Another one: AN European A European Which one ni? Answer: A European In JSS3, Ola read a book, written by Tai Sholarin's wife, Sheila (?), and she did justice to this. According to this Mama, the word "European" does not start with a vowel sound! Hmmm. That it starts with "yoo". My fav Oxford dico 'says' it starts with "j". Well, bottom line is both are consonants. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/European?q=european I dey go manage moi bored skull outta here, o dabo. #Kurukere tinz |
Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Chiefupper: 1:47pm On Aug 03, 2013 |
it is a pity i just discovered this thread of yours this morning because i have been looking for something of this nature for for so long,i am a science student and civil engineering by profession,my area of concentration has always been science subjects and write from secondary school,we science students always say english is not our major subject so we don't need it much,this now affected my life to the extent that the first SSCE i wrote,i had A's in most of my subjects but D in english,this happened in 2002 and since then i just made it last year,i also noticed that through out my higher institution,i never for once have C in my GNS,so since last year,i have been reading english textbooks extensively and i had B in my last exam,now i still have areas where i am lagging behind and i want to know if you will help me out? |
Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Idolys(m): 11:06pm On Aug 04, 2013 |
@ Ola, please which of these is correct: (a) I was the one who called you on phone yesterday. (b) I am the one who called you on phone yesterday. |
Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Olaone1: 2:31am On Aug 05, 2013 |
Idolys: @ Ola, please which of these is correct:B If in present-participle format, then use "was". |

Oxford Dico gives in __________________________ Definition of "literally" and "marriage" to change. But the OED prides itself on constantly looking out for new ways words can be interpreted. Language experts said the definition did not change overnight but they will monitor how the word marriage changes over the next year.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2392586/Oxford-English-Dictionary-admits-used-wrong-sense-word-literally.html Watching out for "bold" in verb form. LOL |
Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Olaone1: 1:09am On Aug 15, 2013 |
Oh mai Godddd From a commenter. "Of" to become an auxiliary verb, lol: ^^Because it's common these days. |
