Conclusion

 

This, that, these, those

Title

I look for definitions words in title and all they are need to refer ... Difference in the may distance and first and third is singular and plural for refer without conditions. The second and fourth is for referer that show destance between speaker and anithing. Also is singular and plural.

The 1 + 3 is about depended. The 2 + 4 is about independed if want to write it shortly.

Title description

Description: This is me. If I say that sentence for myself. I make referer for myself ... and I independed with this sentence by that usage.

Header

Story about Anusibuno who is Ghana girl of herself. Looks an simple example ...

• She talk about her school and say: these children. That mean a refer for children that near of her.
• In the next she write about her home and use this is me. Also referer depended with her.
• That is my dream. Looks that to be a photographer is independed of her and it is not her dream ... 
• When she say about photo what she like. She use this, but city Accra on the photo described with those. She write: those are fishing boats. She is independed of them but depended with photo ... 

May be idea to be a photographer is of circumstance when he use it to explore the world.

Question

How to use

1. About count and space
1. Use this or that with a singular nouns.
2. Use these or those with a plural nouns.
3. Usually this or these for things or people which are near.
4. Usually that or those for things or people which are not near. 
2. About time
1. Use this for things which happen now or will soon happen.
2. Use that for things which happen in the past or have just finished.
3. Use that to say more about something that someone just said.
1. I want to be a photographer. That is my dream. Wrong. 
2. A: She want to be a photographer. B: Really? I din't know that. Right.
4. This or these, that or those in their meaning like depended or independed.

Tip #1 

When we talk about phone usually use this is to say about who is speaking.

Tip #2

The short form of this is = this's. Other don't have the short form.

Conclusion

• This or these to refer for depended people or things. Sounds soft.
• That or those to refer for independed people or things. Sounds hard. 

Articles 2

Title

I have equal title with one word and one numetic like the next. And it is misterious.

Title description

Title say: Play music and watch the bird. It may to make a mood to do two ... at the moment in the misterious surround.

Header

 

I have an opinion from the internet about the guitars. Anybody like one of them and many examples of articles is here in the unformal situation. 

 

People going like line and I can compare this with the sound wave ... This looks smooth line. Guitar between may for connect the text and this simbolic image of sound ... 

 

Those people are different how a letters but line is smooth ... Yes when I speak or listen sound is common.

 

They are on the withered grass and blue sky is above ... Nice background. I like this. That may helpful to understand how to make the place if I like to be speaker ... Nice place is better for it.

Question

 

Play the guitar on the right background is good for all. I like music too, it is not only guitar ... It is exhaustively to understand about music. But while I writre this the conclusion in the end of this post complited but articles looks is not easy again ... 

 

I may say articles like a people on the picture to make speak smooth ... I don't know how they are looking but I know that it is only three possible vision ... Articles can help to make speech are smooth and don't forget about background like a small tool that is easy to remmeber and use.

 

But I think need to use alternative measure that is right for sounds to understand where is better place for them and music or speech listening skill is needed.

How to use the

1. Before the noun that we all know: the desert, the sea: all examples like to have proper name.
2. About one unique thing: moon, world, Earth, ... : have a proper name.
3. With streets and hotels: have a proper name too.
4. Before superlatives: smalest, most, interesting ...  It is unnamed measure and also like to be proper name. May interesting is popular journal rate. Like a Forbs where people on the different places and possible to replace it, that is only one example of many.
5. With the uncountable nouns that may be countable. All coffee is not right definition ... 

And also about things like an empty place, example: There is a concert tonight. It is about concert without content today with article a and like the privious lesson where I take it from the content and story of the Romeo and Juliet.

Tip #1 

 

If talk about one exmaple of the specific things like about the may a model or tech how is it working: radio like tech, guitar like instrument, ... 

 

When I have a document in patent meaning or similar I can set the proper name for it. But if not I can use the before.

 

Conclusion

• Use articles to make right sounds line;
• Use proper name wihtout article to exclude the if sound wrong or other description to exclude noun with a or an or change sentence in other way;

Articles 1

Title

 

One word and one numeric in the title. I can't find the definition for this word into the dictionary of Campbridge in grammar means. Definition is work done in a law office while training to be a lawyer, looks like for the result of. Numeris say that it is not one and I can tak of the title only that it will be unclear ...

 

Title description

This is question: Do you know the answer? Look like the logic trap ... I can't do the answer that needs. I mean that will be effective for me. Answer that will take result. A can only thinking about this question. 

 

But I know that I read the book for learn English language and this is work of art to take knowledge include different artifical methods. I can be with opinion that is to make the Title more misterious.

Header

If I read this description of situation without knowledge who is Romeo and Juliet. I can't say nothing about. But I know that it was poison. Hm ... 

It is about the situation out of work of art like "Romeo and Juliet" and looks like description of the dead without obvious cause. I know that it is book for learn English language, again.

What do authors mean? I think that it may be tip that I can't understand something without full context and out of this.

Question

Question ask me about any puzzle that I can't see, but while I read the answer for this I understand that story about Romeo and Juliet is the puzzle. It complitely proof for me that I on the right way with my reasoning.

 

Why do I have so misterious picture with many tips about any full context needed when I read this header? I know somthing about articles from the old book "An English Grammar" 1895 year:

 

An or a came from the old numeral ān, meaning one. 

 

I seriously had problem with articles before I found this old book and didn't understand what is this and how it was coming into the grammar ...  Also the is that.

The article the comes from an old demonstrative adjective (sē, sēo, ðat, later thē, thēo, that) which was also an article in Old English. In Middle English the became an article, and that remained a demonstrative adjective.

 

Demonstrative adjective is the lesson later ... 

How to use ... 

1. Articles go before nouns. Somtimes no.
2. No articles for people or place names with exceptions.
3. No articles if talk about things in general.
4. Use a or an with singular and countable noun. Hmm ... but I know that they are is not important from the previous lesson.
5. Use a or an to talk about which job somebody has.
6. Use a before consonant and an before vowel.
7. Use the before singular and plural and countable and uncountable nouns.
8. Use the when it is about specific anithing without proper name.
1. The Bank of England before Brexit;
2. Bank of England after Brexit;

Tip #1

Looks beautiful because say that I can use an before world that begin vovel sound and consonant letter: an hour for example. It say me that pronunciation here is more important than recording.

Tip #2

I have an idea. I have the idea.

First is about undefined idea. Second if this idea have any definition or content that like to be definition.

The name of the tip is: Note the difference. 

Conclusion

• Use the if proper name is possible or may possible or not but personalisation without proper name needed;
• An when first sound is wovel or a when first sound is consonant; 
• I have an idea. Looks like to make a free place to fill it or not;

Plural nouns

Header 

This title include only plural forms and nothing about the singular. Authors hide this for the readers. May they mean it is not important for real practice.

When I have only one apple it like to be a relic for myself. Important all that is possible to be into the plural form ... 

Header description

He ate 47 sandwiches in ten minutes.

Looks like understandable but is not accurate. I won't excpect many of this when I listen and can be how I like when I use this.

Amazing people

People who like to be unusual. Milai Ismail had 342 daughters and 525 sons that like to be more accurate than other: color, sandwiches, books, marathons. But I can't understand how to be father for them ... 

Question

• 115 marathons
• 90 languages
• 47 sandwiches
• 525 sons

No color here, but other is like to be ordinary. Hmm ... It is define how to use plular nouns ordinary. It like to be is not accurate but it needs any object ... 

How to write plural and singular nouns

1. Visible division on the two groups:
1. usually add -s in the end;
2. to make it sounds good:
1. exceptions -s, -ch, -sh, -x  add -es in the end;
2. exceptions -f(e) replace to the -ves;
3. to make it looks good on the paper:
1. exception consosnat + -y, replace -y to -ie and add -s in the end; 
2. exceptions vowel + -y add -s in the end;
4. exceptions -o add -s or sometimes -es in the end;
2.  Special prulars for any words, new words in fact:
1. child => children;
2. fish => fish;
3. foot => feet;
4. man => men;
5. mouse => mice;
6. person => people;
7. sheep => sheep;
8. tooth => teeth;
9. woman => women;
3. Some nouns have only plural form:
1. pyjamas, trousers, scissors, glasses, jeans [my historical order];
2. Authors says about method to use a pair of to make it singular;
3. I can't understand that in common of some especial nouns or can use them only in general because all of them are temporary. But this group of temporary things is especially in focus and jeans was coming recently of may suitable needs and isn't accurate to made them right for grammar; 
4. Look like two items more for the first list of terms:
1. police, staff; Looks singular but we use them like plural;
2. team, family; Can be in singular and plural without changes;
5. Some nouns include many people:
1. team, company, family ... 
2. but may be in plular when many teams play for World Cup of fotball ... 

Tip

 

Tip say if talk about things in general like to use plural noun and no article.

Conclusion

• It is not to be accurate but easy to use:
• Make it looks and sounds good when noun is ordinary [1];
• Some nous named special like modified and stand out [2];
• Some don't have obvious state in grammar means of emergence [3];
• Some nouns in plural become to take a new name [4,5];

 

Countable and uncountable nouns

I have countable and uncoutable noun. Only one condition must be to define noun as countable: I can count it.

I use articles a or an before countable nouns. Else other words before uncountable nouns. Countable nouns have singular and plural forms.

At sometimes uncountable nouns may be countable in context or in different means.

 

Mutations

Rock noun as the matherial is uncoutable, but a rock is piece of rock is countable noun.

Water is liquid, it's uncountable noun, but a glass of water is countable noun.

Any thing may be modified to make this countable.

 

Exceptions

These nouns is uncountable in English: advice, accommodation, fruit, furniture, homework, information, knowledge, luggage, money, music, news, pasta, traffic, transport.

 

Examples for practice

• I got advice from my friend.
• I don't have so many money.
• I'm reading news.
• I like pasta!
• Traffic on the road is so terrible.
• City transport can be helpful for the tourists.
• I like different music!
  

Conclusion

• I can use noun as countable only if I can count it now without additional actions. Else other is uncountable for me.
• Also, If I listen that anybody use noun as countable I know that he or she can cout this.

State verbs

Hmm ... When I'm reading this unit fast I understand that in English anything isn't activity in opinion. Yes, if I think I don't don anything usually.

Verbs of the senses allow using with can, that is good for the abilities. I can't understand how to hear as state without action. 

I must spend an energy for this action, it isn't state. But it's define only that we use them in simple form not the continuous, usually.

Means

But what did they mean when wrote that it's a state? Feel, own, know isn't state. It's a process while I do anything. One that may define general similarity is no obvious of their presentation for people.

When I'm thinking, nobody don't know about this. They can say that I do nothing or that it's state without actions, because they don't see anything.

 

Activity

If I append -ing end for the state verb. I can take new means that include activity and more for state verbs.

 

How to

• I must define tense for my sentence first: with -ing ends or other without it.
• I look for the verb type for say it accurate.
• I can imagine how it's going on for better result on my practice with new verbs or of the new circumstances.
