[1] I walk-id to school today.
Point 1: The error is not an L1 (mother tongue) interference.
Point 2: The learner mispronounces the verb
walked.
Point 3: The assumption that -
ed is pronounced [Id].
Point 4: Introduce the learner to the morphophonemes [t], said after voiceless sounds (e.g., walk[t], push[t]), [Id], said after [t] or [d] sounds (hat[Id], end[Id]), and [d] elsewhere (e.g., answer[d], call[d]). Read more
here ... [2] I'd like to make a photo.
Point 1: That particular error is usually attributed to L1 interference.
Point 2: The learner uses
make instead of
take.
Point 3: Vocabulary.
Point 4: Collocations and explain the semantics of
make and
take (e.g., to make is to create; to take, in example [2], is to obtain, which is why this phrase
get/grab a photo, e.g.
I'd like to get/grab a photo expresses the same meaning as
take a photo. Cf.
I'm going to take a shower ~
I'm going to grab a shower, but not *
I'm going to get a shower. Collocations.)
[3] He's a friendly girl.
Point 1: The error can be attributed to L1 interference.
Point 2: The learner uses the wrong pronoun,
he instead of
she.
Point 3: Two possible causes. The learner's L1 doesn't make a distinction between male and female pronouns or the pronunciation of /h/ and /sh/ before high front vowel [i:] is not phonemic / not distinctive in the learner's L1.
Point 4: Activities that focus on pronunication (minimal pairs) and/or vocabulary (gender specific pronouns and nouns).
[4] What do you eat for dinner yesterday.
Point 1: The error could be attributed to L1 interference.
Point 2: The learner used the wrong tense, present
do instead of past
did.
Point 3: Possibly, that adverbs carry tense, not verbs. (In some languages, adverbs (e.g.,
yesterday), not the verb, express time.)
Point 4: Activities that focus on verb tense and adverbs.
All the best
