有时会听到有人会以“How come” 来代替“ Why”来交谈；但我们必须注意的是“How come”是用来交谈，不用来写作！还有“How come” 与“ Why”在句子的文法构造有不同。
1. Why are you late ?
2. Why did you buy?
3. Why did Peter do it?
4. Why were they going there?
看看以下用“How come”的文法构造有不同点
1. How come you are late?
2. How come you bought it ?
3. How come Peter did it?
4. How come they were going there?有一位学生问我她看到有这么一段的英语是用了现在式( Present Simple)来表达未来还没发生或还没做的事，是什么原因呢？是不是错呢？
The plane leaves at 1000 pm tomorrow.
句子中的tomorrow 是明天；应该用未来式( Future Simple)，为什么用了现在式( Present Simple)?
这位学生问的没错， 句子应是 The Plane will leave at 1000 pm tomorrow. 但The plane leaves at 1000 pm tomorrow 是事前安排好的，计划好的，用了现在式( Present Simple)来部达未来已安排的未来的事是可接受的，你甚至可用现在进行式( Present Continuous Tense)来表达已安排好的未来的事情呢！ The plane is leaving at 1000 pm tomorrow.
记住：学英语要多听，多观察，多练习，英语文法是伸缩性的，不要让它绑了你！Sometimes it is quite an illusion reading some statements made by our political opposition contradicting with the passage of times. It clearly shows their political gimmicks with playful orchestra to amuse and please the public without any sense of maturity and interests of rakyat in heart.
The 2016 Budget is undeniably full of goodies for Sabahans and Sarawkians and most people especially those from Sabah and Sarawak would hail it as the budgeted projects and infrastructure have been overdue. Some MPs from Pakatan had lambasted the Government in the past for neglect of these states. Ironically, when the 2016 Budget was tabled in the parliament, these MPs had not shown positive applause but made negative response.
Similarly, when the budgets were giving incentives and reliefs to business corporate and enterprising to promote their industries, some of the opposition MPs chided the Government for not people friendly and termed the budget as Richman or Businessman Budget. However, In the 2016 Budget, the Government raised the personal income tax from 25% to 26% for those earning between RM600,000 to RM1 million and from 25% to 28% for those earning RM1 million and above, some MPs from the opposition negated contradictorily.
The above scenario has been a norm in Malaysia politics. The reason is simple because we don’t have any statesman but only politicians without any maturity but greed of power.The problem of haze has been plaguing us for the last two months and it seems the situation will remain till the change from the direction of wind from north east monsoon. It means that we have to face and live with the haze for another few weeks.
With the situations getting worse, there are delays and cancellation of flights, closure of schools and cancellation of outdoor activities. Undoubtedly, the most effected sector is tourism as many tourists will prefer to shunt Malaysia for other unaffected countries for their holidays. The Hoteliers need help from the government whether it is temporary or otherwise to weather this haze situation.
The Penang Government has imposed hotel room tax since June 2014 and these taxes collected, as explained by the Penang Local government, would be utilized for the promotion and assistance in the tourist industry. Now it is the right time for the Penang Government to reciprocate. Penang Government can stop collecting these room tax till the haze problem is solved and also the hoteliers can keep those fees collected but not yet paid as a relief. This suggestion, of course, may not help much to alleviate their financial loss but it may signify the commitment of the Statement Government to the tourist industry.1．It rained yesterday. 不及物动词
It was rained yesterday 错
2．The accident happened this morning不及物动词
The accident was happened this morning. 错
3．The small boys sat on the chairs. 不及物动词
The small boys were sat on the chairs. 错
4．The football team reached the stadium late. 不及物动词
The football team was reached the stadium late. 错
5．She arrived hurriedly. 不及物动词
She was arrived hurriedly. 错
上面的句子中的 rained, happened, sat, reached 和 arrived 是rain, happen, sit , reach 和arrive 的过去式词。要解释的是在英语中，它们是属于不及物动词INTRANSITIVE VERB不须要is, was, are 和 were 的 verb to be.
1. He ate. 错
He ate an apple. 及物动词
2. I bought yesterday.错
I bought it yesterday. 及物动词
3. She gave this morning. 错
She gave the answer this morning. 及物动词
4. He hit. 错
He hit me. 及物动词
5. The naughty boy kicked. 错
The naughty boy kicked the little cat. 及物动词
上面的句子中的 ate, bought, gave, hit 和kicked 是 eat, buy, give, hit 和kick 的过去式词。它们是它们是属于及物动词TRANSITIVE VERB 须要有物或名词 (NOUN)才是句子的完成，没有了apple, it, answer, me , 和a little cat，这些及物就是不圆满！Past tense 过去式和 Past Perfect tense 过去完成式的用法和分别在那里？
那就看你能否分辨出以下的不同吗？
He went there and she left. 过去式 （PAST TENSE ）
He went there and she had left. 过去完成式 ( PAST PERFECT TENSE )
如果我用华语来翻译上面的句子，它们是
He went there and she left.他去到那边，她离开了。
这段句子，没有很明确的解释 （1）他到那边先呢？（2）还是她先离开？（3）或者他一到，女的就离开！
但如果是第二句子，它用了Past Perfect tense 过去完成式，情况就很明显！
He went there and she had left. 这句子的翻译是他去到那边时，她已经离开。（两者都没碰过面）
Past Perfect tense 过去完成式 的用法和要点就是表达先完成的事；在过去的时间所做的，所发生的，用Past Perfect tense来表达吧！
记得Past Perfect tense 须用 had 加 past participle 过去分词； 如 had written , had gone, had sung 等。在庆祝九皇大帝诞辰的日子里，我们可以看到人生百态，人性的贪欲和利用神明蠢弄虔诚的信徒。在素食的庆典中的人。他们大体上可分为两种人，一种是卖素食斋菜者，还有另一种就是虔诚的持素者。这些持素者因为虔诚而在九天的庆祝九皇大帝诞辰的日子每天三餐都吃素，但为了方便不得不在路边素食档填饱肚子。这些的虔诚的持素者就是路边素食档的最爱，最欢迎的顾客！
在庆祝九皇大帝诞辰的售卖素食斋菜者可分为三大类，第一类者，他们没有宗教背景，他们不相信九皇大帝只是利用其诞辰来捞取暴利，他们漫天开价，把来用餐的素食弄得敢怒不敢言！试问如果他们相信九皇大帝，尊敬九皇大帝，他们是绝对不敢在售价上胡作非为的！第二类者是有佛教背景开餐馆售卖素食斋菜，他们的售价也是昂贵但比第一类者是稍微低。第三类者也是有宗教背景的，他们是来自一贯教。第三类者的售价比第一者和第二者便宜许多，他们的饮料也可能不涨价，与平常的售价一样。
但不管如何，吃素的人记得吃素要吃的有智慧，远离那些贪欲不良的档口吧！消费税的运行，马币对美元兑换率的下跌，过路费的调高，百物的涨价等等都让我国人民期待2016年的财政预算案会有派糖果性质，减轻人民生活负担的元素！
其实，很多人都不知道有一群为数不少的人不管有无消费税的运行，马币兑换率的波动如何，过路费的有否调高，百物的有无涨价，他们每年都在等待常年的财政预算案会带来好消息，会真正减轻经济的压力，但期待归期待，似乎失望和落空每年总是与他们同在！这一群人就是全身近乎瘫痪行动不得的残疾人士。
一般上，残疾人士的身体状况在我国的福利部的类别记录上并没有任何的分类需求；无论是坐在轮椅者，须躺在床上者，装上义肢者，盲者都是归类于（OKU）残疾人士。这唯一的归类的确切是不公平，试想身体能动或只是难走动坐在轮椅者与完完全全须靠他人来抱，靠他人来抬的躺在床上的残疾人士以什么标准来归于类同呢？这个不公的并合同组制造了许多的不便和不利。在目前的福利部的残疾人士财政援助计划，所有在福利部注册的残疾人士会获得每月三百五十令吉；2015年的财政预算案是调高了五十令吉。这是否有欠公平？ 须整天躺在床上的近乎瘫痪者肯定是完全失去经济能力，不像其他的能走动的残疾人士一样接领福利部每月发给的三百五十令吉！
我国国内有许多为残疾人士所设立学习“独立生活”的团体和机构，但近乎瘫痪者不是这些所谓学习“独立生活”机构的目标，它们的理想人选是能够走动的残疾人士非躺在床上的残疾人士。通常躺在床上的残疾人士是有家人尤其是父母照顾，问题会出现，如果家人不在时，躺在床上的残疾人士由谁来照顾？ 据知，国内目前尚没有任何一家团体和机构，甚至慈善机构或医疗中心会收留这群不能“独立生活”的残疾人士！
希望2016年的财政预算案会把这群不幸人士的每月福利金调高，建设收留不能“独立生活”的残疾人士的医疗中心。素食节又到了！每逢农历九月初一至初九，就是九皇大帝的诞辰；其虔诚的信徒都会在这庆祝九天的期间持素不吃鱼肉等荤腥食物。就因信徒们的持素，一时槟岛有多个地方尤其是近九皇大帝斗母宫寺庙处出现了许多挂着黄色标榜着九皇大帝的旗帜或布条的素食摊子。
这些临时和应景出现的素食摊子的确提供不少的方便给与吃素者；但这九天庆祝九皇大帝的诞辰的日子，我们都可以听到，看到另一个丑陋的生活实景！那就是卖素食者的贪欲！吃素者是带着虔诚的心来吃，然而摆卖者却利用吃素者的善心和持素决心狠狠的来“杀”来“砍”漫天开价地大赚特赚！
素食摊子所卖的食物和饮料的价格都比一般荤腥的食物价格高得很多，有的甚至高的离谱。素食摊主给的理由是原料和菜料涨价！倘若我们详细来推算和比较当时素食和荤腥食物的售卖的价格，我们会不禁一问为何素食的价格会高过非素食的多，有些甚至高达约三十巴仙之多！说一句不过分的话，这就是典型的利用宗教来满足私利的例子！话虽如此，但以经济市场的言论来说，价格是由市场的顾客来定，吃素者是在“一个愿打，一个愿挨”的情况下而付出钱，不能怪谁，只能怪己！
吃素或持素是好的修养，但如能远离暴利的摊格，选择有点良心的摊子，也是一种修行啊！读完了Inversion in English Grammar英语语法的反转法，以下的句子，你有把握分辨那个是对是错？
1. Not once he complained about Allan.
2. Only if two parties sit down and talk, misunderstanding can be avoided.
3. Only when he screamed we realized that he was injured.
4. Only under special circumstances approval will be granted.
上面的句子开端都是用了限制性副词(restrictive adverbs)，正确的句子是
1. Not once did he complain about Allan.
2. Only if two parties sit down and talk, can misunderstanding be avoided.
3. Only when he screamed, did we realize that he was injured.
4. Only under special circumstances, will approval be granted.对于檳州政府向高庭申請准令，以入稟法庭挑戰內政部長阿末扎希宣佈檳州志願巡邏隊（PPS）為非法組織的指令案，高庭司法專員哥林諾溫于本月八日駁回州政府的申請。这也意味着檳州志願巡邏隊還是被列為非法組織。
檳州政府是否会上诉，州政府之代表律師柯淑燕受詢時指出，州政府方面將會等待書面判詞出爐後才能得知是否要上訴。 其实，不论司法检讨法庭的判决如何，在整个槟州志愿巡逻队的合法性的课题上，以行动党为首也为主的檳州政府的一举一动将会让全国人民看到以民联为首的槟州政府的问责性，可靠度和可信度的顶点和底线。如果法庭的判决是对槟州政府有利，应是没问题；但假如法庭的判决是槟州志愿巡逻队非法，以林冠英为首的槟州行政议会就必须辞职以示负责。道理简单不过（1）成立非法组织 （2）提供款项于非法组织。当然，如果判决是对槟州政府有利，槟州政府或林冠英也可喊叫內政部长拿督斯里阿末扎希和全国总警长丹斯里卡辞职或联邦政府道歉和赔偿。
一直以来，行动党给人民的印像是负责性和具有公信性，任何一位部长倘若在言论，行动，决定上有点差错和不妥，行动党的文告往往都是要求道歉，辞职等；要不然就是在国会召开是动议对有关的部长减薪。行动党能够在前两次的大选获得压倒性的胜利，同时得到逾八十巴仙华裔的选票，那是因为众多的人民希望看到一个有问责性，敢于承担，一有差错，毫无有一点对官职恋栈不去的人民代议士！当了槟城政府的行动党，不能有双重标准，对联邦政府的部长要求特别高，反而对自已本身或自已的官员睁一眼闭另一眼。官员犯错而引咎辞职的风气在我国不很流行，如我国要成为先进国，在政府长官处和行政处问责行态和引咎辞职的是必要的！Inversion in English Grammar英语语法的反转法有一定的重要性；一般上，它出现在否定性副词(Negative adverbs)或限制性副词(restrictive adverbs).
否定性副词(Negative adverbs)的例子如 never, at no time, under no circumstances , not until, in no way 或限制性副词(restrictive adverbs)的rarely, scarcely, seldom, only once, little 等。
在Inversion in English Grammar英语语法的反转法，上面的否定性副词(Negative adverbs)和/或限制性副词(restrictive adverbs)都是在句子的前端。 看看以下的句子吧！

对于已逾一个多月因烧林毁树而造成东南亚多国如新加坡和我国的人民每天须遭受烟霾之苦，不卫生空气之威胁，但我们至今还是未看到印尼未有任何的实际行动来避免同样的烟霾不会再次发生！相同的，我国也没有实际和积极的反应面对每年似乎肯定发生的烟霾问题。
要禁止大企业，大集团来燃烧树林，火毁芭林，印尼政府须修改法案来严重的处罚放火烧林者，罚款的数额须制止性不是警告性质的。要禁止大企业，大集团来燃烧树林，小数目的罚金绝对起不了作用，唯有加重罚金或牢刑才能引起警戒的效应。
我国也可仿效邻国新加坡依据2014年越境烟雾污染法令起草法案来起诉那些涉嫌烧林毁树的我国在印尼的公司。烟霾问题已是不能解决的旧课题，年复一年，相信未来的日子，我们还是会面对之。很明显的，印尼正在利用我国与它的友好关系，消费我们的容忍。也许，我国应考虑向印尼索取赔偿！
知错能改是美德，明知故犯是缺德，犯错后又没有改过心，缺乏诚信。不时犯错，不时道歉，次数多，公信力，可靠度就减失。人民对他们往后的道歉就自动有保留，有怀疑心。印尼政府请拿出实际行动来，不要一直在敷衍，逃避责任。
