"Gbagaun" detected. Hila12: The word "to" is missing in the underlined. |

Rilwayne001: I knew someone would spot that lol. The omission of 'to' is deliberate and is very common in mainstream conversations. For example, we going New York for holidays or we headed Calabar in half an hour Great observation. Cheers. 2 Likes |
