: You have been late for school every day this week. Everyday  is an adjective.   When you say everyday you mean ordinary, unremarkable.
For example: My culture pages offer an insight into the
everyday life of Britain.

Expand Vs Expend

Expand is a transitive or intransitive verb. It means to increase in size, number or importance, or to make something increase.
For example: He is expanding his vocabulary on the forum.
Expend is a transitive verb. It means to use or spend something (especially time, effort or money).
For example: She is expending a lot of effort to help her students
