IS YOUR ENGLISH

CORRECT?.

INQUIRE

As a rule of pood English, the word "inquire" should never be used where "ask" will do.

You can "inquire into the matter," but you ask the time (or the way)."

SINCE AND AGO"

Wrong la: "It is a week ago since they arrived." The "ago" should be dropped.

Wrong la: "They arrived a week since." This should read "ago" in- stead of "since."

"HEGIRA"

The Arable word for "fight" is normally used in reference to the fight of the Prophet, from which the Muslim calendar is reckoned. It is pronounced "Ilejra" (two syllables) |not "Ifej-eye-ra."

"EVENTUALITY”

This word is frequently misused. "In such an eventuality" should be "in such en event.” "If that evçn- tuality should arise" should be "if that should happen."
