Hopefully BL will provide some prompts, I'm having trouble coming up with a decent topic to write about myself these days.

Good thread.
These are some common mistakes in English that I have observed.
1.You're and Your. You're means something you are .For instance,You are clever.
Your means something that belongs to you. For example, Your pen.
2. Advice and Advise are different. Advise is a verb. For example, he advised me to take a rest.
On the other hand,advice is a noun. For example, John gave me a lot of advice. Note that advice does not have a plural.Last edited by saeedhk; 22nd May 2014 at 15:34.

IT'S and ITS
There is a difference between the two. It's is short for it is or it has. For example, it's a hot day.
Its is a possessive pronoun. It is used like his/her. For example, the dog wagged its tail.

Could've, would've and should've do not have "of" at the end. If you are not using the contraction, write "have" after the word could/would/should.
You say "I would have done that if I had the time", but would you say, "I would of done that if I had the time"?Last edited by 96NotOut; 24th May 2014 at 05:31.

Can anyone tell me what is correct, I was or I were?
"I was" is used a lot and sounds better but it seems wrong because we use plural forms of auxiliary verbs, like "have", "am", etc.
@96NotOut, @cricket083, @Mamoon, @blinding light, @Munna:- Can you enlighten me?

The only time "I were" is correct is if it is preceded by "if" that is, "if I were you, I'd do so and so."
Otherwise, it's "I was" as both words are singular

" I were " is correct if it is preceded by " if ". For example,
If I were a girl, I would be a supermodel. Otherwise, " I was " is correct.Last edited by Mamoon; 21st July 2014 at 04:53.
