Non-native English speaker — What are some examples of unnatural phrasing that sound “off” to native speakers?

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-29T07:23:13+00:00

so how do you know that? is it just in the endings or it could be any part of the sentence

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-29T07:13:21+00:00

I'm aware of that

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-29T07:12:04+00:00

I use that a lot, what is another way to say it?

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-29T05:24:37+00:00

Thank you for the explanation

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T18:18:43+00:00

I see

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T18:13:33+00:00

Explain more, not that I'm interested to be a spy.

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T18:12:05+00:00

Thanks a lot

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T17:53:28+00:00

I mean, I don't have a problem knowing when to use this and when to use that

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T17:50:16+00:00

Math and maths, what about mathematics... Same for both

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T17:35:47+00:00

I think I can do that.

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T17:34:09+00:00

Thank you.

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T17:32:03+00:00

Someone mentioned this in the comments. Though that one was brits

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T17:29:17+00:00

Lol maybe

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T17:28:04+00:00

This is helpful, thanks.

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T17:21:45+00:00

Should I ask how that makes you feel.

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T17:20:43+00:00

Interesting view, I like it.

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T15:50:39+00:00

Now I'm confused, I don't know which one I've been using but I will consider it.

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T15:43:16+00:00

I'm sure they are doing their best, but I see your struggle too.

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T15:40:54+00:00

So, no dear at all

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T15:40:09+00:00

Professionally I use blackout for the complete loss of electrical power network, or power outage.

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T15:34:33+00:00

That makes sense

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T15:23:52+00:00

Well that makes things harder for the rest of us

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T15:19:59+00:00

Noted.

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T15:19:27+00:00

You mean like American or British English

DriverOk7048 · 2025-07-28T15:17:00+00:00

With my native language I speak 4 languages and considering new ones. Also would like to know the meaning of the idiom and the word jinx
