Your native language (Русский) quietly pushes you into specific English errors. Here are the ones to watch — and the fix for each. This is exactly how WordSlick coaches you, every day.
See my full report & start free →Russian has no a/an/the, so they vanish. Rough rule: new-to-listener → a/an, already-known → the — and most singular countable nouns need one.
Russian covers everything with one past, so "I lost my keys" gets used for a result that still matters — English wants "I HAVE lost my keys" when the effect is now.
Russian omits "to be" in the present ("она врач"); English requires it: "she IS a doctor", "it IS cold".
"Я очень люблю…" gives "I very like it"; English says "I REALLY like it" or "I like it very much". "Very" can't sit before a verb.
When to use a/an/the vs nothing is subtle and trips most learners.
Present perfect vs past simple, continuous vs simple — English aspect is fine-grained.
