#A POSITIVE statement or question does not have the not particle e.g >I am happy >Tunde is a notorious thief >is it? (these are positive statements because of the absence of not # A statement or question is negative if it contains the not particle e.g >I am not happy >Tunde is not a notorious thief >isn't it? Etc. I hope you now can identify positive and negative statements and questions? Sure you can Now let us go back to the rule where I stated that ''when a statement is positive, the tag/question following it must be negative''. These are some examples: a We are going on holiday (positive statement), aren't we? (negative question) Did you see how ''we'' and ''are'' are transposed? That is how we form tags b The girl is listening (positive statement), isn't she? (negative question) |
Today's topic is STRUCTURAL TAG Before we begin, I'll like to give explicit explanation on tags : => What is a tag? Tag is a word or phrase that is added to a sentence for emphasis. It can be in form of a question i.e question tag, e.g #is it? #aren't you? Etc =>How do we form tags? To form tag strucures, a statement and a question must come together. And these are the rules for joining them together. RULE 1. When a statement is positive, the tag/question following it must be negative. You may ask, how can I identify positive and negative statements? Don't worry because it is a very simple thing. Here it goes: |
As we all know JAMB registration started Sept 15th of this month and it'll be better to start preparing for the exam now that time is still on our sides considering the fact that nearly 60% of people who wrote 2014/2015 JAMB exam got below 200. Some students were of the notion that JAMB propitiated the CBT candidates and turned a red eye to the PPT 'jambites' but let me bring it to your notice that all those are misconceptions. It is a fact that JAMB do mark people down but ''once your original score is high(maybe 250-280), you'll never get below 200''. You can quote me anywhere. So let us not frolick with our time, instead let us maximize it by reading avidly both offine and ONLINE. I will be posting some lessons and questions on English language topics and you all can ask questions, contribute or pick any topic you think you find difficult on English Language. PrinceCEE, Fortunate017, Fembleez and other 2014/2015 erudite jambites, you can come in and make this thread lively once again |

Right from childhood we've been dreaming dreams and achieving visions and the journey still goes on. Someone once said the day you stop to dream you start to die. You can't live a life without a purpose and expect to be successful, it's like taking a cruise without a destination. So my country men and women, boys and girls where do you see yourself five years from now? What do you plan to have achieved within this time frame? |
Mr. Jarus always going higher since 19BC, I'm happy for you sir. |
chizzy94: LOL. He doesn't give a damn to who ever is in power, he spill out truth in its raw form not like some lickspittle who embellishes or even juxtapose the truth with lesser truth. A marverick, a force to reckon with, his legacy will forever reign. I have like 6 of his music on my phone . Anytime I play dm it ignites the revolunary spirit in me. I will never forget dis words: ''Suffer, suffer for world, amen, enjoy for heaven......pope e dy 4 romu, imam e dy 4 mecca, arch bishop dy 4 london. '' [I pity poor Christians who use dat quote as an excuse for poverty/mediocrity] ''you can't dash me my propery....human right na my property'' ''what is united in United Nation, East west blok vs west blok east, dis-united United Nation'' ''Animals in human skin'' He might have lived a rugged life bt, d guy is a legend |

Suley316: Yo! Bruhs and laeDs if I want to collect my Gce certificate how, where and what is required .... Give me details on the process #please #urgentthe onilne result, 4 passports,(altho u'll need 1, jst carry 4), 2k (but go with 3k excluding t fare). Go very early as early as 8 o'clock coz they have a particular amount of people they attend to daily and once it get to that number, u'll be asked to come back the nxt day even tho the time is 11am. |
Oveyobaba: mr ahika please what about ppl whose passport size iz nt 1*1. And for the record i corrected my waec certificate in 2 hoursI don't think it'll mean much as far as it's red bad ground and a passport . You don't expect clearance officers to bring out rulers and start measuring everybody's passport. (I think Godwin10 has given a conclusive ans b4) You did d correction in 2hrs? At where? How much? I'm asking cos I went to their office in Ojo, Alaba Int'l to collect my original certificate in the process I asked the attendant if I can add my native name (since my native name was omitted in my GCE). She told me that I can't. I asked her more than 5times to be sure, she was even getting infuriated so I had to hold my peace One more thing, nxt time it's ''Ahika'' do me a favour nxt time by omitting the ''mr'' |
polz: #liked80% of us here are having name issues and it has never been heard that 80% admitees were denied admission for this reason. Instead we've heard of methods used in correcting name issues such as going to JAMB office, Waec office, Neco office, Filling Correction form, Swearing Affidavit etc., But I think the correction form beats all Although admission may be delayed but can never be denied for name issues |
