Introducing the Real English Website

2009-05-03T14:59:00.007-04:00

Learning English requires lots of input - self processing and integrating - then output.

This is a free internet resource for English students and teachers.

Real English is an ESL/EFL site that uses authentic and natural videos of people speaking real English on the streets.

Designed for individuals learning English Real English offers unique ESL lessons of normal speech that is understandable for all levels of students.

No need to sign in. The lessons are all free and free-access.

The "RE" site combines ESL/EFL grammar and functions with the spontaneity provided by the people we met casually during our filming campaigns. You will not find any actors here. All of our clips are based on people being themselves, speaking naturally and spontaneously, just like in the situations which learners will deal with when their training is finished, when they travel to English-speaking countries, or when they welcome English speakers into their homes and offices.

The "RE" videos are based on targeted grammar structures and social functions, providing an anchor and a counterpoint to the spontaneity of street video. This unique approach is greatly appreciated by teachers who have been using traditional materials, which present us with actors speaking slowly and distinctly, as if the real world were slow and distinct.

The lessons include images directly related to what the speakers are saying, as well as additional audio files, providing meaning for beginners and intermediate students alike.

Go to http://www.real-english.com/ and try out the free English lessons.

How to Improve Long-term English Language Learning

2008-11-22T10:58:00.004-05:00

How to Improve Long-term English Language Learning

In the article "The 3 most Important Factors that determine English Language learning Success" the First Factor is knowing yourself as a student.

There are some key questions you should know as they all form part of the first factor that determines your English Language learning Success. How many times Do you have to write and repeat English words to memorize them, put them into your vocabulary and "know" the word in proper context? How often do you have to repeat lessons to keep your vocabulary intact? To Go to the full article: http://english-lessons-in-canada.blogspot.com/

In a recent SCIENCE NEWS ARTICLE "Improving Long-term Learning Through Spacing Of Lessons" the Coauthors Nicholas Cepeda of York University and UC San Diego, Doug Rohrer of the University of South Florida, and Edward Vul of UC San Diego and MIT stated: "The results imply," said Pashler, "that instruction that packs a lot of learning into a short period is likely to be extremely inefficient, at least for remembering factual information."

The results suggest, Pashler said, the optimal amount of time over which learning should take place depends upon how long the information needs to be retained: "If you want to remember information for just a week, it is probably best if study sessions are spaced out over a day or two. On the other hand, if you want to remember information for a year, it is best for learning to be spaced out over about a month."

Extrapolating from the results, he added, "it seems plausible that whenever the goal is for someone to remember information over a lifetime, it is probably best for them to be re-exposed to it over a number of years."

10 Most Important English Grammar Points

2008-10-25T15:35:00.002-04:00

10 Most Important English Grammar Points

1. The concept of the simple sentence.

The simple sentence basics: subjects, verbs, objects,

2. The four basic English sentence types which includes the three main-verb BE patterns, basic questions, commands and negative forms.

3. Verb forms.

Verbs are the heavy lifters of English. You have to know tenses, passive verbs, gerunds, infinitives and modal auxiliaries.

4. Singular and plural

This includes subject-verb agreement, pronoun agreement, and the concepts of count and noncount nouns.

5. The concept of articles.

Students should understand the concepts underlying article use in English.

6. Pronoun reference.

Students have to be able to find the noun a pronoun was referring to.

7. Prepositions.

Relationships are properly indicated with prepositions and prepositional phrases. Again the concepts behind the proper use of prepositions are important.

8. The concept of modification as the process of slightly changeing the meaning.

How adjectives modify nouns, adverbs can modify adjectives, verbs or whole sentences, nouns can modify other nouns, one clause can modify another, phrases can modify nouns etc ...

9. The concept of subordination and it's use in clauses.

The three types of dependent clauses: adverb, adjective and noun. Adverb clauses show relationships between the idea in one part of a sentence and the idea in the other part of the sentence. Adjective clauses modify nouns. Noun clauses function as nouns.

10. The concept of coordination.

The concept of Parallel structures is a very important for brevity and conciseness in English.

Council of Europe European Language Portfolio

2008-10-20T11:10:00.005-04:00

The European Language Portfolio is a three-part document for students who are learning or have learned a language - whether at school or outside school - can record and reflect on their language learning and cultural experiences.

The first part of the European Language Portfolio contains a language passport which can be regularly updated to illustrate the current status of language proficiency.

The Passport section provides an overview of the individual's proficiency in different languages at a given point in time; the overview is defined in terms of skills and the common reference levels in the Common European Framework; it records formal qualifications and describes language competencies and significant language and intercultural learning experiences; it includes information on partial and specific competence; it allows for self-assessment, teacher assessment and assessment by educational institutions and examinations boards; it requires that information entered in the Passport states on what basis, when and by whom the assessment was carried out.

To facilitate pan-European recognition and mobility a standard presentation of a Passport Summary is promoted by the Council of Europe for ELPs for adults. A grid is provided where his/her language competences can be described according to common criteria accepted throughout Europe and which can serve as a complement to customary certificates.

The second part of the European Language Portfolio also contains a detailed language biography describing the student's experiences in each language. The Language Biography facilitates the learner's involvement in planning, reflecting upon and assessing his or her learning process and progress; it encourages the learner to state what he/she can do in each language and to include information on linguistic and cultural experiences gained in and outside formal educational contexts; it is organised to promote plurilingualism i.e. the development of competencies in a number of languages.

The third part of the European Language Portfolio is a dossier where examples of personal work can be kept to illustrate one's language competences. The Dossier offers the learner the opportunity to select materials to document and illustrate achievements or experiences previously recorded in the Language Biography and language Passport.

For additional Council of Europe European Language Portfolio information go to:

Joke for Learn English laughing

2008-10-06T10:26:00.001-04:00

The wife is driving her and her husband along a highway at 60 miles per hour.

The husband suddenly looks over at her and says, "Honey, I know we've been married for 20 years, but I want a divorce."

The wife says nothing but slowly pushes the speed up to 70 mph.

The husband continues: "I don't want you to try to talk me out of it, because I've been having an affair with your best friend, and she's a better lover than you are."

The wife remains quiet but speeds up to 75 mph as she gets angry.

The husband continues: "I want the house". Again the wife speeds up, to 80 mph.

The husband starts to press his luck: "I want the car, too." The wife still quiet just drives faster and faster. By now she's up to ninety mph.

Frustrated by the silence he says "All right, I want the bank accounts, and all the credit cards, too."

The wife slowly starts to veer toward a bridge.

This makes the husband a bit nervous, so he says, "Isn't there anything you want?"

The wife says, "No, I've got everything I need."

"Oh, really," he says, "so what have you got?"

Right before they slam into the bridge at a 100 mph, the wife smiles and says,

"The airbag"

English Subjects for Sentences

2008-07-05T15:14:00.002-04:00

Before you write an English sentence you have to get organized.

The first stage of organization is choosing the single or complete thought that you are stating, describing, explaining or asking.

The thought should include 1. a subject, and 2. an action or state of being.

Lets describe the different available English subjects to be used in our example sentence.

You can use yourself as the subject of your sentence. You can use your brothers or sisters or any or all of your family members as the subject of your sentence. You can use neighbors, friends, people you know, even people you do not know as the subject of your sentence. In fact you can use anybody (living or dead) as the subject of your sentence.

Maybe you want to use your pet dog or goldfish as the subject of your sentence. You can use any (living or dead) insect, bird, mammal, reptile, fish, bacteria or any creature as the subject of your sentence.

Maybe you want to use your new toy, Sentence Master Game, computer software, hybrid car, house, office or space pen as the subject of your sentence. You can use any naturally constructed or man made items or objects as the subject of your sentence.

Maybe you want to use another person's new car, laptop computer, motorcycle or funny tie as the subject of your sentence. You can use any other person's naturally constructed or man made items or objects as the subject of your sentence.

Maybe you want to use your pet dog's possessions as the subject of your sentence. You can use any (living or dead) insect, bird, mammal, reptile, fish, bacteria or any creature's possessions or objects as the subject of your sentence.

You may want to use your actions as your subject of your sentence. You can use swimming or running as subjects for your sentence. Almost all visible actions can be sentence subjects.

You may want to use another person's actions as the subject of your sentence. You can use their swimming or running as subjects for your sentence. Almost all visible actions performed by another can be sentence subjects.

You may want to use a natural process or an animal's or machines' actions as the subject of your sentence. Almost all visible actions performed by mother nature, all creatures and machines can be used as sentence subjects.

You may want to use invisible actions as your subject of your sentence. These invisible actions are also described as intangible actions. You can use your thinking or dreaming or wondering as intangible actions as subject of your sentence.

You may want to use another person's invisible or intangible actions as the subject of your sentence. You can use another person's daydreaming or fantasizing as intangible actions as subject of your sentence.

You may use your state of being as the subject of your sentence. The state of being is also considered an intangible item. You can use your feeling happy or sad as the intangible subject of your sentence.

You may also use another person's state of being as the subject of your sentence. You can use their feeling happy or sad as the intangible subject of your sentence.

You may want to use an un-real item or action or state of being as the subject or your sentence. You can use imaginary people, animals, objects, planets, actions, thoughts, and other intangibles as the subject of your sentence. In fact you can use imaginary characteristics of your imaginary friend's pet "axelyrty" as the subject of your sentence.

You may want to use a small amount of imagination and only use imaginary thoughts or feelings or actions to a real person, animal, object or machine.

As a writer of English sentences you have an extremely wide choice of available subjects. you can use English sentences to write about anything both real and unreal.

The second stage of organization is choosing 2. an action or state of being.

Let's describe the different available actions or states of being that can be used in our sentences.

We can use visible, invisible or intangible actions in our sentence. We can use real or unreal actions in our sentence.

We can use visible, invisible or intangible states of being in our sentence. We can use real or unreal states of being in our sentence.

The very simple aspect about writing English sentences is that if you can think about "it" then "it" can probably be used as an action or state of being and even a subject in an English sentence.

Overused and Mis-applied Words during 2007

2008-04-30T15:47:00.005-04:00

Overused Words during 2007

Word fads come and go and 2007 was the same as all previous years.

Some nominations for overused and mis-applied words words during 2007 include:

"organic"
"perfect storm"
"post-9/11"
"surge"
"Webinar"
"x is the new y"
"70 is the new 50"
"chocolate is the new sex"
"add pop"
"give back"
"sweet"
"it is what it is"
"emotional"
"decimate"
"throw under the bus"
"wordsmithing"

It is difficult when learning English to know what words are "hot" and what are passe. Sometimes it is very difficult to write when trying to project the image of being hip or cool. Groovy Eh.

Introduction to English Clauses

2008-04-26T16:47:00.002-04:00

A clause is an organized group of words with a subject and a verb.

A main clause is an independent clause, which can stand alone as a complete sentence.

A subordinated clause is a dependent clause and is not complete.

A sentence can have a main clause and a subordinate clause to form a complex sentence. A main clause can combine with another main clause to form compound sentences. A compound sentence can combine with another subordinate clause to form a compound-complex sentence.

Types of Clauses

1. INDEPENDENT CLAUSE

An independent or main clause has a subject, a verb and can stand alone as a sentence.

Example: Canada is a very large country.

2. SUBORDINATE CLAUSES

A subordinate clause depends on the main clause that it often modifies. A subordinate clause has a subordinator that usually introduces the clause such as subordinating conjunctions (as, since, because) or relative pronouns (who, which, that). They are sometimes called dependent clauses because they "depend" on a main clause to give them meaning. A subordinate clause does not express a complete thought, so it does not stand alone, however they normally act as single part of speech. Subordinate clauses can be identified as adjective clauses, adverbial, relative clauses, participle clauses, to-infinitive clauses, and nominal clauses.

Examples: Fred knew that I wanted a new ball.

3. ADVERBIAL CLAUSES

An adverb is a word belonging to a class of words which modify any constituent class of words other than nouns, such as verbs, adjectives, adverbs, phrases, clauses, or sentences. An adverbial clause is a clause that has an adverb-like function in modifying another clause similar to the way adverbs modify verbs. Adverbial clauses can modify an entire independent clause or another subordinate clause to which they might be attached. Adverbial clauses describe time of the event, place of the event, manner of the event, cause of the event or condition for the event. Most adverb clauses can be recognized because they are introduced by subordinating conjunctions: after, before, until, while, because, since, as, so that, in order that, if, unless, whether, though, although, even though and where.

Examples:
I haven't been skating since we all went up to Banff last winter.
He stood there as if he was frozen to the very spot.
Fred jogs where there is no traffic because he likes it.

4. RELATIVE CLAUSES

A relative clause is a subordinate clause that modifies nouns and sometimes indefinite pronouns. The antecedent of the relative clause can be the subject of the main clause, or its object. Relative clauses are adjectival and they occur after the modified noun. Relative clauses give essential information to define or identify the person or thing we are talking about. Relative clauses are introduced by relative pronouns “that, who, which, whom and whose” or relative adverbs "when, where, why".

Examples:
I saw the player [who hit you].
I saw the player [that hit you].
I like the park [where I jog].
I would like to know the reason [why you didn't eat the vegetables].

There are two different types of relative clause a "defining" or identifying clause, which tells us which person or thing we are talking about and a "non-defining" or non-essential clause, which gives us more information about the person or thing we are talking about.

5. NOUN CLAUSES

Nominal clauses function as nouns and may be replaced with a pronoun. Like a noun, a nominal clause names a person, place, thing, or idea. A nominal clause may function in a sentence as a subject, subjective complement, appositive, object of preposition, direct object or indirect object. Nominal clauses are subordinated by one of the following subordinating conjunctions: how, that, what, when, where, whether, which, who and why.

Examples:
[How you did it] is not my concern. (That is not my concern)

[That I wanted a ball] was irrelevant in the discussion. (It was irrelevant)

An interrogative beginning a nominal clause, has a function within the nominal clause. Nominal clauses may begin with interrogatives: who, whom, what, which, whoever, whomever, whatever, when, where, how and why.

Example: Why you did that is a mystery to us.

How to Write English Sentences using Nouns

2008-04-18T15:48:00.002-04:00

A noun is a part of speech used to name a person, animal, place, thing, or abstract concept.

A noun is a member of a syntactic class that includes words which refer to people, places, things, ideas, or concepts. Nouns may act as any of the following: subjects of the verb, direct or indirect objects of the verb.

In general the following are the types of nouns.

Proper nouns are capitalised and include: name of a specific person, place, or thing, days of the week, months of the year, historical documents, institutions, organisations, religions, holy texts and religious followers.

A common noun refers in general to a person, place, or thing.

A concrete noun names everything that you can perceive through the physical senses of touch, sight, taste, hearing, or smell.

An abstract noun names anything that you can not perceive through your five physical senses. Abstract nouns name or refer to non-concrete entities, ideas or concepts. Abstract nouns: love, optimism, truth, freedom, belief and hope.

A countable noun or count noun names anything or anyone that you can count and is a noun with both a singular and a plural form.

A non-countable noun or mass noun refers to something that you could or would not usually count. A non-count noun refers to an indivisible whole. They only have singular forms.

A collective noun names a group of things, animals or persons. It takes a singular verb when you want to refer to a collective noun as one whole unit and it takes a plural verb when you want to refer to the members which make up the collective.

A possessive noun indicates ownership or possession.

How to Write an English Sentence with Nouns Examples

A noun can function in a sentence as a subject, a direct object, an indirect object, a subject complement, an object complement, an appositive, an adjective or an adverb.

Example
The teacher gave the man a present.
(noun is subject, direct object, and indirect object)

A subject complement is a complement that is used to complete a description of the subject or subject of a clause. A subject complement follows a linking verb; it is normally an adjective or a noun that renames or defines the subject in some way.

Example
The teacher is pleased.

An appositive is a noun or pronoun usually with modifiers that is set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it.

Example:
My son, the teacher, will be visiting us.
(noun is subject, appositive)

An object complement is an noun, pronoun, or adjective which follows a direct object and renames it or tells what the direct object has become. It is most often used with verbs of creating or nominating such as make, name, elect, paint or call.

Example:
We started to call our teacher, coach.
(pronoun is subject, noun is object and object complement)

The process of writing an English sentence is much easier when the writer starts with a basic thought and systematically experiments with all of the sentence types and English parts of speech, phrases, clauses and verb tenses to see how to accurately express the complete thought.

English Phrases are a word or group of words used as a single value

2008-04-16T14:49:00.002-04:00

English Phrases are a word or group of words used as a single value

An English word or group of words used as a single value (without either a subject or predicate) are called phrases. English phrases tend to be larger than individual words and are usually considered as expansions of an individual word. English phrases are smaller than clauses or sentences as they do not have subjects and predicates or subjects and verbs.

Phrase classifications are generally based on the headword, phrase function or phrase construction. We refer to the central element in an English phrase as the head of the phrase. If the head is a noun then the phrase is usually called a noun phrase.

There is some overlap when describing phrases based on either the phrase headword or phrase function. The phrase headword can usually stand alone as a one-word phrase. The headword is the only English word that cannot be omitted from a phrase.

There is some debate classifying phrases. In general these are the phrase types: Noun Phrase, Verb Phrase, Adjective Phrase, Adverb Phrase, Prepositional Phrase, Gerundive Phrase, Participial Phrase, Absolute Phrase, Infinitive Phrase and appositives.

Noun phrases perform the work of a noun in the sentence as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, complements or objects of prepositions.

The widest definition for verb phrases states their function as predicates of sentences. A narrower definition of 'verb phrase' is the verbal elements: a main verb as the head, auxiliaries, infinitive markers and other verbal particles.

Adjectival phrases are composed of the adjectives and the elements that modify the adjectives. Adjectival phrases can occur inside noun phrases perform as modifiers to a noun phrase or act as complements.

Adverbial phrases of one or more adverbs can modify a verb, adjective, verb phrase, an adjectival phrase or an entire clause.

Prepositional phrases are used either adjectivally to modify nouns or noun phrases that can act as the object or adverbially to modify verbs, adjectives, or clauses.

Gerundive phrases can perform most of the functions of a gerund or verbal noun as subjects, objects, objects of a preposition, or even as adjectives.

Participial phrases always function as adjectives and contains the participle and the object of the participle and any words modified by or related to the participle.

Absolute phrases modify an entire sentence and usually consist of a subject noun phrase, a participial and any modifiers.

The infinitive phrase can perform three functions as a noun, adjective or adverb.

An appositive phrase renames, means the same thing as or further explains another noun or pronoun and are usually placed beside what they rename.

English words are classified into Eight Parts of Speech

2008-04-09T10:56:00.002-04:00

English words are classified into Eight Parts of Speech

All English words are classified. The term we use to name these classifications is "Parts of Speech". All English words are classified into eight parts of speech: the verb, the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection.

The parts of speech are the building blocks of the English language.

Each English part of speech explains what the word is, how the word is used and the function the word performs. The same English word can perform as a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next sentence.

The verb is perhaps the most important part of the sentence. A verb or compound verb states something about the subject of the sentence. The verb depicts actions, events, or states of being.

A noun is a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing, or abstract concepts. A noun can function in a sentence as a subject, a direct object, an indirect object, a subject complement, an object complement, an appositive, an adjective or an adverb.

Pronouns as a part of speech can replace a noun, another pronoun, noun phrases and perform most of the functions of a noun.

An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words. Many consider articles: "the, a, an" to be adjectives.

An adverb can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase, or a complete clause by indicating manner, time, place, cause, or degree.

A preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence.

Conjunctions link words, phrases, and clauses.

An interjection is a part of speech used to show or express emotion or illustrate an exclamation.

English grammar rules are the blueprint for constructing English phrases, clauses and sentences.

An abbreviation is a shortened form of an English word

2008-04-03T13:57:00.002-04:00

An abbreviation is a shortened form of a word or expression. Abbreviation is a word created from the Latin word brevis for "short". Usually an abbreviation consists of a letter or group of letters taken from the word or phrase.

As an example, the word "abbreviation" can itself be represented by the abbreviation "abbr"

For the sake of convenience, many British publications have completely done away with the use of periods in all abbreviations.

Publications based in the U.S. tend to follow three different style guides. Some two-word abbreviations, like "United Nations" U.N., are abbreviated with uppercase letters and periods, and others, like "personal computer" PC, and "compact disc" CD, are not.

In general if the original word was capitalized, then the first letter of its abbreviation should retain the capital, for example Ont. for Ontario. When abbreviating words spelled with lower case letters usually there is no need for capitalization.

Example abbreviations of grammatical terms:

a. = adjective;

adv. = adverb;

imp. = imperfect;

n. = noun;

pass. = passive;

p.p. = past participle;

p.pr. = present participle;

pref. = prefix;

prep. = preposition;

pres. = present;

subj. = subjunctive;

v.i. = intransitive verb;

v.t. = transitive verb.

English Grammar Glossary

2008-04-03T13:27:00.002-04:00

Glossary is an English term.

A glossary is a list of words or phrases used in a particular field with their definitions. Glossaries are often found in texts, journals and academic books as an appendix to the text.

An English grammar glossary is a list of English language linguistic and grammatical terms, grammar definitions, explanations, context examples and cross-references to other relevant English grammar terms.

An English dictionary is an alphabetical list of English words giving their definitions, examples and grammatical classification and usually includes phonetic symbols indicating the pronunciation. An English dictionary can also be organized with an alphabetical list with definitions of the key words from a profession or industry like a dictionary of medicine or computing.

An English thesaurus is an English reference book that organizes English words by categories and concepts, so synonyms, near-synonyms and the opposites antonyms will be grouped together.
