Verbs carry the time

Indonesian shows time with sudah/akan and never changes the verb; English changes the verb itself: "yesterday I WENT", not "yesterday I go".

from your first language

Articles (a/an/the)

Indonesian has no articles, so a/an/the get dropped. Most singular countable nouns need one: "I have A car".

from your first language

Plural -s, not doubling

Indonesian doubles the noun (buku-buku); English adds -s instead: "books". Don't leave the noun bare after numbers: "three bookS".

Articles (a/an/the)

When to use a/an/the vs nothing is subtle and trips most learners.

core challenge

Tense & aspect

Present perfect vs past simple, continuous vs simple — English aspect is fine-grained.

core challenge

Prepositions

in/on/at and dependent prepositions (interested IN, good AT) are idiomatic.
