Sentence: If I was her/him or them i wouldn't listen to this nonsense things...

[Kurbo]

Are the following sentences correct:

1- " If i was her/him or them i wouldn't listen to this nonsense things about them/others".

"If i was you i would do the same thing you did".

2- Is there a hint to know such negative makers like Mis,Dis,Im,Un and etc a certain way to recognise this word must use for "Mis" e.g. when i want to make a word apposite to the word like Trust Mistrust

I please need some clarification about these.

Hi Kurbo,

Remember that the first person singular is always written as a capital letter 'I'. It is quite common to say: 'If I were her/If I were you' and so on. 'Nonsense things' is best written as 'nonsensical things' or 'nonsense' on its own.

As for making words negative by adding one of the prefixes you have suggested, I feel that is too big a topic to summarise because it very much depends on the history of the words concerned.

Hi Kurbo,
There is no rule. You have to look them up in a dictionary and then memorize them.

Were you introducing yourself to me or its an open introduction with everyone?.

Welcome to this forum.

its = possessive form of "it"
