Oga, presently connotes 'currently, at the moment and very soon' In English, it's possible for a word to have several meanings.
Stop misleading.

English language sha!! I've given up on English since the day I knew that "flammable " and "inflammable " means the same thing ooo

Learn how to correct in love. Nobody is above mistake.

You could have just said that a mistake is sighted, to point the attention of the OP instead of trying to frustrate his/her effort.

Don't do that again. Is that taken?

I suggest you find something else to blog on..

Nigger, you just eased me with laughter.

About the fourth one, you're wrong

Be rest assured

Samstyle:
Hello everyone, today we will discuss some wrong English sentence/phrases that is prevalent among students. Most especially, in Nigeria.

I advise you read painstakingly and study the sentences, as they will help you improve your grammatical structure.

Now, let's get going.


1. BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS.

Note that the proverb " birds of a feather" is never "birds of the same feathers". The correct form of this is;

"Birds of a feather" Not "Birds of the same feathers"


2. POSSIBLE BEST or BEST POSSIBLE

Avoid the use of "BEST POSSIBLE" or "POSSIBLE BEST". Simply say "BEST".

For example, " I will try my best"


3. SO AND THEREFORE

Note that, it is wrong to use "SO" and "THEREFORE" together or "STILL" and "YET" together. You must only use one.

For example:

- I know him, So therefore... (wrong)
- I know him, so... Or I know him, therefore.... (Correct)



4. PRESENTLY AND AT PRESENT

Note that the word " PRESENTLY" means "very soon". It does not mean "AT THE MOMENT". So, if you mean to say 'Now', say "AT PRESENT" or " AT THE MOMENT".

"I will see you presently", means I will "see you very soon"


5. " I was introduced to the Chairman and the Vice Chairman of company"

" I was introduced to the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the company"

I know many many will not be able to tell, which is right or wrong. Nevertheless, since the Chairman is not the same as the Vice Chairman, it is necessary you repeat the definite article (the).

6. "If I were wrong, I'd be the first to admit it."

" If I was wrong, I'd be the first to admit it."

Well, in this case, the first sentence is correct. This is because subjunctive mood requires "WERE", when the conjunction "IF" introduced a supposition.

7. "Nothing shall ever come between you and i,' he told her."

"Nothing shall ever come between you and me,' he told her."

The correct sentence here is, "Nothing shall ever come between you and me,' he told her." Because, the preposition "between", is always followed by the objective form of the pronoun.

8. "Can you imagine him forgetting a date like that?

"Can you imagine his forgetting a date like that?

The correct form here is the second sentence. Be the possessive case ( his) should be used for a pronoun followed by a gerund

9. It is worthy to Note that the response "HOW DO YOU DO" is not a question requiring a further answer by the one introducing himself or herself. However, in greetings, if. Mr A ask, "how do you do" Mr B will respond with "how do you do, too"


10. TO BATH / BATHE

To BATH, means "to wash the whole body" whereas "BATHE" means "to wash a path of the body, especially one which is in pain.

E.g " The doctor ordered that he BATHE his sprained fingers in tepid water"

Having known all these, I hope you were very delighted.

It's sad to see when someone claims to be correcting another person ends up making worse mistakes and errors. Before you posted this, it would have been better you took some time to check them up first.

@ number 10

I have learnt something new.

But, I still need to consult my dictionary.

unappreciative mind

Savagery!!!

Heywhizzy:

Nazeren:


Shut up. Presently means soon. Not at present. Op is correct.

Presently also means at the present time.. please google and thank me later, you fool

Nazeren:

I'm sorry for insulting you.. hope you've unlearned the rubbish the op taught you concerning presently?

I think the last one doesn't follow at all... Bath is a Noun and Bathe is a Verb... So u can have a Bath.. And Bathe your child...

4. PRESENTLY AND AT PRESENT

Note that the word " PRESENTLY" means "very soon". It does not mean "AT THE MOMENT". So, if you mean to say 'Now', say "AT PRESENT" or " AT THE MOMENT".

"I will see you presently", means I will "see you very soon"

Wrong

"Presently" also means at the moment.

Swaggzkid:
Thanks Op, av learnt something new already today before 10am.

how do you do?

Are you sure "how do you do" should be followed by a question mark?

JUST SHUT UP YOUR MOUTH IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, SO THEREFORE IS A VERY CORRECT ENGLISH EVEN BEING USED BY THE BRITISH NEWS CASTERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC UP TILL TODAY.

DID HE SAY IMAGING OR IMAGINE , MAY BE YOU NEED EYE GLASSES
