PO White Trash: keep showing
the world who you are:
just start talking.
Failure to Conjugate Third Person Singular
a/k/a
Don’t say Don’t with he
Santa Maria, Madre de Dios! There are many languages more
complicated
(MUCH more complicated)
than English.
We are talking PRESENT tense – also not a huge
challenge. In English, generally we use the same exact verb (action word
for you Wal-Mart devotees) with five of the six types of people groups.
The is action word identical for: I, you –singular, we, you-plural, and
they. Therefore, we need only learn one other form of the verb to
complete our vocabulary. Why, then, do you insist on declaring to the
world that you are happily locked into the lower class?
It seems to be a badge of honor to talk like a country-western song. I
know you are not stupid people. You have many skills, talents, and
bodies of knowledge. You can run rings around so many of us with your
expertise in myriads of arenas. Yet, you persist in trashing English when
the solution is SO SIMPLE. There is even a pattern: often all that is
required is adding an “s” or an “es” to the verb used for the five other
pronouns.
Examples: I do, you do, He does.
Therefore, when the word “not” is part of the sentence, we have: I don’t,
you don’t, he doesn’t.
Try it. It is easy, truly.
