Common mistakes
— 01
Confusing forms
Incorrect. I have hate that movie. Correct. I have hated that movie. Explanation. The mistake arises from using the base form 'hate' instead of the past participle form 'hated' in perfect tense constructions. The past participle is necessary for forming present perfect, past perfect, etc., and not the past simple form.
— 02
Misusing Past Simple
Incorrect. The movie was hate by everyone. Correct. The movie was hated by everyone. Explanation. In this mistake, the past simple form 'hate' is incorrectly used instead of the past participle 'hated' in a passive voice construction. The passive voice requires the past participle form of the verb with an appropriate form of the verb 'to be' to convey actions done to the subject.
— 03
Incorrect Structure
Incorrect. Did you hate the movie yesterday? Correct (if aiming for past participle use). Did you hate the movie yesterday? Incorrect (if aiming for correction based on misunderstanding of tense). Have you hated the movie since yesterday? Explanation. This point is a bit tricky since the original example is actually correct for a simple past question. However, a common mistake might involve misunderstanding when to use the past simple versus the past participle in questions or negatives. For instance, confusing the time frames applicable for simple past ('Did you hate...?') and present perfect ('Have you hated...?') based on the context of the action being discussed. The correction aims to clarify that the original sentence can be correct but might be mistakenly crafted if the speaker's intent was to refer to an ongoing dislike starting from a point in the past, which would require the present perfect.
