Wetin make I do now. Na new year. Make I laugh

abeg laugh jare...

I ill also like to chip in this.

The use of "used to"

it is used for something you no longer do or do a lot in the past e.g I "used to," slaughter Ram on new year days...√ correct

This shows you no longer slaughter again

Rather tham saying "I used to eat cake on mondays" intending it to mean an everyday activity.× wrong

Instead you say I do eat cake on mondays√
meaning you do it continously.

So true......

I could use them correctly before now.

It's "I love people who know. ...." .

Happy New Year!

dancok:

am a grammarian too, where is your alma Matta?

"I'm" or "I am" starts a sentence and not "am".

Now, don't tell me it's a shortened version cause it's simply ridiculous.

Happy New Year to you too!

Jackter101:
These errors are very common
The first one is using the word "common" instead of "come on".
The 2nd is using "loose" instead of "lose".
The 3rd is using the word "your" instead of "you're". Y

I concur On to the Next one!

It can't be true that graduates don't know these things.

I make a lot of mistakes, 95% are due to being in a hurry or the typing prompts you have in smartphones.

I guess most people know.

That's always the case. The more you look for the speck in your brother's eyes, the more the agbalumo trees in your own eyes get bigger and produce delicious fruits.

[size=23pt]The Love Story of a Unilag Babe and Bus Conductor[/size]

»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»


Something interesting happened on my way to Oshodi this
morning. At the park this rough mean-looking conductor
also known as “agbero” in Yoruba was screaming for
passengers, his vernacular oscillating between Yoruba and
pidgin English.
“Oshod! Oshod!” He shouted angrily as I along with some
other passengers scuttled for seats. There was this beautiful
young lady who couldn’t throw caution and decorum to the
wind but waited patiently until the bus was almost filled.

Then she pleaded to sit by the agbero until somebody came
down then she would pay for a proper seat.
The agbero didn’t even look at her pretty face, he hissed and
shouted to the driver to move that why didn’t she rush when
others were rushing. The girl started pleading in Yoruba and
clean ‘oyinbo’ english; “please, ejó, help me out sir, I know
you are a good man, never mind all this shout you have
been shouting (people burst into laughter). Let me sit by
your side please”.

Finally with much squeezing of face the agbero relented and
she sat beside him. It was a tight squeeze but she didn’t
complain but rather started praising the agbero.
He in turn started teasing her, speaking (and sometimes spitting by
mistake) into her face but the girl never looked away, she
never let the smile leave her face. He asked her where she
worked and she replied that she was a student in the
University of Lagos (UNILAG) studying accounting.

He teased her in Yoruba about her boyfriend and car (maybe asking
why her boyfriend didn’t drop her at her destination…she
laughed it off and continued to gist with the guy in Yoruba.

grammarian, a part of your grammar lacks concord: "I Love People Who Knows How To Use English."
It should be- I Love People Who "Know" not "Knows"

omusiliyu:
[size=28pt] Am and I'm[/size]

Let blame social networks for that

It's "Let's" and not "Let"

Good and informative

charlesikhalea:


Oga Grammarian, its " I love people who KNOW how to use english"....... Before we correct people let us make sure we know what we re talking
about... Thank u
