It results obvious that English is not my mother language... > Don't be too upset - plenty of native English people get this one wrong too - especially since we abandoned that particular barbaric practice last century, this usage of the word is now becoming archaic. How other nationalities cope with the ridiculous irregularities of the English language always amazes me, but not as much as our laziness as a nation in not bothering even to try to learn other people's.
