How good is your English? Quiz 4.

This English quiz is about mistakes English learners often make.

We’ll ask you to identify 6 common English mistakes and choose your answer before the clock stops ticking.

Then we'll explain what's wrong and show you examples of the correct English in action. We'll also direct you to videos if you want more help with grammar and vocabulary.

In this video we look at:
- affect vs. effect
- by vs. until
- how to say someone's age
- raise vs. rise
- when we use the verb 'suggest'
- structures we use (and don't use) with suggest
