❌ “I was opportuned to attend the conference.”

I have heard the above statement a lot and I think it's high time we addressed it.

THERE IS NO WORD LIKE “OPPORTUNED” IN ENGLISH.

Let’s break it down. 👇🏽

1️⃣ OPPORTUNITY is a NOUN

Opportunity means a favourable chance or occasion.

✅ I had the opportunity to meet him.

✅ She gave me an opportunity to speak.

2️⃣ OPPORTUNE is an ADJECTIVE

Opportune means suitable, favourable, or happening at a good time.

✅ It was an opportune moment to ask the question.

✅ He arrived at an opportune time.

Did you notice something?

We use opportune to describe a time, moment, occasion, etc.

We don't normally use it to mean “someone who has been given an opportunity.”

So:

❌ I was opportuned to meet him.

And because opportune is not a verb meaning “to give an opportunity,” we cannot simply add -ed:

❌ I was opportuned to meet him.

🎯 What you should say:

✅ I had the opportunity to meet him.

✅ I was fortunate enough to meet him.

✅ I had the privilege of meeting him.

Remember:

OPPORTUNITY = a chance

OPPORTUNE = suitable/favourable

OPPORTUNED = ❌ not the standard verb form you want here

“At 3 PM” vs “By 3 PM”

The correct expression depends on what you mean:

AT 3 PM = something happens exactly at 3 PM.

The class starts at 3 PM.

Call me at 3 PM.

The meeting begins at 3 PM.

BY 3 PM = something should happen no later than 3 PM. It can happen before 3 PM, but 3 PM is the deadline.

Submit your assignment by 3 PM.

I need the report by 3 PM.

Please arrive by 3 PM.

Remember:

AT = exact time
BY = deadline

So, if you mean “exactly 3 PM,” say “at 3 PM.”

If you mean “any time before or no later than 3 PM,” say “by 3 PM.”

Quick task
Please send me the document ___ 3 PM.

1. ❌ He is trickish.
✅ He is tricky.

📌 Tricky means difficult to deal with or likely to deceive; trickish is not the usual word in standard English.

2. ❌ Nigeria comprises of 36 states.
✅ Nigeria comprises 36 states.

📌 Comprise already means “consist of,” so “of” is unnecessary.

3. ❌ This is more better.
✅ This is better.

📌 Better is already the comparative form of good, so it does not take “more.”

4. ❌ He is good in English.
✅ He is good at English.

📌 We use “good at” to talk about ability or skill in a subject or activity.

5. ❌ Voice out your opinion.
✅ Voice your opinion.
✅ Speak out.

📌 Voice already means to express an opinion, while speak out means to express your thoughts openly.

Several times, I have received responses like these, mostly from entrepreneurs, and believe me, they don't sit well with me.

Below are better ways to respond when someone makes a payment.

I hope this helps.

Have you ever had this experience?

How did you feel?

1. ORDER

❌ I ordered for food.
✅ I ordered food.

❌ She ordered for a pizza.
✅ She ordered a pizza.

📌 “Order” can take the thing being ordered directly as its object.

2. REQUEST

❌ I requested for a refund.
✅ I requested a refund.

❌ She requested for more time.
✅ She requested more time.

📌 When “request” is used as a verb, it can take the thing being requested directly.

3. DEMAND

❌ The workers demanded for better conditions.
✅ The workers demanded better conditions.

❌ He demanded for an explanation.
✅ He demanded an explanation.

📌 “Demand” already takes the thing demanded directly, so “for” is unnecessary.

REMINDER

Don't automatically add a preposition just because it sounds familiar.

❌ Order for food
✅ Order food

❌ Request for a refund
✅ Request a refund

❌ Demand for an explanation
✅ Demand an explanation

NOTE 👇

You can ONLY use “request for,” “demand for,” and “order for” when the word is functioning as a NOUN

Examples:
• A request for information.
• A demand for change.
• An order for 50 books.

The lesson above is specifically about using these words as verbs.

We're not the ordinary book club! 💯

We don't just read books. We build children.

On our first day, our learners discovered The Power in My Name—turning every letter of their names into words that inspire confidence, character, and purpose.

Because when a child believes in who they are, they begin to believe in what they can become.

This is only Day One... and we're just getting started.

A sneak peek into some of our learners work! 😎

Read. Speak. Grow. Lead.

1. ❌ I am short of words.
✅ I am speechless.
✅ I am lost for words.

"Short of" means lacking something, but the natural expression for being unable to speak because of emotion or surprise is "speechless" or "lost for words."

2. ❌ She is an upcoming artiste.
✅ She is an up-and-coming artiste.

"Up-and-coming" is the standard idiomatic expression for someone who is becoming successful or gaining recognition.

3. ❌ She passed in flying colours.
✅ She passed with flying colours.

The fixed idiom is "with flying colours," meaning to achieve something with great success.

4. ❌ Enter into the room.
✅ Enter the room.

When enter means to go into a place, it takes a direct object, so "into" is unnecessary.

5. ❌ I prefer tea than coffee.
✅ I prefer tea to coffee.

The verb prefer is followed by "to," not "than," when comparing two things.
