nostalgic

Please check my sentence and correct any errors.


iPhone 3 is a nostalgic phone in this age.

The main error is that you have used the word nostalgic incorrectly. We usually use nostalgic to refer only to people, not objects.

Okay. I rewrote it below.
I'm a Apple fans. I feel full of nostalgic to steve jobs.

 

[GoesStation]

You need to study when to use singular and plural nouns.

 

[tedmc]

One feels nostalgic about something.
Full of something (a noun, nostalgia).

I'm a Apple fans. I feel full of nostalgic to steve jobs.

There are six errors in those two sentences.

Try again.

I try again below.
I'm an Apple's fans. I feel full of nostalgia about Steve Jobs.

I'm an Apple fan. I feel full of nostalgia [STRIKE]about[/STRIKE] for the days of Steve Jobs and the iPhone 3.

You didn't know Steve Jobs, so you can't say that you feel nostalgia for him. Do you understand the correction I made to the start of your sentence?

I don't know why you underlined in red about "e" and "n".

I don't know why you underlined in red about "e" and "n".

This was to show you clearly the correct way of forming those two words. The colours help you see easily.

The way you formed those words was wrong. You used the plural form fans instead of the singular form fan. Why did you do that? Do you know the difference between plural and singular nouns?

O... i see....
I use "fans" because this is a word and I don't think it is plural nouns.

I know it now.

I use "fans" because this is a word and I don't think it is plural nouns.

I know it now.

You mean that you are aware of the concept of singular and plural nouns but you did not know that fans was a plural form. Is that right?

It is important that you learn to recognise singular and plural nouns. How are you going to do this?



Look at this sentence, which you wrote in your post:

I use "fans" because this is a word and I don't think it is plural nouns.

Can you see any nouns? Which words are they? Are they plural or singular? How do you know?

 

[teechar]

I don't know why you [STRIKE]underlined[/STRIKE] highlighted in red [STRIKE]about[/STRIKE] "e" and "n".

I did that to show you where I made corrections. You are one fan, so you need the singular "fan", not "fans". Also, we are using the noun "Apple" as an adjective, so we don't need the possessive "s".

I am an Apple fan. ["Apple" is a proper noun, working as an adjective]
I am a Star Trek fan. ["Star Trek" is a proper noun, working as an adjective]
I am a football fan. ["football" is an ordinary noun, working as an adjective]
I am a sushi fan. ["sushi" is an ordinary noun, working as an adjective]
I am a loyal fan. ["loyal" is an adjective]
I am an avid fan. ["avid" is an adjective]

Hi teacher,
I don't know my fault of every sentences. I just read a book and sentence which seemly correct. I copy them to my writing.
My English writing is standing at great low level. You know that. So, I have no idea and no concerns which words are singular or plural nouns.

Hi teacher,
Should I always remind myself which words are adjective or noun or verb or other forms?

 

[jutfrank]

So, I have no idea and no concerns which words are singular or plural nouns.

This is why we keep telling you to focus on basic grammar.

To make a plural noun, we normally add the letter 's' to the end of the singular form.

one book
two books

one word
two words

one fan
two fans

See?

I just read a book and sentence which seemly correct. I copy them to my writing.

I don't understand what you mean here. Please explain.

Of course! How else can you improve?

 

[Tarheel]

Polyester, please note that a noun is a name of something.

I mean I try to write a correct sentence after reading an English book. But I failed to write it correctly.

 

[jutfrank]

I mean I try to write a correct sentence after reading an English book.

Only one English book?

But I failed to write it correctly

Yes, we know this very well. You will continue to fail until you learn basic grammar. I think you need lessons. You cannot magically learn this basic grammar purely from reading those books.

Which books do you read, by the way?
