Samstyle:
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.

It's sad to see when someone claims to be correcting another person ends up making worse mistakes and errors. Before you posted this, it would have been better you took some time to check them up first.

Maybe her spiritual husband is around and she can't divide her time between you both.

Hmmm... For someone who is a big fan of Greek myths, you should know that the Greek gods drank Ambrosia and not Elixir. Elixir is just another name for potions basically. Something which the Greek gods don't need for their looks else Hephaestus wouldn't have been ugly.

You're wrong in number 12. Boast about is very correct.

Lol. Even his moniker is suspicious. Onyeasi means Liar in Igbo.

Moral of the story. Always buy from good brands that maintain good standards. Eg. Samsung, Huawei, Sony, HTC, etc.

Another issue with piggybank. There is no option to disable autosave and no option to close your account. This means that you can't stop them from automatically withdrawing money from your card nor close your account with them. That is a huge red flag. If anyone knows how to do any of the above, kindly share please.

There is really nothing new here except for a change of name, easycliq to morecliq, easyflex to moreflex etc. The plans are still essentially the same with no improvement.

Never again will Nigeria be ruled by a dullard.

Don't be deceived.
The ability to speak and write good English is a measure of an individual's intelligence

She's bad at written English,

Microsoft's 'Games with Gold' feature is awesome.

It kinda makes more financial sense, especially if you're not attached to any/most particular games/genres.
Instead of paying £20 - £50 on a game, I can just pay about £5/month and enjoy a few top quality games for free (plus all the other Live Gold benefits: eg Twitch streaming)

I installed 'Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris' and spent a day playing it. Not bad. Last time I played Tombraider game was more than 10 years ago (on PC), and I didn't finish it although I went quite far.

That's nice. By the way, I have an unused 12 months Xbox live Gold code for sale. Anyone interested can hit me up.
