The illiterate wouldn't just keep shut. Certainly, I'm done with Brighter Grammar and I don't go about with. It is useful for people like u to avoid all these embarrassments. But why insisting on the 'outdated' Brighter Grammar when it can be googled immediately? This is something that is available all over the Internet for even jss pupils. Hehehe, this people sef, una no go kee me with laff oh! Na me get Google? I can't just come to terms with the fact that a graduate doesn't know the difference between singular and plural verbs. Well, we learn everyday, I have learnt something new today.

And I've failed to even wonder about the nonsense the internet vomit these days.

If you have an ounce of 'sense' in that brain of yours, you'd know that anybody can post anything on the internet these days, especially now when data is cheap like a 500 naira prostitute.

The image you posted about singular verbs and whatever mundane nonsense your brain thought best to post is just an image, nothing more. In an intelligent discourse like this, it holds no water because no one knows who posted it, and even if the person is known, is the person concretely trained, tutored and nurtured in the English language?

Now this is the difference between reading hard copy books, and soft copy books. I asked you to use Brighter Grammar to back up your position because the author of Brighter Grammar is well recognised. Savvy?

This thing can't read between the lines.
So, u are confusing knowledge with intelligence again? Nawao! Where do I start from? So, u mean u don't also know the difference between being intelligent and having knowledge? Choi.

Did you read me compare intelligence with Knowledge? Or is your incomprehensible brain that lacks understanding churning out hogwash posts?

Okay, drive this into ur pot; knowledge is acquired while intelligence is inborn. So, stop bringing all those Socrates, Plato things here.

So you're saying Socrates, Plato etc aren't intelligent and knowledgeable or what? "Knowledge is acquired while intelligence is inborn" gosh! You're such an academic recluse. You're a disgrace!.

Equally funny is the fact that this thing is still arguing about GNS in the university? Nawao! So because GNS is not coded with ENG*** it has nothing to do with English? But who takes "Uses of English"? Is it not lecturers from English department? What do u even understand by the course "Uses of English"?

Dude! Please continue to shut up. Do engineering students offer English courses all through their five years in school?

Stop shaming yourself, your university and your parents, please. It's embarrassing.

kabrud:
Pls don't run away, come and defend ur English.
Cos it baffles me how a so-called graduate cannot say the difference between singular and plural verbs.

And it baffles me how a nobody can readily believe just because one understand English perfectly, he is knowledgeable.

And did you read me say I'm a graduate? It seem assumption is now another trait you've added to your show of shame and ignorance.

kabrud:
If I had any reason to doubt, the doubt has been completely cleared. This is the problem, I am sure you don't even understand the analysis I was trying to make. Who outdated Brighter Grammar? who told you the lessons thought by the book is no longer applicable in English? Infact, to even say it is outdated is the height of ignorance.
Meanwhile, if u don't have comprehension problem, I will like u to point out for me where I said "addition of 's' to a verb changes it to a noun"

Now let me make it a bit more simple for u.
He plays football
They play football.
In the sentences above, the first one has 'he' which is a third person singular and it takes only a singular verb and u make a verb singular by adding 's' unlike noun which addition of 's' makes it plural.
Hence, he plays football is correct.

The second case has 'they' which is a third person plural and as such, it takes a plural verb which is obtained by writing the verb in its simple present without adding 's'.
Hence, they play football.

Show me your position about this using Brighter Grammar, not with the aid of google.

I'm starting to believe you belong to the indomie generation. Prove me wrong, dude.

There is no way an individual will become a formal professional, trained in Nigeria, that if he can't write well in English, he can ever be taken serious because if he actually passed through the necessary training, he should have mastered English language which is the medium of instruction.

Are you for real? This is Nigeria we're talking about? Who takes people who speak perfect grammar serious? When there's no money in their pocket, that is. Lol. You're truly hilarious.

Well, I read engineering and the last time I checked, Uses of English is a course under English department. Meanwhile, if u passed through any institution of higher learning, u would have known the content of that course and since u have shamelessly and ignorantly concluded that GST is not about English, I only weep for Nigeria educational system.

My friend will you shut up! Instead of you to weep for Nigeria, you should weep for yourself and the ignorance you spread so shamelessly.

Engineering students don't offer courses in English language, they offer GNS and GST courses. Did the course code in your school say it's ENG111 and ENG121 or GNS/GST 111 or 121? Nigeria People and Culture, Use of English and one other are the subjects (science) under GST/GNS. So what are you yapping about?

Dude, stop spreading your vile ignorance, it stinks. Stop thinking everyone can be cajole my your mannerless understanding of what it means to have knowledge.

This was your earlier post:

kabrud:
But why should someone who claims to have knowledge write like this? Is this English?

Above, you shamelessly and blatantly opined that having knowledge, mean having sound understanding and scripting of the English language when we know Socrates, Aristotle, Plato and the likes didn't even speak English language. So I wonder why you still shamelessly feel the need to further embarrass yourself?.

Bitterleafsoup:
He will not, this attention we are giving him is blowing his head lol. Lets ignore him now.

I see...

kabrud:
U should have simply kept quiet rather than displaying outright ignorance.

He plays football.
He play football.
'He' is third person singular, and by ur understanding, the second statement is correct, right?
Boy, get urself Brighter Grammar and stop displaying ignorance here.
The rule of adding 's' to nouns thereby making them plural does not apply to verbs.

So by adding 's' to claim you made it a noun, right? Dude, are you for real? Or by adding 's' to play you make it a noun?

Brother, I have no idea what you're yapping about. And take note. Brighter Grammar is outdated, it's not in use in schools anymore. You should read Mastering English. It can help your case.

You should try and know the difference between 'present tense' and 'present continuous'.

Hehehe, engineers, doctors, lawyers, economists, accountants etc acquired knowledge by mere observing I guess, hahahaha. Learning? How do u learn pls, also by mere observing?

Did you read me say, learning alone or learning and observing together? Stop confusing yourself, bro.

Our language of instruction in Nigeria is English and having acquired knowledge through it, it is expected that one should be proficient in it cos it is a basic tool properly used in the learning process.
Why do engineering students pass through courses in English departments? U think it is just for the fun of it?
Continue.

LMFAO! Dude! You're a joke. If you readily think going to school literally translate to knowledge, then, you're the ignorant one.

An engineer, a doctor, a nurse, an accountant etc, are limited in their knowledge because they only have knowledge on a particular field of study, that makes them whole fully ignorant in other aspect of knowledge.

Engineering student don't pass through courses in English language, bro. I believe they take GNS courses or GST courses. It's called 'General Studies' which of course, include English Language. So saying engineering student take English show you don't even know what goes on inside the four walls of a university. I suggest you keep mute from now on.

Bitterleafsoup:
Thats why I love you I can spot intelligence from thousands of miles away!

LOL. I'm not intelligent. I'm just me.

kabrud:
Language and knowledge are very related and the former facilitates acquisition of the latter. How do u seek for knowledge? Is it by just sitting down be assuming u have it? It is acquired through a medium of course, and poor understanding of that medium renders the acquisition of the knowledge alongside the knowledge so obtained, faulty.

Language and knowledge, even if it's related, absolutely has nothing to do with each other. Knowledge is acquired through learning and observing. Language on the other hand is something that people understand, even if it's learnt or studied. It has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge.

Meanwhile, why did u cross 'claims'? Are u giving me the impression that it is wrong?

Anyway, if that is the case, get it now; that is a verb in the simple present and it is an action by a third person singular, so how do u write it? Claim or claimed?

Third person singular, and it has an 's' there? Wow!

Anyway, what do I know. I don't bother myself about the White Man's language. It's always my pleasure to twist and abuse it the way I see fit.

kabrud:
But why should someone who claims to have knowledge write like this? Is this English?

What has writing good English got to do with knowledge?

Only the ignorant are still supporting the worst leadership in naijungo history.

Learn to follow your own advice.

Thank you very much.

omenkaLives:
The op responded to kabrud's first comment saying "you think everybody is a bigoted lowlife?" and that made me lmao!

If anything at all, their support now betrays without a doubt how extremely bigoted they are! If Osinbajo were a Muslim, would they support him? The answer is a capital NO!

If you're the same person as Omenka, know that you, tonyebarcanista, passingshot and the rest of the league of blind followers, Nairaland version, are among the problem we have in this country.

Bitterleafsoup:
Wrong because he was old and sick coughing in interviews as I showed you during the election race.
A man without education and wisdom armed only with a NEPA bill, I would not wish him on my worst enemy.

I have nothing against Fulani or Hausa people. You can not judge a whole people or religion by actions of a few deranged fellows, living in poverty and ignorance controlled by greedy Northern Elite that care nothing for their own people.

LOL. But he wasn't 'old' and sick when he was campaigning in 2015, was he?

I'm sure you know leadership has absolutely nothing to do with having degrees or even certificate, after all, Jonathan have degrees and certificates, we all know how he fared.

Bitterleafsoup:
Yes I support him 100%

Cos he's not Hausa/Fulani, right? And not from the north.

Bitterleafsoup:
On my facebook I am seeing overwhelming support for our President in waiting.

I'm sure you love the sight of it.

In football, now! Is what matters.

What was the reason she gave for doing something this wicked and inhuman?

Superman7:
So you're now tired of being quoted? hahahaha, I know why, you're tired of borrowing money to buy data to reply me.
Poor dude wants to remain online, but He can't afford it, now he cries online for people to stop quoting him. hahahahaha...
How much have you borrowed so far, i pity your entire family, you've succeeded in putting them in huge debts that will remain unpaid before you die. borrow more, let this converse continue and I tell you, your creditors will soon jail you and you'll remain there for life.

How do you know I borrow data? Kindly provide proof I borrow data.

Bastard baboon. Now it's assuming eh? You're still an estranged bonobo monkey. Just how much of a loser, are you, simpleton?

You think everybody is as foolish and stupid like you? Please spare us your diatribe of bias assumption that even a passive zombie won't even want to listen to.

To think you even have Superman as your moniker, I wonder how many shade of super foolishness you exhibit, mongrel.

Frustrated sodomized bedbug! Continue being foolish and keep crying wolf that your mama didn't feed your breast milk.

Inconsequential first class bastard. Your parents should truly be ashamed for producing a first class failure like you.

Eat sh1t and die the loser you're born to be. Stupid simpleton.

Superman7:
Breast sucker is frustrated after sucking all the cheap breasts in town, you're now hopeless, you can't afford to pay for breasts to suck anymore. Poor dude wants to live big but the cost is too high.
If only you knew where your problem lies, you would have been helped, but you don't even know where to start from.
Remain confused till you die

Oh shut up, you incoherent bastard!.

You're still a loser and an un-intelligent first class poser.

I can just imagine how you're pained you ain't getting no breast sucking. Oh poor child, your mama must hate you this much to even not let you suck her breast, talk less touch them.

You poor bastard, there's light at the end of the tunnel. Just reach down and suck your own dick to allay you maligned existence.

You marooned moonstruck mongrel. Be a man and mind your business. You frustrated ill breed wimp!.

Think twice before you quote me and let sense descend on your brain dead head.

You're still a disgrace, you know. Bitch ass nigga!.

charijee:
[color=deeppink]Stop defending your people cluelessly...this is just a made up story .....
Where, when and how did this happen?
The Okrikans as we all know are surrounded by water and have less lands hence they keep encroaching on Eleme lands...need I remind you that the indigenes of Ekporo in Eleme have long been chased from their community and the community declared a military zone .....A similar thing happened to the indigenes of Alode where a vast area of their farmlands were forcefully taken from them (courtesy of the former first lady) and sold out to whoever cared to buy.

You can go on and on spewing trash ,it doesn't change anything

When I call Tonyebarcanista a manipulator of the truth, spreader of falsehood and deceit, people say I attack him without cause.

Hope you can see for yourself?

Superman7:
Shut up! You corrupt breast sucking idiot. All the children around you must seriously be in danger. You lack manners and you're doomed

You're the one who is doomed, you wretched son of a gun.

Eat dirt a die a loser and know you'll forever be a loser and a dirt pile of mundane nonsense.

Pig.

I believe the senate may find the acting president a 'tuff' customer than the president.

Words and phrases. been a while I heard or saw a person (government official) who took time to read and understand. LOL.
