Both are incorrect in this context of expression meaning to be able to recite something. Its. " by heart" "I know it by heart" ,"I can say it by heart" " I can recite it by heart". Modified. Those arguing with me go study about contextual and literal meaning. I can't help you biko. 102 Likes 7 Shares |

Melagros: Its for the purpose of easy communication, yes! If the English language is not so important why are you using to communicate me? Why are people sending their wards to school to learn it? I don't understand the hate on the English language when it in fact makes life easier for us considering we don't understand our different dialects and languages even as people of same nationality. 11 Likes 1 Share |
