I'll never understand how to correctly use "whom" with the exception to "to whom it may concern".

The use of their and there, I have to think about it all the time.
Also, principle and principal

Re: What is the one grammar mistake you make most often?
I always say "so and so went BY XYZ's office." instead of saying TO XYZ's office.
Another thing is I always catch myself saying "gonna wanna" instead of going to want to. And it's even worse that I have a terrible Queens accent.

there must be a little trick to remember it but I don't know it
stationary has an A instead of an E
when you are stationary, your ASSS (A for ASSS) is in one spot

Re: What is the one grammar mistake you make most often?
present perfect vs. past simple with time words.
ETA- I know when I should use it, but I always screw up the "correct" (AKA British English) way to use it whilst speaking.

Ending sentences with a preposition.
My grammar school teacher taught us a song with 30 prepositions to the tune of yankee doodle. I still remember it to this day so when I think I'm about to end a sentence with a preposition, I sing the song to double check!
