英会話プライベートレッスン

Greetings and good day and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

So, today’s topic is yet another case of coming across some text that was written on the window of a restaurant. I know they mean well, but I figured I would explain this in full detail as it seems there is some misconception on the usage of certain words.

So, the text read “Please ask staffs in 1st floor”. The more proper way would be: “Please ask the staff on the 1st floor”. Staff is one those tricky words that is always plural, so it never needs an “s” at the end. Floor is one of those places that gets the word “on”. Places and the words that go with them are tricky indeed.

Anyway, this is the conclusion concluding the post of the week. As always, the difficult words have been emphasized in a way that appears just like this. That is the end of this chapter.
