Common Grammar Mistakes

[entwife]

Struck is already the past tense of strike. So redundnat kung may -ed pa.

[mrsonthego]

^ah okay, past tense ng strike? thanks a lot!

 nakakahiya naman ako!

[entwife]

May mga nakakalito talaga. Sometimes, bibigkasin ko muna tapos kung ano mas tama pakinggan yun ang ginagamit ko. Hehe
Example: For who?
For whom?

stuck on vs stuck at

which is correct: stuck on level 1 or stuck at level 1?

I think both can be used.

At usually pertains to a specific place in reference to a general place. e.g. at the left wing (of the mall), at the backyard (of the house).

On usually pertains to a flat surface. On the table, on the bus (esp. when talking about yourself riding the bus), etc.

In this case, level (or floor) is also a flat surface where you can stand so pwede rin yun Pwede ring at kasi specific area din sya ng whatever building.

with regards to...

as regards
with regard

Missed or miss? I missed my husband or I miss my husband

[rae]

^ If you're currently missing your husband:

I miss my husband.

If you missed him for a time:

"I missed my husband when he was abroad" - you don't miss him anymore because he's home now.

Pwede din in this scenario:

"I missed the husband who loved me no matter what" - you don't miss him anymore because you're over him.

prepositions. buti na lang matiyaga sumagot si bf pag nagtatanong ako

[whatseatingven]

IRREGARDLESS

I can't believe may mga taong gumagamit nito on a regular basis (*cough* my boss)

[ohcmon]

Another pet peeve of mine is using objects of the prepositions as the bases of the verb, when it should be the subject itself.

Example: A box of chocolates has been waiting for you since this morning.

Has been/singular kasi the subject of the sentence is box, and chocolates is the object of the preposition "of".

common mistake: will going to + verb

should be: am/is/are going to + verb in the base form
                will + verb in the base form

[minatay91]

Wow! I realized some mistakes dito rin.

This is why I hate going to facebook nakakabobo sa english

"Girl, let him be. It's his lost not your's. You did'nt lost much. You loose someone who never
care for you anways!"

I have a protip:

If you don't know whether to use "affect" or "effect" just use the word "impact"
lechels dapat mag.tagalog/dialect nalang sila nakabobo yung english!!!!!!!

"Can we start again from the very top once more please? Ikaw na you can be a bit more better!"

madalas ko nakikita sa mga pawnshop,  jewelries  pero ang alam ko jewelry is used for both the singular and plural
tama??

[inluvewithmikewesten]

Madalas ko marining:
 "for the meantime"
 and yong friend ko ang lakas pa ng boses sa calls madalas niya gamit yong "was been". Ako nahihiya para sa kanya.
Also the term "trainor". There's no such thing. Another friend always says. "I'll gonna...".
Me naman personally I'm sometimes confused when to use "had" or "has".

[kiminsan]

common  mistake na naririnig ko:
use of look forward in a sentence.

WRONG: I look forward to meet you.
RIGHT: I look forward to meeting you.

[shineadet]

ako naman hirap ako sa mga prepositions.
one example is:
interested in
interested on
interested at
interested about
which is which??? i always get confused.

[MrsKolca]

^ang alam ko dyan sis ganito..

interested in (future)
interested to (past)

for example:

I am interested in reading books. That means interesado ka sa pagbabasa ng book sa kasalukuyan.
I was in interested to check her purse. Ito naman, nagawa mo na sya. You checked her purse kasi naging interesado ka dito.
