Hello everyone, today we will discuss some wrong English sentence/phrases that is prevalent among students. Most especially, in Nigeria.

I advise you read painstakingly and study the sentences, as they will help you improve your grammatical structure.

Now, let's get going.


1. BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS.

Note that the proverb " birds of a feather" is never "birds of the same feathers". The correct form of this is;

"Birds of a feather" Not "Birds of the same feathers"


2. POSSIBLE BEST or BEST POSSIBLE

Avoid the use of "BEST POSSIBLE" or "POSSIBLE BEST". Simply say "BEST".

For example, " I will try my best"


3. SO AND THEREFORE

Note that, it is wrong to use "SO" and "THEREFORE" together or "STILL" and "YET" together. You must only use one.

For example:

- I know him, So therefore... (wrong)
- I know him, so... Or I know him, therefore.... (Correct)



4. PRESENTLY AND AT PRESENT

Note that the word " PRESENTLY" means "very soon". It does not mean "AT THE MOMENT". So, if you mean to say 'Now', say "AT PRESENT" or " AT THE MOMENT".

"I will see you presently", means I will "see you very soon"


5. " I was introduced to the Chairman and the Vice Chairman of company"

" I was introduced to the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the company"

I know many many will not be able to tell, which is right or wrong. Nevertheless, since the Chairman is not the same as the Vice Chairman, it is necessary you repeat the definite article (the).

6. "If I were wrong, I'd be the first to admit it."

" If I was wrong, I'd be the first to admit it."

Well, in this case, the first sentence is correct. This is because subjunctive mood requires "WERE", when the conjunction "IF" introduced a supposition.

7. "Nothing shall ever come between you and i,' he told her."

"Nothing shall ever come between you and me,' he told her."

The correct sentence here is, "Nothing shall ever come between you and me,' he told her." Because, the preposition "between", is always followed by the objective form of the pronoun.

8. "Can you imagine him forgetting a date like that?

"Can you imagine his forgetting a date like that?

The correct form here is the second sentence. Be the possessive case ( his) should be used for a pronoun followed by a gerund

9. It is worthy to Note that the response "HOW DO YOU DO" is not a question requiring a further answer by the one introducing himself or herself. However, in greetings, if. Mr A ask, "how do you do" Mr B will respond with "how do you do, too"


10. TO BATH / BATHE

To BATH, means "to wash the whole body" whereas "BATHE" means "to wash a path of the body, especially one which is in pain.

E.g " The doctor ordered that he BATHE his sprained fingers in tepid water"

Having known all these, I hope you were very delighted.

Please Op don't teach us nonsense

The black wallpaper thing works only if you're using an Amoled screen phone

Did they ask you for Court affidavit?

writerights:
Most places in Nigeria don't enjoy adequate power supply. I'm using a 1500mAH battery and I know it really sucks especially in towns where there is no power.

Which phone? In as much as 1500mah is not good, nonetheless, you can't say it must be at least 5000mah. Any battery from 3000mah and above is decent enough. iPhone users even have less than 2000mah in their very expensive phones yet they're surviving with it

U said 1gb ROM, wondering what you meant by that. Then did I see at least 5000mah battery there? U mean phones with lesser than 5000mah batteries are not good? You must be joking.

BuddhaPalm:
Not so fast...

There are steps.

A sedan can’t get you a trailer, but an SUV.

Then SUV => Mack Truck => Trailer => Train => Airplane

You gotta go through the steps man.

I hope you're not serious

Her Pastors said it

Her pastor that want to trick others to sow their cars too. Xmas is coming, more money needed.

I can say this op has nothing sensible to talk about. So Samsung phones don't have good batteries? Or fast charging? You may be talking about all those old Samsung phones. Let me educate you a bit, battery life is not a function of battery capacity. A 3000mah battery in some phones can last longer than a 4000mah battery in another phone. Why? Optimization, SoC used and the architecture. So please stop talking nonsense. I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 with 3000mah battery unit, it lasts a complete day with over 5.40hrs screen on time (SOT), data is always on, no power saving mode activated and 35% remaining by 9pm, if that's not strong enough for you, then you don't know what you're saying .
You want to talk about Samsung phones, talk about 2017 phones or shut the fùck up

Believe this and you will believe anything.
U sow car does not mean you must earn a car. People are so dumb these days. And who told you this thing is so spontaneous? Last week and this week you already have your reward! Shame on you people.
By the way how did you know that the car you received was tied to the supposed seed?

So it turns out that the only thing this girl has to offer are fat inflated breasts. Na wa oh
