Something that seems as easy as an article can cause confusion for English learners.  Often the rules for articles are quite different than those of the learner's native tongue.  So today, I decided to start with the basics.  Believe it or not, these are often the ones that cause the most confusion.

We have three articles in English:  a; an; and the.  How and when do you use them?

Let's start with the indefinite articles.

a/an

The rules:

-use before a singular countable noun

-use an before a word that

Does your English sound choppy when you speak?  Learning to speak English can be a complicated process.  However, even after you learn the grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, you still may find that your English does not flow like that of a native speaker.  

One exercise that my students do to improve their rhythm and their pronunciation in English is to recite tongue twisters. Tongue twisters not only help with pronunciation, but when recited correctly, increase a learner's ability to have c

    I am inclined to believe that everybody knows someone who succeeded in his or her career in one way or another it might be someone who came from the ground up and nowadays is has an important position at the company where you work for or maybe an super champion athlete like Rafael Nadal, Lionel Messi, Michael Jordan, Usain Bolt and son on or even a famous and important scientist such as Einstein or Alan Turing.

All of the these people mentioned here have an important point in common all of th

Womans :)


The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years .

The worst feeling is that When you have all in your life except Allah
The worst feeling is that When you love all but Not your prophet Peace Be Upon Him
The worst feeling is that When you follow all instructions but not just Quran and Sunna
The worst feeling is that When you know Islam is the way to Allah but still busy coping others
The worst feeling is that When you know The way to Janna and still busy going to hell
The worst feeling is that When you know these all and more But still doing th

A wail

I should have been taken the heed so that I would not have been taken for a ride by her who put me on public trial.  I had taken a fancy that she was honest in her love and respect the dignity of her beloved. But the stock taken by me was shattered.  I should have taken off the world and hid somewhere before the matter of her so-called love of her had taken a turn for the worst. But now I have to take the bull by the horns or take it on the chin.  At the moment, I am very dejectedly taking

Word Play : Idioms on "take"

Take the plunge if you take a fancy on something,

 take off and  take stock in your gifts, take heed so you won’t be taken for a ride

if  things take a turn for the worst, take the bull by the horns and take it on the chin

Take heart for soon luck will take a hint and take the edge off your problems

Once in a while take a backseat and take things in stride

 and when the time is ripe...

 take the world by storm... then... take a bow!

 

Meaning:  Take the plunge: to do something decisive

Best

What do we need from a friend?  What kind of person could be your friend? If I can choose my friend, I want a person with good manner, kindhearted and good looking. Cheer up my days and support whatever I do –as long as it’s good off course-. What can I do? I can’t choose my friend, neither me nor my friends choose. They become my friends because they meant to be. There was a saying “show me your friend and I can tell who you are” –to be honest I got this from Mishaikh’s blog-. I’ll show you my

Expectation

Never keep expectation from others

because expectation just teach us to be sorry on others,

we tells them bad by keeping expectation

because we expect from them, when they do not fulfill our expectation,

then we got hurt-ed and  and feel sad...

but think for a while whether we should blame them for not fulfilling our expectation or

we should blame our-self for keeping expectation from them.

Expectation always disappoint us, hurt us and make us to be feel sorry on others..

WALKER'S WRITING CHALLENGE: MYSELF

Before I get started, let me begin by saying how good it is to once again have the time to chat and post with my good friends here. EC has always been a great source of personal inspiration. The chance to watch and experience new learners grow into linguistic proficiency is amazing and something I wish more of my fellow countrymen would take the time to do.

Here's ten things in no particular order that come to mind when thinking of MYSELF. The subject matter may vary from personal philosophy to m

A WISH

A WISH

I have no faith in miracles

but this wish I do nurture

that when death carries me away from the world,

it should grant me this permission, just once

that I may return from the grave

and, knocking at your door, cry out

if you need a consoler

I am here.

And if you do not need one,

I may return again to the other world.
