Telawaa: Did You Know?


On TELAWAA(The English Language Academy With Ayo Alonge).

Sorry, when you "book", it already implies that it was done advance. Hence, you don't have to add "in advance". You don't even add "for".

INCORRECT:
I have booked a room in advance in that hotel.

I have booked for a room in that hotel.

CORRECT:
I have booked a room in that hotel.

NB: By implication, "booking" entails that the action was performed in advance. So, avoid being tautologous.
