Old book on confusing words
|
|
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone remembers a really old book, which I believe was from Penguin, which illustrated confusing words. I remember this sentence: I have an excellent cooker (to show the difference between cook and cooker) and there was a picture of a cooker wearing an apron. It was an amazing book and I can �t find it anywhwere. If anyone can help, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks in advance. jfaraujo |

There are some old English grammar books that help us know mistakes in writings. I also have an old one, but i don �t have a pdf to send you. Sorry for this, but i think everyone can help you in this forum!!! For me, the difference between �cook � and �cooker � is: �cook � is a noun which means a chef, and �cooker � is a thing used to cook rice, so you should say: I have an excellent cook instead of cooker. if you want to show a new thing you �ve just bought such as a new electric cooker, you should say: I have just bought a new electric cooker. Have a nice time! |

If you could just recollect its author or the name, it would be easier to look for the book.

The problem is that I cannot remember the name of the book or its author. Thank you to both of you for trying to help me. |

I think the book is : Is that what you mean? This morning I was teaching my students the difference between She goes to work by car and she goes to work with a car. Obviously, we had a few laughs.. I definitely think that is the book you refer to . |

For those who want to see the book, if you google the title, you will find a copy of both volumes. I won �t post the link here, because I �m sure the copies are illegal. Bruce |
