Common Mistakes
| Incorrect | Correct | Why? |

| I missing you. | I miss you. | Use the simple present for general feelings. |
| I very love you. | I love you very much. | “Very” doesn’t come before the verb “love.” |
| You are meaning a lot to me. | You mean a lot to me. | Use the simple present with “mean.” |
| I appreciate to help you. | I appreciate your help. | “Appreciate” is followed by a noun or gerund, not an infinitive. |
