Important Reminders when writing in English

Writing Pitfalls

where, were, and we're

Where are you going? where = waar

You were late to class. were = past of 'to be' (are) =waren

We're all students at JdW. We're= we are= wij zijn

two/to/too

two = 2

to = preposition "going to the store" (think 'towards' ->'richting')

too = means 'also' or 'excessive'  (I ate too much food -> heb te veel eten gegeten)

            (I want to do homework too -> Ik will ook huiswerk doen.)

gonna & wanna

Spoken English does not always mean proper English., 

gonna = going to

wanna= want to

then vs. than

then - list, comes next

First I'll eat breakfast, then I will shower.

than - compares

He's taller than me.

a & an

a = for consonants 

a cat, a tree, a star

an = for vowel sounds

an evening, an hour

Hey Michael,

 

Some time ago, we talked about an new stand-up show by Andrew Clay, this controversial comic. Do you remember? Well i visited his show with a friend yesterday and were very disappointed. He was the first comedian two sell out Madison Square Garden too nights in a row. That’s fantastic, but he is over 50 now and I think he was funnier in his youth then he is now. I didn’t have an clue what he was gonna talk about in the show. He wasn’t really funny and only made the audience laugh a bit with his show. He was to predictable. He did not even involve the audience in his performances. He lacked any sense of humour. Than at some point, I even found him annoying. To cut a long story short I didn’t like his show and wouldn’t recommend it to you.

 

Cheers,

Ms. Howes
