Use Of English: Independent Vs Independence by beatsbyj2g(m): 10:16am On Oct 01, 2014 |
[color=#006600][/color] happy independence day nl Today have gotten several messages some saying independent day or independence day. So I thought of it if am to write an essay for an exam tomorrow say waec, which would I rather use independent or independence. Independent; It means to be free from d control or authority of an higher body. Eg Nigeria is independent of Ghana for supply of gold meaning with or without Ghana , Nigeria would still have gold . Also independent is an adjective meaning it modifies or add meaning to any noun dat its attached to eg from d above independent adds meaning to d noun Nigeria Independence: it is a state of being free from d control or others. It expresses a quality of a noun Eg miss independence meaning d lady is free from d control of her friends, parents etc It also expresses d quality of d lady. So with my brief explanation which would u rather go for independent day or independence day |
