Mecha 118 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 ok I must say, English is my second language, yet my English is better than most who ONLY speak English. so here's a few tips that I used when growing up to learn English easier: then/than "then" deals with time, it looks like "when" but with a "t", "than" is for comparison there/their "there" deals with placing, its like "here" with a "t" in front of it. "Their" is for belongings/relativity where/were/wear "where" deals with placing, its like "here" with a "w" in front of it "were" is plural and personal form of "was", looks like "we're" without apostrophy "Wear" is something you have on, like "ear" with a "w" in front here/hear "Here" means current place, "hear" is what you do with your "ear" just with an "h" in front apostrophies they are meant to shorten words, and its placed where the missing letter(s) is/are supposed to be Its not meant to make words plural (unless avbreviated) ex: He's = He is I'll = I will R.P.G.'s = correct Dollar's = incorrect they can also be used to describe a subject in relation to another subject ex: Carlito's Way = the way of Carlito Also, the correct phrase is "Could have/should have/would have" or "could've/should've/would've" for short "Could of/should of/would of" is incorrect there are a bunch of other common mistakes ppl make, but I cant remember them right now. I'll add them later :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mecha 118 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 because no matter how many times some people see the correct way, they still keep making the same mistakes over and over again. like they cant retain memory. so this is just to help them remember, so maybe they can finally learn. I'm not saying anyone is perfect. Certainly not me. It just gets annoying after a while. here's a little more: your/you're "Your" means "belonging to you", its like "our" just with a "y" in front "You're" is the abbreviated form of "you are". Just take the "a" out, apostrophy example affect/effect "Effect" is a noun. ex: "the effect of gravity" "Affect" is the verb Ex: you cant effect something, but you can affect it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azebu 92 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Don't be rude. Noted.But that's how it is. Most people here understand these basics, and those who only want to create mayhem will just ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
