English Articles

First the good news:There are only three articles in English: a, an and the.

There are two types of articles indefinite 'a' and 'an' or definite 'the'. You also need to know when not to use an article.

The bad news is that their proper use is complex, especially when you get into the advanced use of English. Quite often you have to work it out by what sounds right, which can be frustrating for a learner.

A and an are the indefinite articles. They refer to something not specifically known to the person you are communicating with.
A and an are used before nouns that introduce something or someone you have not mentioned before:-

For example:

"I saw an elephant this morning." "I ate a banana for lunch."

A and an are also used when talking about your professsion : 
For example : " I am an English tecaher "
                           : " I am a builder "


        You use a when the noun you are referring to begins with a consonant (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y or z), for example, "a city", "a factory", and "a hotel".


You use an when the noun you are referring to begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u)


Pronunciation changes this rule. It's the sound that matters, not the spelling. 

-> If the next word begins with a consonant sound when we say it, for example, "university" then we use a. If the next word begins with a vowel sound when we say it, for example "hour" then we use an.


-> We say "university" with a "y" sound at the beginning as though it were spelt "youniversity".
So, "a university" IS correct.


->We say "hour" with a silent h as though it were spelt "our".
So, "an hour" IS correct.


(Lots of people get this wrong - including native speakers.)

DO LOVE ENGLISH :)

JUST FOR YOU


The struggles of life are written on this heart of mine
Scars, unknowingly healed by the comfort offriends
Wounds, all so wittingly re-opened by snakelike words

The art of my soul ever molding this heart of mine
Songs, my spirit sings out to future lovers
Dance, twirl across the floor to the inner beat

The omniscient God has healed this heart of mine
Words, speaking to me from the page guide me
Lessons, shaping who I will become

Write your words on this heart of mine
Listen to the song it sings
Guide this heart of mine forward
And teach it the meaning of love

ONLY YOU 

A person can make you feel high,
A person can make you feel low.
But only you can decide,
Which way you want to go.

A person can hurt you mentally,
A person can hurt you physically.
But only you can place,
A limit on your abilities.

A person can cause drama,
A person can cause a situation.
But only you can create,
Your own reputation.

A person can make you laugh,
A person can make you cry.
But only you can make,
Decisions for your life.

I guess what I'm trying to say,
That when you're living day to day.
Don't live by what people do,
But live by what you know is true.

Do you know ?

Adjectives

The list of adjectives is something of wonder. Behold the modest adjective. It can leap tall buildings in a single bound. It makes the average citizen smarter and kinder. It keeps you in the cleanest car on the block. Such potent words should be used wisely. Read on and learn how to use your adjective powers for good.
An adjective's job is to modify a noun or pronoun. They are always near the noun or pronoun they are describing. Be careful how you use adjectives such as interesting, beautiful, great, wonderful, or exciting. Many adjectives like these are overused and add little definition to a sentence. Instead, show your reader or listener what you are talking about by using verbs and nouns creatively. Sprinkle fewer well-chosen adjectives for interest.
Adjectives are often used to describe the degree of modification.
The adjective forms are positive, comparative, and superlative.
This tree is tall. (positive)
That tree is taller. (comparative)
The last tree in the row is the tallest. (superlative)
A handful of adjectives have irregular forms of positive, comparative, and superlative usage.
These include good/better/best, bad/worse/worst, little/less/least, much-many-some/more/most, far/further/furthest.
My lunch was good, hers was better, and yours was the best.
Proper adjectives are derived from proper nouns. They commonly describe something in terms of nationality, religious affiliation, or culture.The following lists are just a sampling of adjectives in the English language.

They are categorized by the type of attribute they describe. Use your dictionary or thesaurus to add to each list or use the complete list below this one.

Penggunaan "GRAMMAR"

Memandangkan saya mengajar bahasa inggeris tahun 3,saya dapati murid-murid saya agak lemah dalam penggunaan grammar..Mereka keliru dengan penggunaan beberapa grammar seperti tenses,singular,plural dan lain lain lagi.
Pemahaman mengenai grammar ini amat penting kerana ia dapat membantu murid-murid membina ayat yang betul peggunaan tatabahasa atau grammar.Di dalam blog saya ini,insyallah saya ingin berkongsi dan bertukar-tukar pengalaman dan pendapat bagi memantapkan lagi P&P saya.

Kepentingan Bahasa Inggeris

Assalamualaikum,Seperti yang sedia maklum bahasa inggeris merupakan bahasa kedua  penting selepas bahasa melayu.Ada juga yang menyatakan bahasa inggeris adalah bahasa penjajah.Namun   begitu,ia tetap menjadi bahasa kedua  penting selepas bahasa melayu.Di peringkat sekolah ia merupakan subjek kritikal yang perlu ditangani bersama terutama kepada guru-guru yang diamanahkan untuk mengajar subjek tersebut.

English

Word History: English is derived from England, one would think. But in fact the language name is found long before the country name. The latter first appears as Englaland around the year 1000, and means "the land of the Engle," that is, the Angles. The Angles, Saxons, and Jutes were the three Germanic tribes who emigrated from what is now Denmark and northern Germany and settled in England beginning about the fourth century a.d. Early on, the Angles enjoyed a rise to power that must have made them seem more important than the other two tribes, for all three tribes are indiscriminately referred to in early documents as Angles. The speech of the three tribes was conflated in the same way: they all spoke what would have been called *Anglisc, or "Anglish," as it were. By the earliest recorded Old English, this had changed to Englisc. In Middle English, the first vowel had already changed further to the familiar () of today, as reflected in the occasional spellings Ingland and Inglish. Thus the record shows that the Germanic residents of what Shakespeare called "this sceptered isle" knew that they were speaking English long before they were aware that they were living in England.
