SPOT THE ERROR 32

One of the many things that we can do on Facebook is to post inspiring quotation or words of wisdom online. It is very interesting though, despite the good intention, sometimes the meaning has totally changed because of the grammar error that is found in it.

This is just one example of the aforesaid issue. Theme: the end of Ramadhan and the arrival of the month of Syawal.


I wonder what will "shaitan" (satan) be releasing? The writer must have some problems in passive sentence construction.

  1. Teacher Zainal, should it be "Satan will be released soon" ?

  2. YUP. and with that structure, it should be in the passive voice.
