Domislaz:


I believe "a historian" is the correct usage, not "an historian," since the 'h' is not silent in this particular word. So that makes your number 10 wrong. But nice one tho.

It is not about sounding smart here but know to the correct form. As at this time, that your 'modern day English' has not evolved to the level where the past tense of 'broadcast' is 'broadcasted'. Broadcast is broadcast in the past tense and past participle forms. In fact, there was never anything like broadcasted. It never exist.

flamingREED:


'Campaign manager of PDP' is ungrammatical.

It should be 'the PDP'.

Atmmachine:
If i fail to get the correct answers to all the questions, i will never forgive myself for wasting $4000 every semester.

And i might as well return my degree to the University of Florida

1. Na Hausa language be that ??

2. The available options are not grammatically correct, the first option would have been the correct answer if there is "the" before PDP. Eg.(I wish i were the campaign manager of the Democrats in the last general election.

3. A

4. B

5. B

6. A (subject is synonymous to matter.)

7. B

8. A (i know some people may disagree but i remember asking my professor the correct usage of the two and he told me baggages, the same professor that told me that i shouldn't say it's educational, it's educative is the right term.

9. A

10. A


Waiting for people who would falsify my answers

Sanchez01:
1. Both options for #1 are wrong. You don't GIVE but GRANT leave.
2. A) I wish I were the campaign manager of PDP in the last general election.
3. A) The news of president Buhari's arrival was broadcasted yesterday.
4. B) They appeared to be talking on private matters.
5. B) He fell from the top of the house.
6. B) The subject matter of his discourse was excellent.
7. B) ) If she knew about his financial situation, she would have helped him out.
8. B) Her baby daddy has too many baggage.
9. B) B) Nothing but that would satisfy him.
10. This would definitely pass as A but the consonant 'H' in the English alphabet is the only consonant that is allowed to carry both the 'A' and the 'AN', just like the vowel 'U' can sometimes carry or tag along with the article 'A'. EG, He has A UNIQUE point of view.

Still waiting for OP to comment ooo

OluOlaLekan:



Talking about the indefinite articles "a" and "an", words with an initial "h" CANNOT take on both articles. The determinant is the preceeding phonetic sound in the word in question. Words starting with an initial vowel sound take on the aricle "an" while those that start with a consonant sound take the article "a". An understanding of this basic rule will help you explain away all the seemingly confusing exceptions.

Take a look at the following examples:

A unique concept. The first sound in the word "unique" is the consonant sound "y" and not the vowel sound "u"; so the word takes on the article "a" even though the first letter is a vowel

An SMS. The first sound here is the vowel sound "e". It precedes the "s" sound even though the first letter "s" is a consonant.

Talking about the words with an initial "h", you just have to memorise the few exceptions. In most cases in English language when the letter "h" starts a word, it is often pronounced and not silent. As "h" is a consonant sound, such words take on the article "a" as in "a helicopter", "a horrible descent". There are however only four words in the whole of English language which start with an "h" but take on the article "an". This is because the letter "h" is silent and not voiced in these words, thus making the next letter which is usually a vowel to take over as the first sound and the determinant of the choice of article. These words are "hour, honour, honest and heir". Therefore, whenever these words and all their derivatives appear, they take on the article "an". See these examples.

An honest lawyer, an heir apparent to the British throne, an hourly injection of the drug, an honourable sheriff.

I hope someone here now perfectly understands the use of indefinite articles in English language. Thank you.
