00:00 Intro
00:35 Mistake 1
Saying ‘Have you ever been in … ?’ is wrong, you should say ‘Have you ever been in …?’ We use the preposition 'to' when we are talking about travel, about movement.
01:17 Mistake 2
The word 'consist' is more formal, more academic. You can use this word in a sentence like 'The air consists of nitrogen and oxygen'
You can also say 'I live with' - I live with my mom and dad. Or you can say 'I'm the only child' if you don't have any siblings
01:54 Mistake 3
The phrase “I am fine, thank you. And you?” is grammatically correct, but native speakers just don't say it. The more natural way of answering this question would be: “I'm doing great, you?” or “Not bad, and you?”
02:29 Mistake 4
There is nothing grammatically incorrect in this sentence. In British English and American English, it can sound rude and impolite to tell someone that they don't look good.
A better way to say this to someone is by saying "you seem a little tired" or "you seem a little under the weather" Under the weather is a nice idiomatic expression meaning sick or unwell.
