Please Avoid These Errors in Writing and Speaking English

Ordinarily

we say ,

1️⃣ '' Please give me some place to sit '' when we board a bus or train.
This is ❌. We should say✅ '' Please give me some room to sit ''.

'place' refers to ' an area where sth already exists ' , where as
'room' refers to ' space which is still unoccupied '.
How can you sit in a place where sth / sbd already exists ?
So say ' room ' not ' place ' when you are on buses , trains or other such vehicles.

2️⃣ '' He don't like this food .'
This is ❌. We should say ✅'' He doesn't like this food. ''

'He' is a singular pronoun.
So use ' does / does n't ' with singular nouns and pronouns.

3️⃣'' It is my most favourite movie. ''
This is ❌. We should say ✅'' This is my favourite movie.''

Adjectives like ' favourite ' , ' ideal' , ' impossible ' etc are already Superlative Adjectives . They don't have ' positive ' and ' comparitive ' degree forms.
So don't use ' est ' or ' most ' with these adjectives.

    Please give me some room to seek. He doesn't like this food. She doesn't like you go away. I don't like this shop. It's my favorite movie. She is my favorite actor. It's my favorite sport. Swimming is my favorite sport. Doing nothing is my favorite hobby.
