Avoid These Expressions by BYCTV(m): 11:13pm On Jan 26, 2020 |
Let me quickly remind us these little things! � Late Mrs or Mr or Chief or Doctor followed by the name of such person without the definite article the coming before it, is wrong. It should be: The late Mrs or Mr or Chief or Doctor Musa Joseph Ogunlade was from that lineage too. � My mum gave us another money for miscellaneous is wrong because of the use of the adjective another. This is because money is an uncountable noun and the adjective another can only be used with singular countable nouns. So, using the two words together in the same sentence will definitely harm such sentence. The correct sentence should be: My mum gave us more money for miscellaneous Have you been looking for way to better your spoken and written English?

I have sometimes corrected this but let me repeat it for emphasis sake. There is nothing like *Point of correction, I am not your friend* Why? - when you mean to bring someone to order by correcting what he or she has said, you do not say What you should say is: Point of order, I am not your friend Taken? This is kind of funny but it is also something we must learn to correct. Do you know it is wrong to say: Emmanuel, call me that boy/that bikeman/Israel Why? - when you mean to call the attention of someone, a taxi, a motorcycle or something, you don't express it in such way that has been exemplified above. Ideally, what the above sentence means is Emmanuel, from today you should call my name *that boy/that bikeman/Israel.* An error-free expression should be: Emmanuel call that boy/that bikeman/Israel for me*_ Join the over 200 BYC scholars on whatsapp, it doesn't cost you anything.
