Erreurs courantes

You mixed the formal pronoun with the informal verb form. Always match 'vy' with the polite verb ending.

Wrong: Ty jste učitel.
Correct: Vy jste učitel.

Gender mismatch. 'Učitelka' is feminine, so it must use 'ona'.

Wrong: On je učitelka.
Correct: Ona je učitelka.

You used the pronoun for 'it' instead of the verb 'am'. Remember: 'já jsem'.

Wrong: Já je student.
Correct: Já jsem student.
