Common Words

A common noun is a word that names people, places, things, or ideas. They are not the names of a single person, place or thing.

A common noun begins with a lowercase letter unless it is at the beginning of a sentence.

For example:-

People:-

man, girl, boy, mother, father, child, person, teacher, student

Animals:-

cat, dog, fish, ant, snake

Things:-

book, table, chair, phone

Places:-

school, city, building, shop

Ideas:-

love, hate, idea, pride

The prepostions at, on,in quize

Prepositions of Place

Prepositions can be used to show where something is located.

The prepositions at, on, and in

  1. We use at to show a specific place or position.
For exemple:   Some is at the room

     2. We use on to show position on a horizontal or vertical surface.

For exemple:: the pencil is on the desk

     3. We also use on to show position on streets, roads, etc

For exemple:  I used to live on Portland Street.

     4.We use in to show that something is enclosed or surrounded.

For exemple: The dog is in the garden.

    5. We also use in to show position within land-areas (towns, counties, states, countries, and continents).

For exemple: I used to live in Nottingham.



Some vs Any

Any and some: are both determiners. They are used to talk about indefinite quantities or numbers, when the exact quantity or number is not important. As a general rule we use some for positive statements, and any for questions and negative statements,

For example:-

I asked the barman if he could get me some sparkling water. I said, "Excuse me, have you got any sparkling water?" Unfortunately they didn't have any.

!Note - You will sometimes see some in questions and any in positive statements. When making an offer, or a request, in order to encourage the person we are speaking to to say "Yes", you can use some in a question:

For example: Would you mind fetching some gummy bears while you're at the shops?

You can also use any in a positive statement if it comes after a word whose meaning is negative or limiting:

For example:
A. She gave me some bad advice.
B. Really? She rarely gives any bad advice.

24/7

Definition:

All the time; always available; without a break.

Example:

1) In New York City, a lot of stores are open 24/7.

2) I had to move because my neighbors played loud dance music 24/7.

Etymology:

Some convenience stores are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The phrase is used for

anything that is always (or nearly always) available.

Synonyms:

around the clock

Compound noun

What is a compound noun?

A compound noun is a noun that is made up of two or more words. Most compound nouns in English are formed by nouns modified by other nouns or adjectives.

For example:

The words tooth and paste are each nouns in their own right, but if you join them together they form a new word - toothpaste.

The word black is an adjective and board is a noun, but if you join them together they form a new word - blackboard.

In both these example the first word modifies or describes the second word, telling us what kind of object or person it is, or what its purpose is. And the second part identifies the object or person in question.

Compound nouns can also be formed using the following combinations of words:-

Noun+Nountoothpaste
Adjective+Nounmonthly ticket
Verb+Nounswimming pool
Preposition+Noununderground
Noun+Verbhaircut
Noun+Prepositionhanger on
Adjective+Verbdry-cleaning
Preposition+Verboutput

The two parts may be written in a number of ways:-

1. Sometimes the two words are joined together.
Example: 
tooth + paste = toothpaste | bed + room = bedroom

2. Sometimes they are joined using a hyphen.
Example: 
check-in

3. Sometimes they appear as two separate words. 
Example: 
full moon

A good dictionary will tell you how you should write each compound noun.

Meet the Jacobson Family!

Hello! My name is Alexander, and I’d like you to meet my family.

First of all, there are my parents, Lisa and Andrew. My mother is a veterinarian. She has medium-length blond hair and blue eyes and she wears glasses. My father is a professional artist who specializes in illustrating children’s books. He’s going bald, but he’s got a dark brown moustache and a little beard. His eyes are brown, too. He’s very good at fixing things.

I have two younger sisters, Karine and Tracie. Karine is almost nine. She’s got long blond braids and blue eyes. She looks like my mother, but she doesn’t have glasses. Karine loves animals, especially Polly, the family dog (a golden retriever) and her green budgie, Peeko. Karine is very good at sports, and she does gymnastics.

I’m the oldest child. I’m three years older than Karine. My birthday is August 29. I have straight black hair and blue eyes. I’m very tall and play basketball on the school team. My jersey number is thirty-four. I like school, especially math and science, and I would like to become an astronaut.

We live in a big brick house at fifty-four, twenty-one Tamara Street.

We are a great family!

The rat race !!!

Fiona: Every day, it's the same old thing.


Joey: What do you mean ?


Fiona: Take the bus, go to work, punch in, punch out. What's the point ?


Joey : Well, you know, make money, do a good job. That sort of thing.


Fiona: Well, I'm just not interested in the rat race.


Joey: What would you rather be doing ?


Fiona: I'd like to be making movies.


Joey: Fiona, you hardly ever watch movies. And when you do, you don't pay attention.


Fiona: Well, if I made a movie, I would pay attention to it !


Explanation :

The rat race - a way of life in modern society, characterized by people competing with each



other for power and money

Example : He decided to get out of the rat race, and went to work on a farm.

That's really wasteful !!!

Nerys: Look at all the waste paper in the waste bin next to the photocopier.

Rolf: There is rather a lot but it's the same with all the photocopier.

Nerys: What do they do with all that waste paper ?

Rolf: As far as I know they just throw it out as trash.

Nerys: That's really wasteful. There's a better way of dealing with it than that.

Rolf: Well we should try to recycle all our waste paper. That would save the company a lot of

money and help the environment.


Explanation :


Wasteful - Action that is wasteful uses too much of something valuable such as time, money, or energy.

Example : This kind of training is ineffective, and wasteful of scarce resources ........

It really gets up my nose !!!

Teddy: It's been a pretty tight game so far, don't you think ?

Martin: Yes, neither side have looked like scoring a goal so far.

Teddy: Except that one time when our striker was almost through but was fouled by the
fullback. The referee didn't see it.

Martin: Yes, it really gets up my nose when something like that happens.

Teddy: Well, let's hope that the ref will be looking right way if that fullback tries playing dirty again.

Martin: And then we'll get a penalty.

Explanation :

If you say that someone or something gets up your nose, you mean that they annoy you.

Example : He's just getting up my nose so much at the moment.

I couldn't help it !!!

Daryl: I am upset. Somebody told my boss I have a part-time job.

Smith: And he doesn't like that ?

Daryl: No, he doesn't. He thinks that I am too tired to work.

Smith: I am sorry. I have to admit I told him.

Daryl: You told him ? Why ?

Smith: I couldn't help it. He asked me point-blank.


Explanation :

If you can't help the way you feel or behave, you cannot control it or stop it from happening. You can also say that you can't help yourself.

If you say something point-blank, you say it very directly or rudely, without explaining or apologizing.

because, as, since or for

Word Explanation and Example

because : The reason is very important in the sentence, so "because"comes in the second clause of the sentence. I read this book because I like it.

as : The reason is already known. As we read, we learn.

since : The reason is already known.(more formal than as) Since we were in the computer lab, our English has improved.

for: The reason is given at the end of the sentence. We went to a small restaurant - for we were hungry.

Why English is important

IF YOU are currently learning English in a school, college or institute of further education, you join approximately one billion other people around the world who are engaged in the same pursuit. However, as you try to memorise proper grammar, and try to avoid the mistakes common to most students of English, you may wonder why you are learning the language in the first place.

So, why is English important?

After Mandarin, English is spoken by more people than any other language, and is the native language of more than 350 million people. More people speak English than those who speak the Arabic and French languages combined.

Moreover, English is the international language of diplomacy, business, science, technology, banking, computing, medicine, aviation, UN & NATO armed forces, engineering, tourism, Hollywood films and arguably the best pop and rock music in the world.
English has plenty of words to choose from. In fact, an English speaker is offered the biggest vocabulary of any language with a choice of 500,000 to 1,000,000 words (including technical and scientific terms).

But don’t panic, most English speakers do very well with a vocabulary of around 20,000 words.

English can be fun too. For instance, the music of such stars as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson and Madonna has encouraged fans to speak the language of their idols, whilst others have enrolled in English classes to improve their understanding of the dialogue in films and TV shows.

Or perhaps they have embraced English to enjoy the writing of Stephen King, George Orwell or J.K. Rowling. They may even have an interest in speaking English just to converse with travellers from other countries, who communicate by using the English global interlingua while travelling abroad.

Finally, if you are studying English at school, college or university, remember that getting an ‘A’ grade in English is almost worthless, in terms of communication, if you cannot speak the language. Spoken English is used in the best careers, the best universities, and is increasingly being used at job interviews. So like it or not, English is a very important language to learn how to speak.
