error Common mistakes

• Saying "I am sweating too much smell" instead of "I have body odour" or "I smell of sweat" (form a natural, grammatically correct sentence).
• Saying "clean the dirt" instead of "scrub off the dirt" or "wash away the dirt" (use the natural verb for removing dirt from skin).
• Saying "bath is refreshing me" instead of "the bath is refreshing" or "the bath refreshes me" (avoid the unnatural continuous form here).
• Saying "wipe with towel" instead of "dry off with a towel" or "towel dry" (use the natural phrase).
• Saying "put deodorant" instead of "apply deodorant" or "put on deodorant" (use the correct verb with "deodorant").
• Saying "my body is smelling" instead of "my body smells" or "I smell of sweat" (avoid the unnecessary continuous tense with "smell").
