The 2 Most Common Grammar Mistakes - and More!

The 2 Most Common Grammar Mistakes

Gone are the days when students learn grammar rules in school. Is this a good thing? Those of us who were tortured with hours of parsing sentences will most likely say it is a good thing…those who lament the atrocious grammar skills of today will probably say it has resulted in a corruption of the English language.
Whatever your opinion, there are a few facts that do hold true. Those who speak correct English are viewed as more intelligent (perception is everything??) and they tend to hold higher paying jobs.
While there are many grammar rules which are so obscure and irrelevant they are not worth considering, there are a few grammar gems we should all strive to obey:

1. GOOD & WELL

Listen to most conversations and you will hear this glaring error several times.
‘Hi. How are you?’
‘Hi. I’m doing good.’
‘How is you wife?’
‘She’s good.’
Doing good means you are doing good deeds….doing good things. It does not mean you are healthy, happy etc…
The correct response is: ‘I’m doing well.’

May & Can

This error is committed so many times, most people consider it the correct usage:
‘Can I use the washroom?’
The use of ‘can’ in this context means are you able to do something. In this case one would hope the person knows how to use a washroom!
The correct way to ask permission is to use ‘may’.
If you are interested in seeing more errors that most of us commit, please refer to this blog post by Jon Gingerich, 20 Common Grammar Mistakes.
If you are wanting to improve your spoken or written English, Lernit Tutoring Services can provide you with an experienced, qualified, caring English tutor who will help you to realize your learning goals.

Questions Every Teacher Should Be Able To Answer

For most of us, the sense of panic when presented with a Course Outline is thankfully a distant memory. For myself, the memory is not a fond one and it sometimes is the topic of an unpleasant dream. Such was the seeming life sentence for the secondary and post-secondary years: suck it up and do what is expected - do not question.
While the curriculum for secondary and post-secondary courses is very cut-and-dry, such is not the case with elementary education. While there is a prescribed curriculum, the teacher has more flexibility in deciding what, when and how a subject/topic is covered.
It is this flexibility and the immaturity of the young students that prompts many parents to take an active and vigilant role in their child's education.
Terry Heick, in his blog entry entitled, 19 Meaningful Questions You Should Ask Your Child's Teacher, looks at how parents can take a meaningful look at what is actually happening in their child's classroom.
While these 19 questions are not carved in stone, they do provide parents with a starting point for finding out more about the teaching style of the person who is working with their child. Are there more, or other questions a parent could ask? Certainly, and Heick's list will light the fire for further investigation.
Ideally, it would be beneficial if elementary teachers would forgo any curriculum outline, and focus more on providing parents with answers to these types of questions.
P.S. Be sure to read the Comments - they provide a lot of additional insight.
