Spot The Error! #2

For each number below, find the error and write the correction.

1. There are a piece of cake on the table.
Correction:

The verb "are" is incorrect. "A piece of cake" is singular so it should be changed into "is".

2. Jay Chou was born in Taiwan on 1979.
Correction:

The right preposition for years is "in".

3. Sierra went to a concert two weeks ago. They enjoyed it very much!
Correction:

"They" is not the correct pronoun for Sierra. Change it into "she".

4. Yesterday I bought dinosaur book and gave it to my beloved brother. She directly read it and said it was amazing!
Correction:

The first sentence is lack of "a" in front of the word "dinosaur", and the second sentence uses the wrong pronoun; "she" is used to describe a woman, while "he" is used to describe a man.

5. My girlfriend is very smart and beauty. I love her.
Correction:

What is needed here is an adjective, not a noun. Change "beauty" into "beautiful".

6. My mother knows that I like to watching sci-fi movies.
Correction:

After "like" we may put either a gerund or a to-infinitive. Choose between "watching" or "to watch".

7. I cutted my finger deliberately when I was cooking.
Correction:

The past form of "cut" is "cut", not "cutted".

8. I don't know what is my boss doing now. He is in his room.
Correction:

Invert "is" and "my boss". The subject in a noun clause is placed before the verb(s).

9. In Jerry's opinion, swimming is more easier than playing golf.
Correction:

The comparative form of "easy" is "easier". Leave out the word "more".

10. Farah and Merry are shopaholics. They always want buy fancy clothes.

Spot The Error! #1

For each number below, find the error and write the correction.

1. My father drink a cup of coffee every morning.
Correction:

The verb "drink" is incorrect. It should be "drinks" because the subject is "my father" or "he".

2. I met with lisa and Marco at a Japanese restaurant.
Correction:

The word "lisa" should be capitalized because it is a proper noun or proper name.

3. Yesterday Mr. Iglesias examined my torso for a hour.
Correction:

The article "a" is incorrect. It should be "an" because "hour" begins with a vowel sound; the letter "h" is not pronounced.

4. I has been working for this company since January last year.
Correction:

Instead of "has", we use "have" as an auxiliary or helping verb after the subject "I", .

5. Louis is go to his brother's apartment once a week.
Correction:

Use only one main verb for a simple sentence. In this case, "go" is the correct one. Don't forget to add "-es" because the subject is "Louis" or "he".

6. A water is liquid but a book is solid.
Correction:

Don't use "a" for a generic uncountable noun. Leave out the "a".

7. My twin loves reading books, I hate it.
Correction:

This is a run-on sentence. To connect two independent clauses (two complete sentences) we don't use a comma, as in the sentence. Instead, we use a period "." or a coordinating conjunction. The coordinating conjunction appropriate for this sentence is "but".

8. Leung and me think that my mother is a good cook. Her food is always delicious!
Correction:

"Me" is an object pronoun. We use "I" for the subject of a sentence.

9. Microsoft is one of biggest companies in the world.
Correction:

Don't forget to put "the" before "biggest", a superlative.

10. I have loved dinosaurs since I am a kid.
Correction:

The tense which should be used in the clause "since I am a kid" is the simple past tense. Change the "am" into "was".

Love

What is love? A perpetually asked question. A timeless question.

As a Christian I believe that love is a free gift from God. God is love, and out of His love He created the world, and us. That's why we should be grateful for this life. Living a life is not a burden but grace.

The nature of love is giving. The more one gives another, the more love they have.

However, giving is not enough. The base of or what motivates it should be sincerity. Even though you give one million dollars to 100 people each, if you don't have sincerity, you don't have as much love as those who give only one dollar to only one person with sincerity.

Love isn't choosy or picky. It includes ALL. It doesn't care who you are, where you are from, what your sex is, what your job is, how old you are, etc. That's why love is universal. There's no exception.

Having love means having responsibility. Love is not about a mere feeling. You always have something to do and it's enjoyable! For example, if you're a husband you have to serve your wife the best and vice versa. Saying "I love you" is good but showing that it is true is much better.

Love is active, not passive. In other words, love makes one productive. You can't just sit down and procrastinate. People who have love always take action to make others happy, to advance their life, to make them feel comfortable, to reassure them. They always make efforts to achieve them.

Speaking of love between a man and a woman, one who has it must cherish their partner. They will keep their beloved's chastity until they marry. In point of fact, that's the proof that they truly love theirs.

A man who loves his partner or wife is faithful. He doesn't flirt with another woman or cheat on the woman of his life. He devotes his life to her and his eyes are only directed to her. A true man has only one woman throughout his life. This also applies to a woman.

Those are my views on love. Your comments are appreciated. :) Continue reading..

Principles - Prince's Disciples

The world is changing so fast and we are to decide where to go and what to do. Many offers, many options, and, therefore, many possible results.

Christians need to remember that they are "Christians". They are the disciples of Christ, the Son of the Father, the Prince. Christians are to live a life that's according to His plan, His good plan. However, being a Christian is not easy, as stated in Matthew 10:16.

There are many "wolves". Temptations, challenges, and problems are all around us. We cannot evade those. We have free will and our commitment to God is always asked every time we meet the "wolves".

A Christian should remember that they are capable of being a good Christian, by God's grace. They must stick to the principles, the teachings of Jesus Christ, every word that comes out of His mouth.

Following Christ needs bravery and resoluteness. It should be consistent, not temporary. You might be hurt; you might be left. You might be alone in this world but in fact you are not. (Mark 3:35)

Everyone can leave you but God will remain beside you if you do His will, do what He wants, which is exactly the purpose of us being here.
