TELAWAA: Saturday, July 16, 2016

 I keep hearing that one event or the other is scheduled to hold.... Sorry, may I say it for the umpteenth time: Events, activities, programmes,etc., don't hold. Instead, people hold them. Just say: "The event/programme/party would be held...." or "We will hold the event...." "They hold the meeting on a monthly basis." As such, you are saying people, rather, would gather to perform the act of holding the event, activity, programme, and so on. Don't even say: "My English class would hold tomorrow". It is totally incorrect to say, please! Is that clear enough?
