Boredom

Grammar point

Be careful with subject-verb agreement. It is a pretty basic rule in English that if the subject is singular, your verb must be singular. Forget your name, but never this rule.

Examples:

1. One of the many reasons she dislikes movies is the idea that it is nothing real.

Note: When using the phrase one of the as the subject, the verb is always a singular verb.

2. The grapes she bought last week do not have seeds.

Vocabulary

Boring vs. Bored

- They are not the same. (It's really weird listening to people say, "Naboboring ako". Why would anyone flaunt he is boring?)

Bored is used to describe how one feels.

Boring is used to describe something or someone that can make you feel bored.

Hence,

I am bored with your stories.

This is a boring movie.

Add-ons

1. Will and decisions made just now.

- We use will when expressing decisions that you have just made.

E.g.

This is a boring book. I will never read anything from this author again.

2. We never say, Everything are or Everything do. We say, Everything is or Everything does. (It's the same with everyone, everybody, every)

E.g.

Everything is not what it seems.

Practice

One of the many reasons I read books is that it's never boring. You see, I easily get bored, so I read a lot of them. Every book is an escape from the daily stress. However, my friends think I need to find a new hobby, so I will try running this weekend.
