The one that always tripped me up is 'My name is' (Mon nom est <blank>)...which is techincally correct! But It's also absolutely wrong, because it's really je m'appalle (I call myself <blank>). It's a very firm disconnect.
More towards what Zach was talking about, there's also things like 'I am running' and 'I run' as two different verbs in english. Literal translations just aren't going to get you all the way there.
