English Grammar Mistakes And Corrections by Jokerman(m): 4:13pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
I opened this thread for us to correct ourselves when speaking or writing English language especially with the figures of speech..... So it is imperative you type the wrong use of grammar and tell us wat d correct will be.. thanks.. 1. More better: This is wrong from what I hear. More and better are both comparative adjectives. More is used for adjectives or adverbs that their positive forms have more than two syllables... I.e * handsome * intelligent *comfortable. . e.g Positive Comparative Superlative 1. good better best 2. Young younger youngest 3. Brilliant More brilliant Most brilliant 4. Beautiful More beautiful Most Beautiful e.g * Ayo is better than femi....NOT: Ayo is more better than femi 2. Still yet: This is another mistake I heard people make, I inclusive. .. Still yet is wrong... it either one uses still or yet.. 3. Use of Have and Has.. * use have for plural forms e.g The dogs have Temi and Shikemi have I/ We/ They have * Use has for singular forms or nouns e.g She has It has Please no one is a virtuoso or genius in English language. Please help us with corrections even with the examples above. So everyone can learn.. thank you ferry much.... |

Jokerman:I totally agree with the above sentences. Good job. *Clears throat* I believe "Ayo is much taller than Femi" is correct when talking about the degree of differences and not just comparision. No bozz? |
