Macbeth’s dialogue “cannot be ill, cannot be good” reflects his state of a dilemma about the three witches’ prophecy. He notices that something which the witches have prophesied has come true. He says that though these words are true still they have negativity in them. When he considers them a good one, he feels terrified about the murder of King Dunken which he committed after listening to the prophecies. And when he considers them a bad and evil prophecy, he thinks about the promotions he had achieved after it.

Read this dialog from Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue":

Harman [31]

The verbal conjugations present several mistakes, such as lack of differentiation of singular and plural conjugation, incorrect or missing use of appropriate verbal tenses (simple past tense), incorrect use of auxiliary verbs, incorrect use of gerunds and infinitives. The sentence construction is also deficient, discourse is plagued by fragments and lack of grammatical subjects.
