Reminder to myself

I always mistakenly used the word 'do' or 'does'. In one of my post from my main blog, I wrote a sentence like this:


Why should I befriend with someone who don't want to befriend me anymore?!

Teyha corrected me. I should replace the word 'don't' with 'doesn't'.

Aziz, remember this pattern:-

I do
You do
They do

He/She does
Ali does
My friend does
Someone does

After this, I hope that will aware whenever I make this silly mistake in the future.

Staff or Staffs?

There is no such word as staffs ( staff with an 's'. Huh? Sound weird. Hahaha! ).

'Staff' can be used for both singular and plural. Full stop.

At a Department Store (LOL~)

I found this so called essay on Ali's LAN. Really funny yet interesting! Plus, there are something that I can learn from it also. Read it! Click the pictures to enlarge!

Didn't or Haven't?

I always got confused with these two words.

For example, there was one time, when i want to collect the assignments (that should be graded) from the lecturer-in-charge:

Lecturer: Do you have the answer scheme?
Me (nervous) : No, I haven't got... oh.. didn't get it yet.

So, which one is correct?

Ta!
