Some friends, especially those who are just learning English, often make the following mistakes.

  n, ^* v7 C# s2 P3 }% {4 m1. My husband has a good job. She makes over 100,000 dollars a year.2 b# G( G- }; h& X7 \* W
    My girlfriend did not live with me, because he is still in China.
* m% Q* C% \2 m9 d! C' r# E( K/ r3 q0 U" M' g" `( p: G
The reason to make this mistake is not due to grammar knowledge. One reason might be she and he have the same pronunciation in Chinese.

2. I do not like big rain, I like small rain.. ?1 r9 D0 H3 k; s' T

These mistakes are made because of direct translation. Another similar mistake is: I very like Canada. You really like Canada, or you like Canada very much.
