There is this educational forum I belong to and a guy said" I were counting on u to do....." but some people there said it was wrong.

I know from my child and I'm still using plural verb after I .when they were saying that the guy was wrong,I was bewildered but I didn't say anything cos I happened not to be a member of that school,was there cos my own uni has no such forum!!!.


if we could say:
I have arrived instead of "has",
I love u instead of " loves",
I care for u instead of " cares ".
why would nt we say " I were counting on u to do....." as the guy said and people were criticizing the grammar.


English is complicated!!!
somebody should explain o or could it be the guy is right after all?

...BRO dat statement is correct

MsFaith:
'I was counting on u to do.....' is the correct English. 'were' is for plural like 'we were counting on u to do.......'

....do u knw dat YOU and I are separatd? Dat ar been treated lik plural accordin 2 concord....so is rili wrong 4 u 2 say if i 'was' pls dnt say dat out o....'was' is a singula verb

lilbest4:
you're wrong my sister.
Have you heard of subjunctive mood?
e.g "she walks as though she were a queen"

"He wished he were a lady"

" if I were Ade" not "if I was Ade"

This is called subjunctive mood. It it takes the plural past form of the "to be" verb.

Please don't speak " if I was Ade" in public

......sis dat is rili wrong d correct verb shld b if i 'were' in respective of 'IF'

hav com acroz so many books i mean english text....accordin 2 corncod I and YOU do tak plural verb 4 example:we say IF I WERE TOLU...I 'HAVE'A PEN all ds are correct.I is treated lik a plural in english so accordin 2 d rule i tink dat statement is correct

This recently created a tense argument between my friends... when they came to me and presented the the question...,, i was just dumbfounded because i know how confusing english language can be sometimes...
so am bringing this down here because i know we have erudites here on Nairaland who can really shed more light on this and tell us the right sentence to use...
So Nairalanders.. which is correct between this two... "Clap for him/her" or "Clap him/her"



@Lalasticlala... pls help put this on front page so we can all learn.. thanks

..wen u say 'clap for' clap is a verb y for is d preposition wc accompany d verb 2 add more meaning 2 wat is said...so i concor with clap for and agn u 'clap for' som1 dat is d right preposition 2 use.
