ENGLISH MATTERS 4|<strong>2018</strong><br />
Thankfully, many New Orleans sights can be enjoyed<br />
without ever standing up. The city’s streetcars are some of<br />
the oldest in the United States. If you’re looking to head out<br />
a bit further, then a riverboat cruise would do you good. These<br />
cruises offer not only breathtaking views of the Mississippi,<br />
but they also have restaurants serving authentic New Orleans<br />
cuisine and live jazz bands that keep the atmosphere lively.<br />
If you’re willing to leave the city altogether, tours of pristine<br />
plantations and wild swamplands are a short drive away.<br />
Gaga Over NOLA<br />
You’d be hard-pressed to find a city that can combine<br />
disparate parts as seamlessly as New Orleans does. Whether<br />
you’re into urban architecture or natural beauty, rowdy bars<br />
or refined restaurants, a piece of history or a new novelty, New<br />
Orleans has got it all. It’s a modern city that has maintained<br />
some Old World charm. Everyone may be looking for something<br />
different once they arrive in New Orleans, but tourists<br />
and locals alike can agree that any experience in New Orleans<br />
will undoubtedly be unforgettable. <br />

TYPICAL SPANISH MISTAKES IN ENGLISH<br />
Give me it! No No, No!<br />
Although this is basic grammar, I have found that some<br />
intermediate students still make this grammar mistake.<br />
When in a sentence, we replace the object with the object<br />
pronoun we must always use the object pronoun before the personal<br />
pronoun.<br />
Let's make this point more clear with examples<br />
- Show me your passport or Show your passport to me - Show it<br />
<br />
to me! but never say: Show<br />
<br />
me it!<br />
- Give me my book! or Give my book to me! - Give it to me! and <br />
<br />
never say Give me it!<br />
<br />
- Send me the fax or send the fax to me! - Send it to me! and never<br />
<br />
Send me it!<br />
<br />
The same happens with the plural object pronoun<br />
<br />
<br />
- Give her the documents or Give the documents to her. Give them<br />
to her but never say Give her them! <br />
More examples<br />
- Pass me the salt, please - Pass it to me please but not Pass me it.<br />
- Bring some candies for the kids! - Bring them for the kids but not<br />
Bring the kids them.<br />
Hope it is clear now and hope this helps!<br />
