Learning English can be hard work! It is, at best, a complicated language with many rules and almost as many exceptions to those rules. As such, at Proofed, we have nothing but respect for English as a second language (ESL) – also known as English as an additional language (EAL) or English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) – learners.
Luckily, our editors have a lot of experience working with ESL customers. This means we’re good at spotting the kinds of errors that many ESL writers make. And to help out, we’ve compiled this list of 15 common ESL errors and how to fix them.
