Lesson 27: Common Errors

(6:10)

Marie is watching a televised hockey game. When one of the players scores a goal the announcer says, "He played good today!" Marie grimaces and clicks off the television. "Peeyew! We often hear bad grammar on television and in every day life." Marie uses the hockey announcer and a mail box encounter with her neighbor, Elmer, to provide examples and ways of correcting three common grammatical errors: confusing good and well, using 'I seen' and 'I done', and double negatives.
