Abeg, park well. English get format? Ok, complete the following and tell me the format:
1. Big, bigger, biggest
Small, smaller, smallest
Now lets use "GOOD" to do the same thing.
Good, gooder, goodest (This is correct based on the format established but OYIBO man say make I park well say the answer is wrong, that the correct answer is, good, better, best. Abeg tell me whether English get format )
2. Boy, boys
book, books
flower, flowers
Now lets use, "Man" and "woman" the same way.
Man, mans // woman, womans (These are correct based on existing format but OYIBO say I don commit foul. Oyibo say the answers are, man, men // woman, women) Can you tell me why OYIBO changed the rule?
With these few points of mine I hope I have been able to convince you that English language has no FORMAT too. So, abeg park well make I pass. Thank you.
