Nice! But, there's a part of Concord that you didn't talk about-Notional Concord.In notional concord, which is very predominantly used in British English, the idea of plurality is embedded in a word, even if the word appears singular.For instance, government, team etc.If you notice, during English Premiership matches, you hear commentators say things like:'Arsenal are a delight to watch...Or, 'Chelsea are desperately defending...' The idea of plurality is hidden in words like Arsenal and Chelsea.These commentators, it has to be stated, are professional speakers. |

babyfaceafrica:Exactly too. I ain't good with English myself but i think the word "burst" is "burst" be it past participle, present or future tense. So "everybody bursted out laughing" should be "everybody burst out laughing" Cheers. 2 Likes |

dinkyicon:Hehehehe You cannot take it away. The same way an Hausa man would pronounce "Pepper" as "Ferfer" is also the same way my Oyo folks will pronounce "Very" as "Fery", "Love" as "Lof" Ask a typical Igbo man to pronounce "Clement", you hear "Claymaint" |

@op:Since the subject of discussion is grammatical errors in English language,let me just point out that "bursted into laughter" which you reiterate in your write-up is NOT correct,it's "BURST into laughter"...as the past tense of "burst" is...wait for it... "burst"! Sheik,the Pedant[glasshouses and all...] |
