The recurrent use of some terms - A thorough analysis

The option of assigning the adjective "recurring" to the title was just to emphasize a practice quite usual linguistic and that, without any doubt, becomes imperceptible to the eyes of a group of issuers.

We found that such practice is materialized not only in everyday speech, but also with a certain predominance in non-language verbalized, portrayed on billboards, pamphlets, advertisements, banners, in short, in all speeches that represent the modality in question.

When referring to daily speeches, we mention the fact that even when it comes to orality, certain "slips" are real gaffes, negatively influencing our posture while interlocutors.

Faced with this prerogative, it is essential that we are vigilant about our attitudes, in order to avoid unpleasant consequences. Therefore, nothing that some tips cannot act as excellent support towards this purpose, as the ones shown below, with a view to exemplifying the cases of higher incidence. So let's see:

The) in my view these decisions were not as effective as we imagined.


In this case, be aware that such expression is not preceded by an article. Thus, it is reformulated:

In my view these decisions were not as effective as we imagined.

b) We wait let everyone be very happy on this new journey.
It is mentioned here for the question regarding the correct use of the verb, in view of the time and mode to which it refers. As it is the present in the subjunctive mode, the expression would be evidenced as follows:

We hope everyone is very happy on this new journey.

ç) It's already 8am, and nothing of them showing up.
It is suggested to pay full attention to the agreement regarding the verb “to be”, since this, in the indication of time, measure or quantity, is inflected. Therefore, reformulating the speech, we would obtain:

It's already 8am, and nothing of them showing up.

d) surely you will like of the glasses that I had done.
There are, in the language, certain words that only exist in the pluralized form, and glasses are a typical example of these. Therefore, by establishing the agreement, we would obtain:

You will certainly like the glasses I had made.

and) there were many complaints about the new mobile phone model.

The verb "haver", when portrayed by the sense of existing, is configured as impersonal, remaining, without fail, in the 3rd person singular, expressed as follows:

There were many complaints about the new mobile phone model.

f)for rent vacation apartments.

When analyzed, the subject of the aforementioned prayer is manifested by the word "apartments" and, above all, when transformed into the passive voice, the prayer is evidenced by:

Apartments are rented for the season. Soon, apartments for rent for season.

g) You seem to me today half confused.
Prefer food with girls calories.

Both statements are subject to a feature of total relevance: the fact that the adverbs (middle/minus) belong to an invariable grammatical class. Therefore, they need to be reformulated, represented by:

You look a little confused to me today.
Prefer foods with fewer calories.
