5 Common English Mistakes Non-Native Speakers Make (And How to Fix Them)

Ever said, “I go to the store yesterday” instead of “I went to the store yesterday”? Mixing tenses is a classic slip-up for non-native speakers. English loves to tweak verbs to show time—past, present, future—and irregular ones like “go” turning to “went” don’t help. Why’s it tough? Many languages don’t play this tense game as much. The fix? Match the time to the tense: “yesterday” means past, so “I went.” Practice one tense at a time, and it’ll stick. At InSync English, our native-speaking teachers make it easy. They use tenses naturally in every chat—saying “I’ve just finished” or “I’ll call you”—and correct you on the spot. No boring rules, just real English from people who live it. Ready to get tenses right? Our native teachers are here to help!
