In this video, Tutor Nick P discusses a common error that many ESL students make with the word 'afraid.' He explains that 'afraid' is an adjective and not a verb. It is usually used with the verb 'to be.' He provides examples of incorrect sentences made by students and corrects them. The first example is "I afraid of snakes," which should be "I am afraid of snakes." The second example is "She afraid of cockroaches," which should be "She is afraid of cockroaches." The third example is "Do you afraid of ghosts," which should be "Are you afraid of ghosts?"
