Correct your English op
No3 , how can you say "and then" at the same time. It should be "then" leave "and" out if it.

DANDeGENERAL:
10. ‘WHO’ VS. ‘WHOM’Use “who” to refer to the subject of a sentence and “whom” to refer to the object of the verb or preposition. Shortcut: Remember that who does it to whom.Example: Who ate my sandwich?Example: Whom should I ask?

11. ‘WHOSE’ VS. ‘WHO’S’Use “whose” to assign ownership to someone and “who’s” as the contraction of “who is.”Example: Whose backpack is on that table?Example: Who’s going to the movies tonight?

12. ‘I’ VS. ‘ME’Use “I” when you are the subject of a sentence and “me” when you are the object.Example: John and I went to the store to buy some food.Example: The cashier handed the groceries to John and me.

"I see him everyday". This is present continuous .

what if you usually see him everyday but not anymore?

can you express that in a past tense?

Grammar, grammar

Grammar, grammar

Grammar NO BE MY LANGUAGE!

ezzylee:
The first and major grammatical error that annoys me is the use OF AM in the place of I'M e.g "am coming to your house" instead of "I'm coming to your house"

Second is the use of IS in the place of IT'S e.g "is time to go home" instead of "it's time to go home"

Bigii:
Out of it

All it takes is a single tweet or text for some people to reveal their poor grasp of the English language.Homophones — words that sound alike but are spelled differently — can be particularly pesky.Regardless, you should never choose incorrectly in these nine situations:

1. ‘YOUR’ VS. ‘YOU’RE’“Your” is a possessive pronoun, while “you’re” is a contraction of “you are.”Example 1: You’re pretty.Example 2: Give me some of your whiskey.

2. ‘IT’S’ VS. ‘ITS’Normally, an apostrophe symbolizes possession, as in, “I took the dog’s bone.” But because apostrophes also replace omitted letters — as in “don’t” — the “it’s” vs. “its” decision gets complicated.Use “its” as the possessive pronoun and “it’s” for the shortened version of “it is.”Example 1: The dog chewed on its bone.Example 2: It’s raining

3. ‘THEN’ VS. ‘THAN’“Then” conveys time, while “than” is used for comparison.Example 1: We left the party and then went home.Example 2: We would rather go home than stay at the party.

4. ‘THERE’ VS. ‘THEY’RE’ VS. ‘THEIR’“There” is a location. “Their” is a possessive pronoun. And “they’re” is a contraction of “they are.”Use them wisely.

5. ‘WE’RE’ VS. ‘WERE’“We’re” is a contraction of “we are” and “were” is the past tense of “are.”

6. ‘AFFECT’ VS. ‘EFFECT’“Affect” is a verb and “effect” is a noun.There are, however, rare exceptions. For example, someone can “effect change” and “affect” can be a psychological symptom.Example: How did that affect you?Example: What effect did that have on you?

7. ‘TWO’ VS. ‘TOO’ VS. ‘TO’“Two” is a number.“To” is a preposition. It’s used to express motion, although often not literally, toward a person, place, or thing.And “too” is a synonym for “also.”

8. ‘INTO’ VS. ‘IN TO’“Into” is a preposition that indicates movement or transformation, while “in to,” as two separate words, does not.Example: We drove the car into the lake.Example: I turned my test in to the teacher.In the latter example, if you wrote “into,” you’re implying you literally changed your test into your teacher.

9. ‘ALOT’“Alot” isn’t a word. This phrase is always two separate words: a lot.

10. ‘WHO’ VS. ‘WHOM’Use “who” to refer to the subject of a sentence and “whom” to refer to the object of the verb or preposition. Shortcut: Remember that who does it to whom.Example: Who ate my sandwich?Example: Whom should I ask?

11. ‘WHOSE’ VS. ‘WHO’S’Use “whose” to assign ownership to someone and “who’s” as the contraction of “who is.”Example: Whose backpack is on that table?Example: Who’s going to the movies tonight?

12. ‘I’ VS. ‘ME’Use “I” when you are the subject of a sentence and “me” when you are the object.Example: John and I went to the store to buy some food.Example: The cashier handed the groceries to John and me.

13. ‘PEAK’ VS. ‘PIQUE’Use “peak” when describing the highest point or maximum value and “pique” when you are talking about stimulating curiosity.Example: I hiked to the peak of the mountain.Example: The fascinating prior experience her résumé piqued my interest.

To save me time, I culled this directly from a site.

'Who' is a subject pronoun like 'he', 'she' and 'they'. We use 'who' to ask which person did an action or which person is in a certain state.
Who wrote that letter?
Who is the manager?
Who is going to prepare dinner?

'Whom' is an object pronoun like 'him', 'her' and 'us'. We use ‘whom’ to ask which person received an action.
Whom are you going to ask to the party?
Whom did they choose as team captain?
Whom did they summon?

'Whose' is a possessive pronoun like 'his', and 'our'. We use 'whose' to find out which person something belongs to.
Whose phone is this?
Whose is this umbrella?
Whose car is blocking the drive?

"I see him everyday". This is present continuous .
what if you usually see him everyday but not anymore?
can you express that in a past tense?

Please stop all this nonsense! Who has English helped? People in England don't even bother so much about correct grammar like we do. English is not our mother tongue. Let's concentrate more on making our country a better place
