Anyway Vs. Anyways


One of the frequent errors in speaking English is saying "anyways" instead of "anyway". I noticed that even UP students make this common mistake. "Anyway" is the right word to use. This is similar with saying "anything" because "any" is always accompanied by a noun in its singular form. Therefore, you don't say "anythings", "anywheres", and "anyways".

Here is a link I would like to share with the class regarding my blog:

    I admit that I made the mistake of using "anyways."

    Though "anyways" is common in speaking English, it is considered non-standard.

    I admit that I am guilty of using "anyways". I will try to avoid using it from now on. :D
