Question

In our English 1 class, we are required to post a short paragraph talking about anything related to English usage and learning in our class blog. I was not yet picked to be a poster for this week, but I want to be prepared for when I get picked. So, can anyone please suggest what topics would be interesting to talk about?

Answer 1

hmm common grammatical errors? i mean why do people commit the same common mistakes in English grammar? For example is than and then. also the subject-verb agreements and the use of "did" and "do"

Answer 2

English is a difficult language to learn for many reasons. Here are a few examples:

There, they're, and their.
To, too, and two.

Here are 21 sentences that a non-native speaker might find a little confusing. This would be a great topic. The problem is keeping it to just one paragraph.

1. The bandage was wound around the wound.
2. The farm was used to produce produce.
3. The dump was so full it had to refuse more refuse.
4. We must polish the Polish furniture.

Answer 4

How to write complete sentences, fragments, comma splices, subject-verb agreement, and etc. I would recommend you Google some common grammar errors too. :)

Answer 5

I was hoping someone would suggest something other than common grammatical errors. It's also the topic I have in mind, but all the other posts in our blog are about the same thing. So I wanted to post a different topic. But I guess I'll just go with it lol. Thanks to everyone for helping me out! :] (If anyone comes up with a unique idea though, please do post it here XD thanks~)

Answer 6

Well, it is hard to know what you have learned in class, so no one can give you a topic on that obviously. That is why everyone is giving you topics on "English usage" as you stated.

Answer 7

We've discussed common errors on noun, pronoun, and adjective usage. I didn't bother mentioning it in my question because like I said, the post could be about anything that has to do with English usage. :) Anyway, thanks again for replying. :]
