| Could of done it does not exist. There is Could have done and there is Could've done. The problem is that could've done sounds the same as could of done.:):):) |

| It is a same meaning. It is very import to make a sentence. It does not correctly put the place, sentence are meaningless. It make present, past and future. |

For starters, use a spell checker and try to use phrases you have read or heard before. Read more and increase the amount of time you spend on listening to English media every day.
TOEFL listening discussions: What will the student probably do with her next paper? |

Hi guys,
all the opinions in this forum are correct, but every skill in English must be learned equally if we seek the accuracy so when we say that grammar or any other three skils{ speaking,writing or listening} is exclusively important this importance must be equal.

Thanks a lot.

The problem here is that both "have" and "of" are often casually prounounced as "uv" (or "ev", depends on your phonetic notation, I improvised here) in some word combinations. For example, in "could have" and "what of", many native speakers will pronounce coo-duv and wa-duv (or coo-dev and wa-dev).
Edit: I didn't see the second page before I posted. |
