Basic Sentence Patterns

A. PATTERN 1: N be Adj There is relationship between the noun and the verb, and we can describe this noun-verb relationship by saying that the noun is tied to the verb , and the noun is the subject of the verb. In this pattern the grammatical meaning of the subject is "that which is described." If the noun changed to the plural form, we must also change the verb to the plural form." Examples: Man is clever. Men are clever. We can test for pattern 1 by adding (very): Man is very clever. B. PATTERN 2: N be UW The verb be in pattern 2 usually has the meaning of "be located" and the third position is occupied by a type of uninflected word (adverbial).

14 Methods for Improving Your Spoken English Without a Speaking Partner 1. Think in English.

Whenever you’re at home (or alone somewhere else) you can practice your English wit...

Many people struggle with writing in English and it can seem like a real challenge to improve. Don’t worry, though. Here are some simple steps that you can take to improve your written English and impress people with your writing skills. Expand your vocabulary To express yourself clearly, you need a good active vocabulary. That’s not just being able to recognise lots of words – it means actually being able to use them correctly. Do this by learning new words with example sentences, not just word lists. Tip: When you learn a new word, try learn all the forms of that word and the prepositions that are usually used with it. (For example, rather than just the word ‘depend’, make a note of: to depend on, to be dependent on, a dependant.) Master English spelling You must know how to spell those words correctly. Incorrect spelling changes the meaning of your sentence. For example: ‘bare’ and ‘bear’ sound the same but ‘bare’ means naked and ‘bear’ is a large ani...
