Is 'Raise your hand' correct? Is Extreme end tautology?


If your teacher had taught you that  'raise your hand' is wrong,  just know that you have been wrongly schooled.
You can say 'raise your hand'  or 'put up your hand'.  Meanwhile,  'raise your hand' is more frequently used.
'raise up your hand' is tautology .

"Have you seen a movie? "

The 'see' here implies having sat in a Theatre/cinema to watch a movie.  It is still correct to say one watched a video.  I mean,  who were these people who began teaching these wrong English expressions. 

Bogus doesn't mean 'oversized' rather it simply means 'untrue'

By the way...  'Extreme end' and 'extreme limit' are correct expressions. They are boldly written in the dictionary.  Ask Professor Joy Eyisi,  she will tell you that these expressions are  proper English expressions.

Those of you that are keen on correcting me, please do.  I am here to learn as well.  That's why I have you here.

I love you all

How to use 'many a' and 'a great deal of' in a sentence. How to pronounce 'impasse'

Good morning KIB  earthlings. Lets get down to brass tacks. Let's look at the use of verbs. Yesterday someone brought a statement to me and enquired if it were correct. 'many a fellow knows the truth' Many a driver ploughs this road daily' 'Many a teacher doesn't know how to  English'. All these sentences are correct. According to Oxford dictionary, Many a: ( formal: always used with a singular noun and a singular verb) means a large number of something. E.g many a young person has experimented with drugs.   So,  don't pluralise anything in the sentence because there is an 'A' already. 'Many a teachers like to flog their students ' is wrong. 'A great deal' How do you use 'a great deal'? A great deal takes a singular verb. E.g A great deal of bananas is planted in the north. 'A great deal' takes a singular verb.  Finally,  the pronunciation of impasse is /'ampa:s/ Not (impas) It's not Enem

Is it 'off head', 'off hand' 'off pat' or 'by heart'?

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration. Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather than say, I know it offha
