Hello there,
In this entry i want to talk about errors! Ya...forming errors in speaking and writing english is very common to us. However, if the errors are too obvious which can easily spotted by others especially in speaking,it is very embarassing!
Amongst the popular errors made by many users/speakers are in the use of :
1. Question Tags
QT is not really a question.It is a way of making conversation by asking the listener to agree with us.
We didn't play very well today,did we?
Daddy went to work this morning,didn't he?
I've got ten fingers,haven't I?
It's a lovely day,isn't it?
These are a few correct form of QT that should be used in speaking. Unfortunately, I always come accross English users especially Malaysians who are very keen on using the QT "isn't it". In fact, 'isn't it' is used in all situation,but the usage is wrong. These are examples of mistakes done :
I think she's very pretty, isn't it?
This lecturer is so boring,isn't it?
She has lovely voice,isn't it?
Those kids are so cute, isn't it?
Ha..ha! Can you spot on the errors? They're very clear, right?
So,watch out! Get rid of making the same errors.It's very annoying and embarassing!
Bye-bye for now, till i write again on more errors in next entry.
