Articles, especially "the"

Turkish has bir (≈a) but nothing like "the", so definite articles vanish. If the listener already knows which one, say THE: "close THE door".

Word order (SOV→SVO)

Turkish is verb-final; English puts the verb after the subject: "I drank tea", not "I tea drank".

from your first language

he vs she

Turkish "o" covers he/she/it, so genders swap mid-sentence. Slow down and pick he or she deliberately.

from your first language

Questions need "do" or inversion

Turkish asks with the -mi particle and flat structure; English needs do-support or inversion: "DO you like tea?", not "You like tea?" with rising tone alone.

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.
