Olayinka8793: What is the difference between "been" and "being"? Use "been" after the verb "to have" (e.g., has, have, had, having). For example: I have been to Paris. The puma has been seen in the city. Use "being" after the verb "to be" (e.g., am, is, are, was, were). For example: The greatest benefit is being in Paris. He was being rude.

Kenmatt: Do you think every native English speaker is perfect at grammar? I've interacted with some of them on WhatsApp and Facebook, so I know what I'm talking about. It wouldn't make sense to always take a screenshot of every grammatical mistake I see. But I've attached a screenshot below, say "hi" when you see it.

adeiza4u: Did you mean something like: It made it possible for me to do it? If not, I'd like you to give me some examples. As regards Nigerian standard English and British English, I want you to tell me what the different grammatical nuances are. Both variants definitely have different items of vocabulary, but they have pretty much the same grammar rules. |

I am not confortable with this sentence , "I am having a headache" The use of the article "a" shows that headache is a countable noun. How will it sound if I say I am having headaches? Very weird to me. Though it may be correct, I wouldn't know. Just a local man |

Saynotoapc: Of course not. This is the good stuff. It doesn't matter whether you're referring to two or more things, it's always uncountable. If you're uncomfortable with it, then you should consider using more of "thing" - this noun is countable. 1 Like |

tot: Indeed. In those instances, the writer wasn't incorrect in his communication- he got his point across quite satisfactorily. However, his choice of words made his manner of expression superfluous and his write up, unengaging. The beauty and strength of written english is established by accurate communication, using appropriate diction and phrasing. |
