[frame="1 98"]


الموضوع اليوم عن الأخطاء الشائعة التي يقوم بها كثير من الناس عند الكتابة في اللغة الانجليزية
و ذلك لوجود كثير من الكلمات التي يكون لفظها متشابه إلى حد كبير و لكن المعنى يختلف.
لذا رغبت في أن أقوم بكتابة هذا الموضوع ليكون به إفادة للجميع.

الموضوع سيكون على هذا النحو: سأقوم بوضع مجموعة من الكلمات المتشابهة لفترة محددة
ثم أقوم بعد بضعة أيام بإضافة كلمات أخرى حتى لا يكون تقديم هذا الموضوع
بشكل مكثف يؤدي إلى الارباك و ايضا ليتسنى لي معرفة الردود و
ما إذا كان لديكم أية مقترحات لتطوير الموضوع.


What do we mean by slippery spelling or common errors

Everybody makes an occasional error in speech or in writing
However certain errors are made over and over again: they are called common errors

Here are some of the words that are very often missplelled by people using the English language


Altar/ Alter



1) Altar





An altar is anoun that means the platform at the front of a church or in a temple

هي كلمة بمعنى مذبح الكنيسة

Example: The bride and groom stood before the priest at the altar
-----------------------------------------------------------------

2) Alter




Alter is a verb meaning to change

هي فعل بمعنى يغير

Although long-distance phone calls are going up, the charge for local calls will not alter

More Examples

جديد الدرس 20
All right / Alright



1) All right




Alright as too words is all right


This means that it is accepted as standard english and it is correctly used

هي كلمة بمعنى حسن جدا و أحيانا تستعمل بمعنى نعم

و إستعمالها على هذا الشكل أي في كلمتين منفصلتين (all right) صحيح



Example: The anwers are all right


This means that all of them are correct or that they are satisfactory on the whole
-----------------------------------------------------------------

2) Alright


Alright is a nonstandard abbreviation meaning all right

This means that it is not accepted as standard english

هي أيضا تعني حسن جدا أو نعم

و لكن إستعمالها خاطئ في اللغة الانجليزية الصحيحة لأنها كلمة عامية


More Examples



wrong: I wouldn't say she's rich, but she's doing alright

correct: I wouldn't say she's rich, but she's doing all right


wrong: You can work at home? That's alright, isn't it

correct: You can work at home? That's all right, isn't it




It's or Its


1) It's


It's is a contraction meaning it is
هي عبارة عن فاعل it و فعل is

example: It's my favorite book
يعني المتكلم في هذه الجملة عن كتاب سبق التحدث عنه بأنه كتابه المفضل. it هنا تعود للكتاب و 's تعود للفعل is
-----------------------------------------------------------------

2) Its


its is a possessive pronoun like his , your or my
its هي ضمير للملكية للأشياء غير العاقل فقط

example: Its color is red
لونه أحمر أي أن هناك شيء يعنيه المتكلم لونه أحمر. الهاء في لونه هي its في الانجليزية
-----------------------------------------------------------------

more examples


correct: Its leaves are green
wrong: It's leaves are green

correct: It's Tom's idea
wrong: Its Tom's idea

correct: what is its name
wrong: what is it's name

correct: It's going to snow today
wrong: Its going to snow today

correct: It's beautiful
wrong: its beautiful

please note that with the sentences with it's there is no other verb
because we already have a verb which is 's

but with its we should have a verb in the sentence because the s here is not a verb

ملاحظة الجملة التي تتضمن its لا يوجد فيها فعل آخر لأن 's هي الفعل أما في جملة its فيجب أن يكون هناك فعل
لأن its ضمير و الضمير لا يغني عن فعل

-----------------------------------------------------------------
