[B]Yeah definitely, I get it now. But Zuhaib Bhai, believe it or not, I have seen Masters of English who make this very mistake without knowing what they actually do. And Bhai Jan, funny thing is if you notice it a bit, it seems that ONE OF MY FRIEND is correct, whereas it's not actually that way; that's why people slip out.[/B]

Common errors
 
[B]Crisis[/B]

We do a common mistake when we use word Crisis.

Like:

There are many crisis in Pakistan.

It is wrong.

We understand CRISIS is a plural noun. But, it is not.

Crisis is a singular noun and [B]CRISES[/B] is a plural noun.

So, the correct one is:

There are many [B]crises[/B] in Pakistan.

[B]Although [/B]

We do a common mistake when we use Although.

Like:

Although, he is my enemy, yet I forgive him.

It is wrong.

Although, he is my enemy, I forgive him.

It is correct.

Remember it!

[B]Although is not followed by YET OR BUT.[/B]

Coomon errors
 
[B]Good And Well[/B]

We do a common mistake when we use good as an adverb.

Like:

He has done good.
He does good. These are incorrect.

Good is an adjective and [B]well[/B] is an adverb of Good.

He has done well.
He does well. These are correct.

Use WELL as an adverb.

@ shaw

Yeah definitely, I get it now. But Zuhaib Bhai, believe it or not, I have seen Masters of English who make this very mistake without knowing what they actually do. And Bhai Jan, funny thing is if you notice it a bit, it seems that [B]ONE OF MY FRIEND[/B] is correct, whereas it's not actually that way; that's why people slip out.

dear don't take amiss of my talk but this should be like this
one of my friends ..

correct me if i am wrong

Shaw Saturday, March 24, 2012 08:43 PM

[B]My dear! I really mean what you wanna correct me for. You please just notice the way how I expressed it:"...it seems that ONE OF MY FRIEND is correct, whereas it's not actually that way..." means it seems that it is right, but actually it isn't. You please just see this as well why I wrote it in the capitals!

Hope you get it![/B]

[B]It is HONOUR not HOUNOUR.

Colour is a British word.
Color is an American word.
Honour is a British word.
Honor is an American word.

We prefer Colour and Honour because we follow British Language. [/B]

It is wrong.

Although, he is my enemy, I forgive him.

It is correct.

[B]Although is not followed by YET OR BUT.[/B][/QUOTE]

[B][SIZE="4"]Though/Although ..... yet[/SIZE][/B]
[B]1). When though is used with a verb in the subjunctive mood (expressing doubt, a condition contrary-to-fact, a wish, a concession) is followed by yet and not by but;

Though he might not have recognized me, yet it is rude of him.
Though she disallowed me, yet I will go to her.
Though he is poor, yet he is respected.

2). When though is used with a verb in indicative mood (expressing a fact or making a statement) a comma is used in place of yet.

Though he is my relation, I shall not spare him.
Though she is known to me, I shall not favour her.[/B]
