Common Grammar Mistakes

[Lady Czarina]

but remember that gonna and gotta are slang words, it's not proper to use it in official letters or formal letters..may nababasa kasi akong ganon, emails to bosses or clients gagamit ng gonna, it is not right..

[tipC_shoegal]

^Of course, those words are slang and are not really supposed to be used in formal communication because it's considered to be out of place for an office/business setting. I myself am very careful in using such words.

[FOURever]

i don't use it din sa formal writing pero sa fb pag may nababasa ako, napapaisip din ako.. At pag ako din nagpopost careful din ako lalo na sa gotta naconfuse ako dito before

[Lady Czarina]

yeah sa social networking sites/blogs, i think it's ok to use those words.. basta wag lang sa formal/business letters.. ako i don't use these words, kasi parang nakakagulo lang lalo hehe..

^madali lang yan sis, asawa ko rin nalilito dyan. ganito lang yan....kapag C ang mauna, tignan mo pakurba yung letter di ba? so pakurba rin isunod mo which is "e". tapos kapag L naman una, (eg relieve, believe) di ba vertical yung L, so vertical din sunod which is letter "i". yan tinuro ko sa mister ko, hindi na sya nalito

^ just follow ALICE.  our grade school teacher taught us this trick.

A little OT: I think ang laki ng effect ng autocorrect ng ms word at mga smartphone sa spelling at grammar natin.

I grew up na windows 3.x palang and wala pang ganun ka-intuitive na spellcheck. Feeling ko kaya medyo ok ako sa spelling and grammar.

I'm not saying I'm great, pero I feel that overall I'm good-ish.

Minsan kasi, kapag nagkakamali tayo, mas natatandaan natin and we remember not to make the same mistake.

Ngayon kasi, these smart tools make us dumb, because they correct our mistakes for us.

"I before E, except after C, or when sounded as A, as in neighbour or weigh"

FOODS! its just FOOD.Kahit isang table pa ang nakahanda sa table.
FEEDBACKS!I always see this. Its just plain FEEDBACK.
May nakita ako sa isang Hotel. " NO LEFTOVER PLS!" sa buffet.Its usually used as plural, with an S.

Nakakatuwa basahin tong thread na to.  Natuturn off ako sa mga pinipilit mag-English kahit wrong grammar. Sana mag-Tagalog na lang sila. Naalala ko tuloy yung isang candidate nung Bb. Pilipinas, sinabihan na ngang okay lang mag-Tagalog, pinilit pa rin. Mali-mali pa naman. 

[shyreen]

di ako komportable sa inemail ko kahapon sabi ko dun sa last part,
"I will keep you informed once they communicated their final decision regarding this"
ok lang ba? parang mas maganda kasi kung "I will inform you once they communicated their final decision regarding this"

ano sa tingin nyo mga sis?

[hazelbrown_eyes27]

@Kyuza- Correct! di naman kasi comfortable sa English, pinag pilitan pa niya mag english! Pinayagan na nga ni Miss Hontiveros na sumagot sa lenguaheng mas kumportable siya.. Hay! Pakitang gilas pa kasi..

sikat si feedbackS sa ecommerce kaya siguro nagiging 'popular'

Maybe try to shorten it, the shortest and simplest way. That usually keeps me from making mistakes, I still do though, anyway, I prefer: Once they communicate their final decision, I will inform you.

In general, I'm not too bothered with wrong grammar, as long as naiintindihan ko yung message na gusto i-communicate,  mas na-b-bother ako sa mga pinipilit magmukhang magaling, using complicated adverbs and adjectives.

isa sa na lagi kong nadidinig na mali

"maam paki fill up na lang po itong form" dapat fill out
fill up (to fill completely ex. fill up a glass; to fill up a fuel tank)
fill out (to complete. a document, list, etc.)

[hazelbrown_eyes27]

I remember Delivery Manager ng company nag tweet siya.

" Ano ba dapat kong ilagay? Fill in, Fill up or Fill out the form?" So I replied to her tweet.
 " Its Fill in the Blank, Fill up a glass or pail and Fill out the form"

She Deleted my Tweet! I guess, may mga tao na di matanggap na kino correct sila ng mas mababang rank sa kanila. It must be the EGO!

natuwa ako sa thread na to...very informative, thank you mga sis.
