Avoid These Verb Conjugation Errors In English by Jamariwolff(f): 10:19pm On Feb 02, 2018 |
So as a first language, we just learnt the English language without really focusing on its basic conjugations. I'd use 5 common verbs to show you how to avoid errors I see here everyday. 1. To have: I have You have He/she/it has We have They have 2. To come I come You come He/she/it comes We come They come 3. To go: I go You go He/she/it goes We go They go 4. To cry: I cry You cry He/she/it cries We cry They cry 5. To buy: I buy You buy He/she/it buys We buy They buy OK now, what can you notice from the above conjugations? They're not all the same!!! You can't say 'he have', because it's wrong. Take for example: He go to school everyday (wrong) He goes to school everyday (right) She come here everyday (wrong) She comes here everyday (right) What goes around come back around (wrong) What goes around comes back around (right) I think that I'm out of my mind (right) He think that he's out of his mind (wrong) They think that they're out of their mind (right) She thinks that she's out of her mind (right) He have gone (wrong) He has gone (right) Please take note and avoid these mistakes. Thanks 1 Like 1 Share |

Op formula i.e the Concord pls |
Re: Avoid These Verb Conjugation Errors In English by Jamariwolff(f): 3:08pm On Feb 03, 2018 |
Aminu212:in verbs, the first person (I and you) retains a singular form, while (he/she/it) becomes plural. (They and we) also retains a singular form. I go, you go, he goes (notice the es added) He never listens to me, not he never listen to me. I never listen to my mother, not I never listens t my mother. Understood? |
