This is a beginner guide and tutorial for using the Blender mirror modifier and I also show the pitfalls because I get many requests for tips or tutorials for this modifier.
The main cause of errors is transforming the objects that you want to add a mirror to in object mode and not in edit mode. This affects the objects origin (location), scale and rotation which has to be applied before using the mirror modifier.
I am using Blender 2.9 in this video but you can use 2.8 as well.
