U cannot say frm
nowhenceforth" but rather they shuold be used separately....I.e they can be use separately......henceforth no one should come here.....or frm no on no one shoulkd come here

tosyne2much:
an RCCG member of course.. Most times, the pronunciation of some words warrant you have to choose for yourself which one to go with (a/an). Sometimes, the decision to use a\an lies in the hand of an individual depending on how it sounds. Are you getting me ?

I was told a is for words that begins with a consonant word,and an is for words that begins with vowel

shokky24:

yes "a" goes with words that starts with vowels while "an" goes with words that starts with consonants but you know there are some exceptions in English.. Sometimes it doesn't matter if a word starts with consonant or vowels, you just have to use "an"

shokky24:

Mind you, some words are spelt beginning wiv a consonant but u takes a vowel pronunciation....so the sound comes into play here...

Ok

People do say "go - and" which sounds like "goan" Eg: i want to go and fetch water.
Tis wrong.the right thing to say is I want to fetch water.

A very interesting and educative compilation. Thumbs up @op.

thank you boss

1 Alcohol does not make you high but drunk.
Drugs make you high while alcohol makes you drunk , therefore, it is wrong to say you are high when you take alcohol


3. Extreme end can't go together, you have to use them separately. E.g I went to the extreme end of the mountain, it ought to be "I went to the extreme of the mountain" or I went to the end of the road


8. You cannot forget what you can see. E.g I forget my pencil at home. It ought to be I left my pencil at home

9. You cannot say ''I enjoyed the party " but" I enjoyed myself at the party''



Feel free to add yours

It's of no doubt that my write up will come with flaws, pls just feel free to correct me where necessary because nobody is an island of knowledge when it comes to speaking or writing Standard English

We are all learning

I am guilty of 1, 3, 8, and 9. A lot of people are guilty of "8" in Nigeria. And with number 1, I always wonder why people say they are high when they didn't smoke weed. But I started saying it after a while cos I was influenced by everyone saying it. But at the back of my mind I have always known that it was wrong grammar. With 3, people just picked that up as they grew up I guess. A lot of people are guilty of that error.

guilty of 1,8 and 9
