Make sure you avoid making the following common mistakes:

  • I'm wearing red skirt.

Remember to use the indefinite article in front of singular items of clothing.

I'm wearing a red skirt.

  • I'm wearing a jeans.

Remember not to use the indefinite article in front of plural items of clothing. Revise here.
