"I am Indira, coming from Kollam" - A Common Grammar Mistake

This phrase might sound natural, but it actually implies recent arrival. To correctly state your place of origin, use the Simple Present tense: "I am Indira from Kollam."

The Simple Present tense is used to express permanent states, habitual actions, and general truths.

  • Example: "I live in Mumbai." (Permanent residence)
  • Another Example: "I speak Spanish." (Habitual action)

This subtle difference in word choice can significantly impact the meaning of your sentence.
