Also,
mis-using prepositions: I'll meet you at Saturday.
Either over-using or not using a, an, the: He went to [the] toilet,
or personal pronouns: He looked out of [his] window

I recently gave some incorrect grammar sentences to my high school students to correct and they had the most trouble understanding why the sentence
I have been in England 2 years ago
was incorrect. There are a lot of verb tenses in English that don't directly translate.
