I know you all care so much, here is my free English lesson since most people don't seem to understand the proper uses of them.

They're easy to use once you know how. <<<<< This sentence, for example. "They're" means "They Are". So if you're ever unsure which to use just, read the sentence back to yourself and if it makes sense substituting "They are" instead of "They're" then you use it. "They are easy to use once you know how". This sentence still makes sense this way, so the use of "they're is correct. "We are going to that shop over there". If you substituted "they are", that sentence would make no sense. And "their" obviously refers to something belonging to someone or associated with them. "Fuck 'em and their law".

Same goes for your/you're. "You're" means "you are". "Is that your car"? That wouldnt make sense if you said "is that you are car". Therefore using "is that you're car" would be *incorrect*. "Your sister's fit" would be an example of the correct use of "your".

Wow i'm bored lol

thats so cool we have a personal teacher at BK :D

Tim. I Will T-Bag You.

I don't understand

I don't care if people here write improper english, I understand them quite well anyway. But this is just my opinion. I don't state that my english would be correctly written, but I do think that almost everyone here understands me what I'm trying to say when I say something.

LOL funny. you were on a roll there tim until you fucked up at the end by saying 'sisters' instead of 'sister'

Haha trust you to notice *edits* lol. Err I was trying to say "Your sister's fit", but yeah i fucked it up BET YOU'RE REAL HAPPY AREN'T YOU? (lol another example, "bet YOU ARE real happy aren't you?")

Sorry, I didn't mean people in here... I meant people in life lol.

heheh... yeah.. It's nice to have teacher over here. I remember when I at first time come here, about two years ago, and my english was horrible. I started to watch movies and TV shows with english speech without translation and tried to communicate in forums like in BK. Now I can see big progress in My English speech and grammar. I'll definitely post some questions here If I'll have some problems.

nice one! we will speak like native english

ive printed out a list of technical errors which i think you would enjoy discussing

:D

I agree with Mika - the main thing is, you´ll get the point of that what you read. What I really hate is, if there are i.e. no gaps between words, no points, commas or other marks between or in sentences.

But I like your idea, Tim. It´s good to give some English-lessons! Thanx for that. Nice to learn something here with the result to be better "AT" writing English...

I wasn't trying to be an ass with this post, I just put it up because I wish when I was younger I had an English teacher that could have taught it to me in a simple way. I didn't know how to properly use them for years. Just put it up if people wanted a simple explanation as to the proper use.

i always use correct english, unless i'm typing with one hand or something, because i'm busy. it's purely out of habit, that's the way i've been taught and it comes naturally, if i write an essay for school, and i make mistakes that bigsugar mentioned, i lose marks.

it doesn't bother me that other people aren't grammatically correct because i usually understand, and probably won't even notice.

haha, i remember on the old forum bigsugar gave a lesson on how to use the spacebar because someone used commas, or fullstops instead of spaces:D

Whats the next lesson? !!
