I tend to forget English much faster than the names of the people i have met yesterday. This is a serious challenge. This blog is my effort to retain things that i learn on daily basis and keep tracking what i have learn on the language so far. Wish me luck!
1 That for essential clause, which for additional info.
2 Many- countable, Much-uncountable
3 Lot of- formal, lots of- informal, Usually we use much and many in its place.
a lot fewer, a lot less, a lot more- informal english
4 Which- option or choice limited (a or b), what- choice unlimited (phone no.)
What with determiners, know about choices
before of which is used- which of your teacher slapped you? Who and what is not used
With questions as pronouns which is used. not what
Which is used for People's identity, which one is your boy?
what is for jobs and functions. what is your husband?
5 Number Agreement
If you are using a noun that cannot be counted or divided, such as "oil," "happiness," and "furniture," it is incorrect to modify that noun with "a," "each," "every," "either," or "neither."
- Instead of: Do you have a knowledge of Greek?
- Consider: Do you have knowledge of Greek?
- Instead of: The toddlers liked to move a furniture.
- Consider: The toddlers liked to move furniture.
that- essential, restrictive
7 Each-Every rule
