Articles (Ukrainian has none)

Ukrainian has no a/an/the — the single biggest Slavic→English gap. Articles get dropped ("I am student") or over-corrected.

from your first language

Dropping "is/are"

Ukrainian omits the present-tense "to be" ("Він лікар" = "He doctor"), so "He doctor" / "She very tired" appear. English always needs is/are.

Perfective vs perfect

Ukrainian marks aspect on the verb itself, so present perfect vs past simple ("I have done" vs "I did") has no direct equivalent and gets picked by feel.

from your first language

Flexible word order

Ukrainian cases let you reorder freely for emphasis; English word order is fixed and carries the grammar. Keep Subject-Verb-Object.

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.
