    Quarantine Grammar Lesson

    Since many of us are self quarantined with the Stay at Home Order, it is an opportune time to review the lessons we learned (or not ) in 4th grade :


    The Proper Use of See, Saw, and Seen

    Present Tense: see --
    (the action is happening NOW in the present)

    Past Tense: saw -- (the action is over)
    Everyday I see my neighbor, and everyday he sees me. “I see something lying on the road up ahead.”
    Yesterday I saw my neighbor mowing his lawn. Last year, I saw the Super Bowl in person.

    Past Participle: seen --
    (used with have, has, is, was, will be, had been, etc.)
    In the past, I have seen two rainbows in the sky at once.
    Before we had seen ten minutes of the movie, the projector broke.
    In this film, Tom Hanks is seen as a mad scientist who invents a formula for invisibility
    .
    Never ever say or write “I seen.”
    Say, “I HAVE seen” or “I HAD seen.”

    Remember: The word seen must never follow directly after the words I, he, she, we, they, Bob, Mary (any person’s name).

        You grammar challenged can thank me now or thank me later.

        I will even except, no...ACCEPT bottles of amber-colored liquid to show your appreciation.

              Sadly, there are members of our TBH community who have been AFFECTED...not effected ...by this economic calamity.

              I thought it would be helpful in their job interviews if they presented themselves as having at least an elementary grasp of the basic tenets of grammar. Hopefully, this little lesson, if applied correctly, rather than ridiculed , might, just might, reflect favorably on the job candidate...enough to move him/her above the next candidate that does not think it is important to speak or write correctly.

              Important reminder: For those of you who want to demonstrate their sincere appreciation for my attitude of caring about them so they can present themselves in a positive, edumacated manner, I tend to lean towards the finer grades of adult beverages. :

                            "Then" and "Than" bothers me more than all the other errors combined.
