Erros típicos de quem fala português

Errado What you ate at your aunt's?
Certo What did you eat at your aunt's?
«O que comeste?» é só pronome interrogativo e verbo. Em inglês, no passado, a pergunta precisa de did, e o verbo volta ao infinitivo: did you eat.
Errado My nephew always eats chips with the hands.
Certo My nephew always eats chips with his hands.
Para partes do corpo o português usa o artigo («com as mãos»). Em inglês usa-se o possessivo: with his hands, wash your hands.
Errado Snails? No, I don't eat that, it's exquisite.
Certo Snails? No, I don't eat that, it's weird.
«Esquisito» é estranho, mas exquisite é «requintado», «delicioso» — o contrário do que se quer dizer.

A armadilha típica

Errado Do not call at eight — we will eat.

Certo Do not call at eight — we will be eating.

Esta forma raramente se constrói mal e quase sempre se esquece. I will work at nine diz que às nove começo; I will be working at nine diz que às nove já lá estou. E a pergunta muda de natureza: Will you use the car? lê-se como um pedido, a forma contínua não.
