There are so many examples for this. Some that come to mind:

• “He has 30 years” instead of “He is 30 years old” (Spanish “Tiene 30 años”)
• “How do you call this?” instead of “What do you call this?” (e.g., French: Comment ça s’appelle? I think German too)
• “I’m going in the bus” instead of “I’m going on the bus”
• “She is more nice” instead of “She is nicer”

Apart from that, try explaining to a learner why “Read” (present) and “Read” (past) is spelled the same but pronounced differently.

Or plural (or do I capitalize that here? 🤔) inconsistencies: one “mouse,” two “mice”; but one “house,” two “houses.” To be fair, other languages do that stuff too.
