An English Club learner friend of mine recently asked me a question about the following phrase: Being seriously injured which was used to talk about a dog. She expressed some confusion about our ing and ed forms. I thought that there must be others who are confused about these endings to our verbs and how we use them. So I am creating a blog to try to clear up this issue. It is a long and detailed blog. So read it little by little and try to understand a little bit at a time. If you make it to t

The Things That MatterE. (Edith) NesbitNow that I’ve nearly done my days,And grown too stiff to sweep or sew,I sit and think, till I’m amaze,About what lots of things I know:Things as I’ve found out one by one—And when I’m fast down in the clay,My knowing things and how they’re doneWill all be lost and thrown away.There’s things, I know, as won’t be lost,Things as folks write and talk about:The way to keep your roots from frost,And how to get your ink spots out.What medicine’s good for sores and

The following are the extracts of the pamphlets released by the CPI(M) for the election campaignPRICE RISE, HUNGER AND MALNUTRITIONONE of the most striking failures of the Congress-led government has been the inability to check the persistent rise in prices of food and other essential commodities and ensure food security for our people.

I have a Band-Aid on my finger,One on my knee, and one on my nose,One on my heel, and two on my shoulder,Three on my elbow, and nine on my toes.Two on my wrist, and one on my ankle,One on my chin, and one on my thigh,Four on my belly, and five on my bottom,One on my forehead, and one on my eye.One on my neck, and in case I might need ‘emI have a box full of thirty-five more.But oh! I do think it’s sort of a pityI don’t have a cut or a sore!This poem written by Shel Silverstien.

I know most of the members here are English learners. Some of them may come here from all over the world just for improving their English skills. So, here come my questions: 1. Learners should only read the blogs by native English speakers? Learners want to learn standard English (AmE or BrE). They read and learn, but, if what they read is full of grammar, spelling or expression mistakes, what's the point of reading such blogs? Maybe you don't care who the blogs are by. Maybe you just want to com
