If they know how to correct it, you’ve done alright.
It's a very common mistake. Probably one of those areas where English is just plain odd when compared to others.
I'd like to think of me as being a somewhat competent speaker of English (degree in English, written English heaps better than spoken, I'm sure), but some of these very small quirks are just something I've either never learned or hadn't bothered to remember lol
