Work + Homework + Works | Using Correct English Vocabulary

Guys, did you do your English homeworks?

Guys, ginawa mo ba ang iyong English homeworks?

Wait, what? That's not right.

Ano nga ulit? Hindi yan tama.

Hello, guys. My name is F@nny.

Hello, guys. Ang pangalan ko ay F@nny.

And in this video, I'm gonna talk to you about

At sa video na ito, makikipag-usap ako sa iyo tungkol

a very common speaking and spelling mistake in English.

sa isang napakakaraniwang

pagkakamali sa pagsasalita at pagbabaybay sa Ingles.

And we're going to focus on the words, ‘work’ and ‘homework’.

At kami ay pagpunta sa tumutok sa mga salita,

'trabaho'

at 'araling-bahay'.

So the first thing you need to know, When the word ‘work’ is a verb, it can

Kaya ang unang bagay na kailangan mong malaman,

Kapag ang salitang 'trabaho' ay isang pandiwa,

take an ‘s’, if it's the third-person singular.

maaari itong tumagal ng 's', kung ito ay ang pangatlong panauhan na isahan.

So you will say, ‘I work hard.’ ‘He works hard.’

Kaya sasabihin mo, 'Nagsusumikap ako.'

'Nagtatrabaho siya ng mabuti.' Sige?

Okay? Very common, very normal verb, okay?

Very common, very normal verb, okay?

So it takes an ‘S’ with the third-person singular.

Kaya kailangan ng 'S' sa pangatlong panauhan na isahan.

That's when ‘work’ is a verb.

Iyan ay kapag ang 'trabaho' ay isang pandiwa.

Now when you say, ‘I have a lot of work.’

Ngayon kapag sinabi mong, 'Marami akong trabaho.'

‘work’, in this case, is not a verb. It's a noun.

Ang 'trabaho', sa kasong ito, ay hindi isang pandiwa. Ito ay isang pangngalan.

And you have to know.

At kailangan mong malaman.

When work is a noun, it does not take an ‘s’, because there's no plural.

Kapag ang trabaho ay isang pangngalan,

hindi ito kumukuha ng 's',

dahil walang plural.

You cannot say, ‘I have a lot of works.’

Hindi mo masasabing, 'Marami akong gawa.'

It’s always singular, because it's an uncountable noun.

Ito ay palaging isahan, dahil ito ay isang hindi mabilang na pangngalan.

Okay? So, ‘I have a lot of work’

Sige? Kaya, 'Marami akong trabaho'

Or you could say, ‘I don't have much work.’, Okay? Because it's uncountable.

O maaari mong sabihin, 'Wala akong gaanong trabaho.',

Okay? Dahil ito ay hindi mabilang.

Ngayon ay maaari itong magkaroon ng plural na anyo,

Now it can take a plural form, but only if it means not mental exertion like

ngunit kung ang ibig sabihin nito ay hindi mental exertion

‘I have a lot of work.’

tulad ng 'Marami akong trabaho.'

But if it means a series of art pieces or literature pieces.

Ngunit kung ito ay nangangahulugan ng isang serye ng mga piraso ng sining o mga piraso ng panitikan.

And that's the only meaning of the word 'work' that allows you to use the plural form.

At iyon ang tanging kahulugan ng salitang 'trabaho'

na nagpapahintulot sa iyo na gamitin ang plural na anyo.

So for example, you can say, ‘The works of Picasso.’

Kaya halimbawa, maaari mong sabihin, 'Ang mga gawa ng Picasso.'

‘The works of Picasso’ meaning ‘The paintings of Picasso’, okay?

'The works of Picasso'

meaning 'The paintings of Picasso', okay?

So art pieces, that's not the same as ‘I have a lot of work.’

Kaya ang mga art piece,

hindi iyon katulad ng 'Marami akong trabaho.'

Okay?

Sige?

Now, when you use the compound noun, ‘homework’,

Ngayon, kapag ginamit mo ang tambalang pangngalan, 'araling-bahay',

it's exactly the same as 'work' as an uncountable noun.

ito ay eksaktong kapareho ng 'trabaho' bilang isang hindi mabilang na pangngalan.

It's uncountable, okay?

Ito ay hindi mabilang, okay?

So when you say, ‘I have a lot of homeworks.’, it's wrong.

Kaya kapag sinabi mong, 'Marami akong takdang-aralin.',

mali.

Hindi mo maaaring gamitin ang plural form.

You cannot use the plural form. It’s uncountable. You have to say, ‘I have a lot of homework.’

Ito ay hindi mabilang.

Kailangan mong sabihin, 'Marami akong takdang-aralin.'

If you really want to emphasize the fact that you have many things to do at home,

Kung gusto mo talagang bigyang-diin

ang katotohanan na marami kang dapat gawin sa bahay,

you can use another word and say, ‘assignment’.

maaari kang gumamit ng ibang salita at sabihin, 'assignment'.

You can say, 'I have many assignments.’

Masasabi mong, 'Marami akong assignment.'

It's the same as 'homework', but it is countable. Okay?

Ito ay kapareho ng 'araling-bahay', ngunit ito ay mabibilang.

Sige? Kaya sa madaling sabi, ang 'trabaho' bilang isang pandiwa,

So in a nutshell, ‘work’ as a verb, just does take an ‘s’.

ay tumatagal ng isang 's'.

If it's the third-person singular.

Kung ito ay ang pangatlong panauhan na isahan.

‘work’ as a noun is uncountable, unless it means pieces of art or pieces of literature.

'trabaho' bilang isang pangngalan ay hindi mabilang,

maliban kung ito ay nangangahulugan ng mga piraso ng sining o mga piraso ng panitikan.

And the word ‘homework’ is also uncountable. No plural form.

At hindi rin mabilang ang salitang 'homework'.

Walang plural form.
