Common Grammar Mistakes

[carmichael18]

has or have...

using does in a question.. since does is for singular, sometimes others would also add -s to the actual verb..

like "does is matters?" instead of "does it matter?"

eto pa...

was never and was never been... "been" should go with has, have, or had for present or past perfect tenses..

correct: I was never good enough for you.
incorrect: It was never been easy.

makikisali din ako, guilty din ako kasi minsan dito hahaha, share ko lang about prepositions nman :-)

Basic Prepositions: Time and Place - at, in, on and to

IN - We use in with months - in May
       seasons - in winter
       country - in Greece
       city or town names - in New York
       times of the day - in the morning, afternoon or evening
       BUT at night!

ON - We use "on" with specific days - on Friday, on New Year's Day, on April the 19th
      American English - "on the weekend OR on weekends"

AT - We use "at" with specific times - at 7 o'clock, at 6.15
       at night
       specific places in a city - at school
       British English - "at the weekend OR at weekends"

TO - We use "to" with verbs which show movement such as go and come - He goes to school.
       She returned to the store.
      They are coming to the party tonight

Medyo confuse ako sa Past Tense and Present Tense. .  Like had,have,has etc!.  Problem ko na yan eversince.

[empress]

use of LOSE vs. LOOSE

[--hana--]

Ang mga sumusunod ay examples of "irregular verbs" at di dapat dagdagan ng 'd' or 'ed' when forming the past tense: BID (say 'bade,' not bidded), COST, BROADCAST, CAST, SHUT (ansakit sa tenga ng 'broadcasted' at 'casted' or 'shutted'). As for "Fly," we say, "The bird flew (not flied)" and "the bird has flown (not FLEWN)." Understood? (Understanded?) lol.

love this thead talaga.
practice makes perfect. sa office EOP kami kahit mali mali grammar and english OK lang. pinagtatawanan na lang namin and correct each other. maski naman kano nagkakamali din eh. talamak nga yung "she/he dont live here anymore" sa mga customers namin.

e eto. ano ba ang tama. for example, after watching a game. is it "Lakers wins!" or "Lakers won!"? 

[twiist]

^Lakers won. Tapos na yung game, so past tense.

Except kung ikaw yung game commentator, kasi you're supposed to be commenting on the game real-time.

Tuck-in/tuck-out

Dapat tuck/untuck.

[fegloria1954]

In spoken English, common mistake is to us "he" when what is appropriate is "she"

"the most cheapest" - redundant kasi most na, cheapest pa. Things like that

grammatically incorrect no. pero lagi kong naririnig yan sa American movies. Hmm. Bat ganon. hehe 

[ReservoirDogs]

Eto common grammatical error sa FB, forum, etc.: "I'm CRAVING FOR".  If you're using the word Craving as a verb, do not add "FOR".  Para kasing sinabi mo ring "I'm DESIRING FOR YOU", which is grammatically incorrect.  If you're familiar with the song "I CRAVE" ni Marc Dorsey, the song goes like, "I crave your touch, i crave your blah blah".  That's grammatically correct, lol.   However, if you're using CRAVING as a noun, it's grammatically correct to add FOR after it, such as I have a CRAVING FOR mangoes.

Other grammatical errors:  luggages, evidences, informations, jewelries.  Di dapat naka-plural form.

Marami ring nalilito sa could, can, would, and will; I'm guilty of that. Meron na siguro post about it dito.

We Filipinos interchange he and she but ang sabi dyan, wala kasi tayong he and she sa Tagalog.  Pronouns natin dito ay Siya, Kanila - hindi based on gender.  Kaya normal lang daw na nagpapalit natin yun.

furnitures - furniture

thank u sis for this, mas naintindihan na ng husband ko ngayon kung bakit minsan nalilito mga ibang Pinoy sa pag gamit ng he and she, na explain ko sa kanya itong sinabi mo

I like this thread very informative, marami learnings na makukuha

ito share ko minsan nababasa ko ito 'coming soon, watch out for these items' they are referring to the stuff they were going to sell, it should be like this 'watch for these items will be available soon'

ito din winner, how some people use the word sibling/s when they mean children.

[silverlilac]

[babyjapnurse01]

[ReservoirDogs]

Ito kakabasa ko lang sa twitter ng common friend, he he he:

Master bedroom, not Master's bedroom.  kasi it's like saying master switch, not master's switch. :p  I'm guilty of using master's bedroom.
