Don’t use waiting like this: I’m waiting you.
A lot of English learners make this mistake, but it’s easy to fix. And changing one small thing will make your English sound more natural.
In English, wait needs for before the person or thing.
So don’t say: “I’m waiting you.”
✅ Instead, you can say: “I’m waiting for you.”
“I’m waiting for the bus.” “She waited for her friend.” “We’re waiting for the meeting to start.”
Remember! 👉 wait for + person or thing
Try writing your own sentence with wait for in the comments.
