Common mistakes
I am having a backache.I have a backache.
have 表示“患病/疼痛”时是状态动词，不用进行时；正在背痛应说 I have a backache，而不是 I am having a backache。中文没有进行时态区别，学习者容易加 am having。
I have a backache since yesterday.I have had a backache since yesterday.
since 表示“从……起”，与现在完成时连用，说明动作或状态持续到现在；不能用一般现在时。应把 have 改为 have had。
I have a backache on my back.I have a backache.
backache 本身就表示“背部的疼痛”，再加 on my back 既重复又介词错误；直接说 I have a backache 即可。
