Grammar 101 – Part 1 📖✏ (Month 4)
We communicate with others by using phrases or expressions to show our reaction and emotions towards them or to simply state our opinions. Sometimes a facial expression isn’t enough to express how we feel. So, in order to make others understand our reaction, we must use the correct phrase/statement/expression. 💬💬💬
Make sure you don’t use the incorrect phrase/statement/expression because if you do, it can contradict to your reaction and have another meaning that opposes to the actual meaning. Besides that, your incorrect phrase can also be grammatically incorrect which can make others feel uncomfortable when they hear it.
For instance, we sometimes hear people say:
“Worthed”
To describe something that is enjoyable or useful despite the fact that you have to make an effort.
It is GRAMMATICALLY INCORRECT. ❌❌❌
The correct ways to say this phrase is:
“Worth it” or simply use the adjective “worthy” in a sentence.
These are grammatically correct. ✅✅✅
“Worth it” is an expression to describe something or someone that is sufficiently good, enjoyable, or successful to repay any effort, trouble, or expense. It also means “enjoyable or useful despite the fact that you have to make an effort.”
For example: “It was a long climb to the top of the hill, but the view from the top was worth it!” 😄
So, be careful when you use this common English phrase! “Worthed” may sound similar to “worth it” but it has a totally different meaning.
“Worthed” is the past tense form of the verb “worth”, which means “equivalent in value to the sum or item specified.”.
It takes a lot of practice and dedication to excel in English grammar. Never stop practicing!
