What does ‘borned’ mean? Is ‘borned’ a word?
Watch this short video to make sure you know the answer right here!
Hi, my name is Joel.
In this lesson I want to talk about a common mistake that a lot of my English students have made in their Skype classes.
The mistake is to say “borned.” This is not a word. We never say “borned” with the “ed”.
Never say it. We say “to be born.” That’s the correct way.
For example:
“I was born in January”.
“The baby was born last week.”
Or, if we want to talk about the future we can say it like this:
“My son will be born next month.”
“Her child will be born early next year.”
Or, in the infinitive:
“I don’t want my baby to be born in Los Angeles; I want my baby to be born in San Francisco.”
Alright, so those are the ways that we use the word “born” when we’re talking about a child being born.
So never say “borned.” Never say it.
I hope that this was helpful and that now you can use this tip to speak more fluently in English. Thanks for watching.
