Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Lesson 338. The title of today's lesson
-
is instructions on how to do something not instructions how to do something. So
-
especially students of ESL, they probably will often omit the "on, " but that's very,
-
very important. So we should always say instructions on how to do something. Not
-
just instructions how to do something. Again you know, a native speaker would
-
probably understand this, but he would catch that doesn't sound quite right.
-
It doesn't sound quite proper. So this is why you want to correct this problem.
-
All right. So again let's look at the note here. With the X of course, this is wrong.
-
So here's the first example. The game came with instructions how to play. Yeah.
-
You know, a Westerner would definitely understand this. But of course, the proper
-
and the correct way to say you know, with the check here, would be the game came
-
with instructions on how to play. That's the way we would use it. That's correct.
-
All right. The second example. The car came with a manual that had instructions how
-
to fix or change parts. Yes. So of course again with the with the check this would
-
be correct. You should say the car came with a manual that had instructions on
-
how to fix or change parts. So make sure you use that 'on." This is another common
-
mistake by ESL students. They will omit the "on" here. And the third one. Can you
-
give me instructions how to fix my computer? No. Can you .... So of course
-
with the X that was wrong. With the check this is correct. Can you give me
-
instructions on how to fix my computer ? Okay, good, I hope you got it. I hope it's
-
clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
