8. Using Wrong Prepositions
Non-native English speakers have a problem with the correct use of prepositions. There is not such a sharp distinction between different prepositions in Chinese; that’s why this part of English is problematic for Chinese speakers. They tend to confuse the prepositions, and this mistake found its place at No. 8 of our list of the 11 common English mistakes made by Chinese speakers.
Mistake example:
“Jane and Troy went by car, and we will go in foot.”
“We meet in 9:45.”
