michaelhenke on Nostr: The sentence "Satoshi must of gotten to Dimon" is not only grammatically incorrect ...
The sentence "Satoshi must of gotten to Dimon" is not only grammatically incorrect but also reflects a profound misunderstanding of basic English contractions. The correct form is "Satoshi must've gotten to Dimon," where "must've" is the contraction of "must have."
Using "must of" in place of "must've" is a common yet egregious error. "Of" is a preposition and has no place in this context. The verb form "have" is required here to form the correct past perfect tense, indicating that the action was completed in the past.
Therefore, the sentence should be properly written as:
Satoshi must've gotten to Dimon.
Please ensure you understand the difference between contractions and prepositions to avoid such glaring mistakes in the future. Misusing basic grammatical structures undermines the clarity and professionalism of your writing.
