⚜ Grammar Lesson ⚜

🔉 Wish 🔉

'I wish to' can mean the same as 'I want to' but it is much, much more formal and less common.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕ I wish to see the manager.
➖ I wish to make a complaint.
🆔 @AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
You can also use 'wish' with a noun to 'offer good wishes'.

➕ I wish you a merry Christmas.

👉 Hence that when you want to offer good wishes using a verb, you must use 'hope' and not 'wish'.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕I wish you the best of luck.
✔️ noun

➖I hope you have the best of luck.
✔️verb

However, the main use of 'wish' is to say that we would like things to be different from what they are, that we have regrets about the present situation.

➕I wish I were with you then.
➖He wishes he could fly.
🆔 @AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
🔅 Notice that the verb tense which follows 'I wish' is 'more in the past' than the tense corresponding to its meaning.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕I never get invited to parties. I wish I got invited more.
➖I'm too emotional. I wish I were more logical.

👉 In the case of 'will' ,where 'will' means 'show willingness' we use 'would'.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕He won't help me.I wish he would help me.
➖You've eaten too much.I wish you would stop.

🔉 Lay VS. Lie 🔉

These two verbs could be easily confused since they're one of the most difficult irregular verbs. You need to understand their meaning before learning how to use them.
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
💬 Definition of LAY

Lay means to put something or someone down. Remember, PUT STH DOWN. Hence, 'lay' is a transitive verb, which means a direct object will follow it.

🔔 Example

➖ I laid my books on the table.
◽️ I put my books on the table.

➕ Don't lay the shirt on the bed.
◽️ Don't put the shirt on the bed.
🆔 @AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
💬 Definition of LIE

Lie means to rest or recline, so hence, this verb is intransitive, which means no direct object will be following it.

🔔 Example

➖ I lie on the bed.
◽️ I rest on the bed.

➕ Her cat lies on the floor.
◽️ Her cat rests on the floor.

● Ok vs OK vs Okey vs Itself:


¤O.K. is a pair of initials with a multitude of uses -- not to mention a number of different explanations of how it came to be. An upcoming anniversary is the occasion for Mo Rocca to investigate:

Word up! Next Sunday, March 23rd, is the 175th anniversary of the invention of a word that English professor Allan Metcalf believes is America's most successful export.

"There's no other word that is widely recognized throughout the world," he told Rocca. "No other American word has succeeded like that."

If you don't know what that word is, it's OK.
Seriously: it's OK. The word "okay."

For Metcalf, the world's foremost "OK expert," one reason for OK's appeal is its versatility.

"Above all, it's an adjective when you say, 'This is OK,'" he said. "But it's also a noun: 'I gave this my OK.' It's also a verb: "I OK'd it.' It's also an adverb: 'She did it OK.' And it's also an interjection: 'OK.'"


So just where did this word come from? For years, its origin was a linguistic mystery.

One theory: it came from the Greek phrase "ola kala," which means all good.

And then there's the Choctaw word "okeh," which sounds like and means okay. President Woodrow Wilson reportedly thought it was the "correct" spelling of the word, and would OK documents with "okeh."

And finally, the most famous OK origin story was reinforced in the 2012 Academy Award-winning movie, "Silver Linings Playbook":

PAT: "Here's a fun fact. You know where the term 'OK comes from?"
VERONICA: "No. No, I don't."
PAT: "Well, Martin Van Buren, the eighth president of the United States of America, is from Kinderhook, New York . . . and he was part of a club, a men's club, called Old Kinderhook. And if you were cool, you were in the club, they'd say, 'That guy's OK.' 'Cause he was in the Old Kinderhooks."

No, not really. (So not OK.)
OK, the real story of OK is hilarious.

In 1839, an abbreviation craze was sweeping Boston. Charles Gordon Greene, editor of the Boston Morning Post, came up with an abbreviation -- o.k. -- which he indicated meant "all correct" if you didn't know how to spell "all correct."

OK, it was funny in 1839.

Now while President Van Buren wasn't the origin of OK, the man known as Old Kinderhook did have a hand in popularizing it.

"You have to feel a little bit bad," said Rocca, "because 'OK' was kind of Martin Van Buren's only claim to fame."

"Yes, well, I think if you go to Kinderhook, they still have plaques and announcements, that that was the origin of 'OK,'" said Metcalf. "

"They're not okay with your origin story?" Rocca said.

"That's right. But it's okay if they wanna do it."

The earliest appearance in a dictionary that we could find was in an 1864 edition of the Slang Dictionary of Vulgar Words.

But today, does OK hold its own against that other common utterance -- "like"?

In the battle of "like" versus "OK," Metcalf said, "OK comes out way out on top -- and underneath, too. Like is so wussy. All it does is just give a little bit of affirmation. OK has a much broader range."

OK is used around the globe, but Metcalf says that the word born in America expresses a quintessentially American philosophy: "You never will say anything is OK if it's not satisfactory," he said.

"Okay -- and this 'okay' is expressing skepticism right now. That feels like it equals mediocrity," said Rocca.

"It allows for mediocrity, but mediocrity that succeeds," Metcalf said. "Because Americans figure out how to get things done rather than waiting for perfection."

"Okay," said Rocca, "by which I mean I accept what you're saying."

Funny that a word so common appears in only one famous quotation: "I'm okay, you're okay."

OK -- never a star attraction, but always in a supporting role.

"It's emphatic, it's distinctive, it's simple," said Metcalf. "Americans don't like complicated philosophies or ways of life. And 'okay' is about as short and simple as you can get."

So, pencil next Sunday in as OK Day!

*7 things negative people will do to you. They will...*

1. Demean your value;
2. Destroy your image
3. Drive you crazily!
4. Dispose your dreams!
5. Discredit your imagination!
6. Deframe your abilities and
7. Disbelieve your opinions!

✔️ noun

When you are *"busy"*,and you want to say *I'm busy*,You can use following phrases....

I'm *overwhelmed* with work..

I'm *slammed* with work lately..

I'm *juggling with* many things..

I'm *under water*

I have *got a lot on my plate*(this sentence has two meanings, One we say this sentence when we have a lot of food on our plate,And second when we have too many jobs too many works)

I have been *inundated* with complaints from customers...

*Hope it would work*
*Don't just read it,try to use these sentences in your regular routine*

🔴 I have + (past participle) 🔴

🔶Again, 'I have' shows possession or something acquired. By adding a past participle you are informing someone of a past or completed action done by you.

😊Here are some examples:

"I have done it."
"I have heard that before."
"I have driven a car."
"I have forgotten the words."
"I have read that book."
"I have eaten at that restaurant before."
"I have flown in an airplane."
"I have forgiven you."
"I have seen you before."
"I have written a letter."

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
🔴 I wanna + (verb) 🔴

🔶The word 'wanna' is incorrect grammatically. It is equivalent to 'want to.' When combined with the word 'I' it helps communicate something you want to do.

😊Here are some examples:

"I wanna talk."
"I wanna search for a job."
"I wanna order some food."
"I wanna marry her."
"I wanna listen to that song."

🛑By adding the word 'don't' you can change the meaning of what you are saying to something you 'want' to do to something you 'do not' want to do.

😊Here are some examples:

"I don't wanna talk."
"I don't wanna search for a job."
"I don't wanna marry her."
"I don't wanna listen to that song."
"I don't wanna order some food."
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
🔴 Basic Usage of I'm 🔴

🔶'I'm' is an abbreviation for the word 'I AM.' It is used in combination with other words to tell someone about yourself or to describe something you are doing.

😊Here are some examples:

"I'm so tired."
"I'm confused."
"I'm happy."
"I'm twenty three years old."
"I'm hungry."
"I'm nervous."
"I'm excited."
"I'm leaving work."
"I'm thirsty."
"I'm from America."

🔶You can also add descriptive words with 'I'm' such as:

"I'm extremely tired."
"I'm very happy."
"I'm terribly hungry."
"I'm super excited."
"I'm very nervous."
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
🔴 I'm + (verb) 🔴

🔶'I'm' is a contraction of the words 'I am.' By adding a verb to 'I'm' this lets you express an action or occurrence about yourself.

😊Here are some examples:

"I'm eating lunch."
"I'm brushing my teeth."
"I'm scared."
"I'm driving to work."
"I'm crying."
"I'm typing an email."
"I'm cooking dinner."
"I'm combing my hair."
"I'm hanging a picture."
"I'm texting."
"I'm dancing."
"I'm interested in the job."

🚑 *The Nurse and the Wolf*🐺

"Be quiet now," said an old Nurse to a child sitting on her lap. "If you make that noise again I will throw you to the Wolf."

Now it chanced that a Wolf was passing close under the window as this was said. So he crouched down by the side of the house and waited. "I am in good luck to-day," thought he. "It is sure to cry soon, and a daintier morsel I haven't had for many a long day." So he waited, and he waited, and he waited, till at last the child began to cry, and the Wolf came forward before the window, and looked up to the Nurse, wagging his tail. But all the Nurse did was to shut down the window and call for help, and the dogs of the house came rushing out. "Ah," said the Wolf as he galloped away,

"Enemies promises were made to be broken."
