Stop saying " I think yes. " or " I think no. "
Shocked? Have you been saying your entire life? Even your teacher says that? Ok. Anyway, it is NOT English.
Although English people can understand what you mean by that, they would never say it themselves simply because it is not how they speak.
English people say " I think so " or " I don't think so "
Many people use it, and they use it a lot. Unfortunately, it is a mistake and it will not go without affecting your score. Now you know how to say it. Please avoid this common mistake.
I think yes
I think so

I am agree.
I agree.

- Let's go out and watch a movie. It is getting boring here.
- I agree. Let me get my coat.

----------------
To sound more natural, use:
" you can say that again "
" I couldn't agree more "
they are idiomatic ways of saying I agree.


- Let's go out and watch a movie. It is getting boring here.
- You can say that again. Let me get my coat.

He left to Tashkent.

For most people it's a simple sentence. However, it has a common grammar mistake.

the word Leave is followed by FOR when you are talking about places.

He left for Tashkent. is correct.

He left Tashkent
= U Toshkentdan ketdi ( Toshkentdan chiqib ketdi, qayergadir )


He left for Tashkent = U Toshkentga ketdi
( Qayerdadir edi va Toshkentga qarab yo’l oldi )

thanks to the subscriber who reminded to compare the two.

bitta yaxshi gramatik qoida haqida yozaman. 5 yil oldin o'qib hayron qolganman. ko'pchilik bilmasligiga ishonaman. negative gaplarda AND emas, OR ni ishlatish kerak. aynan nima uchun,va mustasno holatlarini comments da yozib qoldiring. ertaga bu haqida…
about that:
#grammar
negative gaplarga kelganda and - ikkala qismni ajralmas shakilda qo'shib yuboradi, bu juda kam ishlatiladi.

otlarni bog'laganda asosan or dan foydalaning. OR negative gaplarda, and o'rnida keladi.

I drank and danced
I didn't drink or dance

I don't have pen or pencil
I don't have pen and pencil🙅

I don't like singing or dancing = I dislike both singing and dancing.

I don't like singing and dancing = I dislike singing and dancing at the same time (as in a musical performance), although I might not mind singing by itself or dancing by itself.

P.S. keyingi safar bitta joyda ikkita not ishlatishni tushuntiraman.

..not not..
⚠️advanced level only⚠️
I cannot not share it with you.
no, that is not a mistake. it is a perfectly normal sentence. you just need to say it with the right stress to avoid confusion.

I can't not go
I can't not tell her
I couldn't not eat
I couldn't not look
"I couldn't not look" doesn't mean "I could look", it means "I had to look"

a: I can't play CS:Go with you today, I should go to school.
b: come on, just don't go.
a: I cannot NOT GO, I've been missing a lot of classes. I don't wanna be expelled.

They're pronounced with special stress and intonation, so that they don't get confused with double negatives that cancel each other out.
#grammar
Of course, the pronunciation doesn't come across in writing, so it's ambiguous and confusing, so do not try it in written communication.

⚠️despite and in spite of⚠️

Never put “of” after Despite. Never.

Despite and in spite of are both prepositions meaning “regardless of
ga qaramasdan
Both are followed by Noun ( and a Ving for that reason )


Despite is more formal.
There's nothing wrong with using in spite of, but despite is the less wordy, more concise option of the two. Never put "of" after despite. It's either despite or in spite of , not despite of
Both are
usually followed by “ the “

Despite injury
Despite an injury
Despite the injury

Despite the cold
weather, students came to class as their determination is stronger than the weather.

In spite of the years she spent in Spain, she doesn’t know a word in the language.

Never put “of” after Despite. Never.

No Matter how normal it may sound when you “ I think yes..”,

tend to ≠ moyil
tend to = usually

tend to - this is a quite common piece of language that you come across while reading in English.
However, many believe its Uzbek Translation is " ...ga moyil " which is NOT.


it is far better and more accurate to interpret it as " usually ".

I tend to get up at 6 am in the morning.
men ertalab 6 da uyg'onishga moyilligim bor
men odatda ertalab 6 da uyg'onaman

tend to = usually

moyil deb aytishlariga sabab esa, ular bu so'zni tahminan " have a tendency to "
bilan adashtirishadi.
siz adashtirmang.
you are welcome
