Maskatno Giri berusaha terus baik hati dan tidak sombong atau bangga diri,  pokoknya terus  berbagi tiada henti, "yen ora bolo ora tak kandani".

Berikut ku sedikit contoh  "  Common Mistakes in English atau kesalahan-kesalahan umum dalam Bahasa Inggris"

1. Lose dan Loose

- Lose/lost (verb) mempunyai arti antara lain: kalah, kehilangan/menghilangkan, melewatkan. Contoh kalimat:
I lost my wallet (Saya kehilangan dompet saya).
Don’t lose to your opponent (Jangan kalah sama lawanmu).
I don’t want to lose you (Saya tidak ingin kehilangan kamu).

- Lost (adjective): hilang, membingungkan, lenyap, mati. Contoh kalimat:
I’m lost (Saya tersesat).
She was lost when he started to explain the theories of quantum physics (Dia bingung ketika dia mulai menjelaskan teori fisika quantum)

- Loose (adjective): longgar, mudah, bebas. Contoh kalimat:
The t-shirt is very loose on me (Kaosnya sangat longgar di saya).

Perbandingan:
Lose yourself dan loose yourself (bebaskan dirimu), di sini loose kurang tepat karena dibutuhkan verb sebelum kata yourself (reflexive pronoun). Bila menggunakan kata loose maka perlu dirubah menjadi verb hingga menjadi loosen yourself. Bentuk adverb dari loose adalah loosely.

2. Live, Leave, Alive, dan Life

- Live (verb): tinggal, hidup Contoh kalimat:
I live in Solo (Saya tinggal di Solo -sekarang-)
She lives in Solo (Dia tinggal di Solo -sekarang-)

- Live, alive (adjective): hidup, langsung, bekerja, penting. Contoh kalimat:
I feel alive (Saya merasa hidup).
He is a lively (adverb) person (Dia adalah orang yang hidup/aktif).

- Life, lives (noun): nyawa, hidup, kehidupan. Contoh kalimat:
It’s my life (Ini hidup saya).
Save our lives (Selmatkan hidup kami).

- Leave (verb): meninggalkan. Contoh kalimat:
Don’t leave me (jangan tinggalkan saya).

3. Brought dan Bought

- Brought: bentuk lampau dari kata bring yaitu membawa. Contoh kalimat:
He brought my bags to the car (Dia membawa tas-tas saya ke mobil).

- Bought: bentuk lampau dari kata buy yaitu membeli. Contoh kalimat:

-Quiet (adjective): sunyi. Contoh kalimat:

5. Practice dan Practise

- Practice (noun): latihan, praktik, kebiasaan. Contoh kalimat:
Music practice needs a lot of concentration (Latihan musik butuh banyak konsentrasi).

- Practise (verb): berlatih, melakukan, menjalankan, melakukan. Contoh kalimat:
She needs to practise her French (Dia perlu melatih bahasa Perancisnya).

6. Save dan Safe
