many... but here are some ;)
Good/WellThe common phrase "how are you?" is often answered by "I am good." However, good is not an adverb and cannot describe a verb, including am. Good is an adjective and describes a noun. A more grammatically correct response is "I am well."
The difference between these two words lies in their different grammatical functions. Lie is an intransitive verb, which means that it is never followed by a direct object. If a direct object is required, lay is used. A person cannot lay down, but he can lay the book on the table before he lies down.
Who/Whom
Like lay and lie, these two words are often confused because they communicate a similar idea, but are used in different grammatical contexts. Who is a pronoun that takes the place of a subject; whom takes the place of an object. Whom is the appropriate replacement for a direct or indirect object or the object of a preposition. Therefore, it is never "who did he ask?" or "whom did it?" but "whom did he ask?" and "who did it?"
The most common mistake i always hear from my work mates daily
when i ask someone " where is (name) ? " and he replies : " He didn't came " :)
