Grammar Mistakes in English: 'verbs' post no. 2

Examples:


1. Wrong: Sanjoy enjoys to play cricket. 
   Correct: Sanjoy enjoys playing cricket. 
                   Enjoy takes an ing-form. 
2. Wrong: Mukesh was awaiting for you. 
   Correct: Mukesh was waiting for you
                   Await is transitive, so it should not be followed by a preposition. 

3. Wrong: Somebody robbed my wallet. 
   Correct: Somebody stole my wallet.

4. Wrong: When did you reach America? 
   Correct: When did you get America?
This is the correct construction. 

5. Wrong: We are taking this foodstuff every Saturday. 
   Correct: We take this foodstuff every Saturday. 
The Present Indefinite Tense is used for things done daily as a habit.
