Do you see an old or young lady?


Don't vs Doesn’t

"He don’t care about me anymore."

This is INCORRECT.

Doesn't, does not, or does are used with the third person singular

- words like he, she, and it.

Don't, do not, or do are used for other subjects.

* "He doesn’t care about me anymore."

This is CORRECT.

Unless of course you want to sound like a

southern woman from the 1950's wild west...

Then you should say "He don't care 'bout me nomore"

The third conditional


1. Third conditional

"If I would have known about the party, I would have gone to it."

This is INCORRECT, although commonly used, especially in American English.

The correct form is:

If + had + past participle, would + have + past participle

* "If I had known about the party, I would have gone."

This is CORRECT.


Oh and the picture is a little joke/pun,

if you can tell me what it is and how it relates to the post

you will win one million awesomeness points

which can be redeemed for a feeling of self satisfaction.

Words you don't need to know

I often discover new English words,
and sometimes they are rather strange.

Today's example is

Erinaceous

An adjective which means

Like a hedgehog

"The flock of birds is flying in a rather erinaceous shape."
