SOMETIMES, IDIOMS AND PHRASES IN ENGLISH HAVE NO RULES OR LOGIC. YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN EM !!!

Its been a hectic year for Hollywood Club


Non-native-speakers realize that they have trouble with prepositions and idioms. They go with nouns. adjectives. past participles, and verbs, without rules or logic. Multi-word verbs, or phrasal verbs as they are often referred to, present a very special problem. English can make verb and particle (preposition or adverb) combinations easily and freely). Multi-word verbs exist throughout the language. They express everyday actions such as Turn on the light: they can also have a variety of meanings such as Things worked out well. We worked out the problem. She worked out in the gym, I've never been able to work him out. and The nd price works out at $10 dollars.

What are Prepositions?


Prepositions are abstract words that have no concrete meaning. They merely show the relationships between groups of words. A good way to test if a word is a preposition is to position it in front of phrases like "the box" or "the sides of the box" and see if the phrase makes sense. For prepositions concerning time, try positioning the preposition in front of a phrase like "the movie." (This rule works for about nine out of ten prepositions). Here are some

examples: across the box under the box around the box near the box on top of the box along the sides of the box

Such a phrase that begins with a preposition is called a prepositional phrase. The noun that comes after a preposition or concludes the prepositional phrase is called the object of a preposition. Here is a list of the most common prepositions. aboard above across after against along among around at before behind below beneath beside(s) between beyond but* by down during except for from in inside (of) into like near of off (of) off

on (top of) out (of)

outside over past** since*** through til to toward(s) under underneath until

up upon with within without

*But can also function as a pure conjunction. **Past can also function as a noun or an adjective. ***Since can also function as a subordinate conjunction

Should I end a sentence with a preposition?


The so-called "rule" about never ending a sentence with a preposition comes from Latin grammar. In Latin, the word order of a sentence didn't matter; subjects and verbs and direct objects could appear in any sequence. However, the placement of prepositions was important. Latin sentences could quickly become confusing if the preposition does not appear immediately before the object of the preposition, so it became a stylistic rule for Latin writers to have objects always and immediately following prepositions. That meant a sentence would never end with a preposition. When English grammarians in the 1500s and 1600s starting writing grammar books, they frequently applied Latin rules to English, even though those rules had never been applicable before. They wanted to make English more like Latin, which had a reputation for being logical and eloquent while English was still trying to gain acceptance as a scholarly language. One grammarian even applied mathematical rules to English, such as the idea of a "double negative" becoming a "positive," which certainly made sense in algebra, in a "(-2) x (-2) = +4" kind of a way, but this idea was completely new-fangled in English. English for centuries had been merrily using double negatives and ending sentences with prepositions before that time without anyone complaining, yet now it is grammatical law! In the daily speech of British folk, the most common dialects still conform to this rule. The British tend to say, "To what place was the package sent?" or "For what purpose is that machine made?" On the other hand, in many U.S. dialects, it is a common Americanism to say, "What place was the package sent to?" or "What is that machine for?" These phrasings sound acceptable (but a little low class) to most Americans, and it is probably permissible to go ahead and end the sentence with a preposition in informal writing. In more formal writing, or when writing for a British audience, it might be wise to go ahead and follow the rule (even if it is artificial). The most important tip is to avoid sentences that sound awkward or confuse the reader. An editor supposedly chastised one writer, variously said to be Mark Twain or Winston Churchill, for ending a sentence with a preposition. The author retorted, "Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put." His retort neatly illustrates the point that slavishly following grammatical rules can be just as devastating to good taste as breaking the rules for the sake of clarity and style. Always make the choice that avoids the awkward sentence.

Oddities of English 1
English is a quirky language. It might not be the quirkiest, but it certainly has its share of oddities. Take spelling for example. One of the strangest things about English is the way things are spelled, which reects the history of each word rather than how it's pronounced. Playwright George Bernard Shaw noun you use all the time that has a very strange pronunciation. We all say 'compact disk', pronouncing the word 'compact' as if it was a noun, can set a poem to music, set sail, or sit in front of your television set while a jelly sets in the fridge. Madness.

as in a powder compact. If you were 'Founder' is not quite as versatile, looking for a compact computer, a but it's still impressive. Founder very small laptop for instance, you'd pronounce it 'compact', with the emphasis on the second syllable. means: - To ll with water and sink - An originator - Someone who casts metal Even crazier is the word 'dust', a verb with two exactly opposite meanings. - You can 'dust' your table top by shaking our all over it - Then dust it again by removing the our with a damp cloth. - 'Sanction' and 'let' also mean their own opposites. Another word that has recently acquired an opposite meaning is 'executive'. - The non-executive director of a company doesn't actually do any work - While an executive producer of a movie or a television program doesn't do any work either Here's another uncomfortable pairing of opposites. When it comes to trees: - First you chop them down - Then you chop them up

was so upset about the illogical Speaking of pronunciation, here's spelling of English words that he left word that's pronounced differently money in his will to pay for the creation of a new alphabet (which came out in the early 1960s, but which never caught on). Shaw complained that you could spell the word 'sh' as 'GHOTI' and still be consistent with the way other English words are spelled, as follows: - The 'F' sound, as in 'tough' - The 'I' sound, as in 'women' - The 'SH' sound, as in 'nation' Other eccentric spellings include: - The only word in the English language with a double 'i', 'skiing'. - The only word with three pairs of double letters in it, 'bookkeeper'. Another crazy little spelling oddity: - There's one English word that changes from plural to singular when you add an 's'. It's 'Princes' which becomes 'Princess'. Oddities of Pronunciation The ip side of spelling is pronunciation. There's a common when you make the rst letter a capital: - 'polish' or 'Polish' Oddities of Meaning The meanings of English words are crazy, too. Many English words have several meanings, none more so than 'set', which means (among other things): - To put something into position (set a table) - To plant (set bulbs out in the ower bed) - To show how determined you are (set your jaw) - To decorate (a brooch set with precious stones) - To bring something into contact with something else (set a match to a haystack) - To make something ready (setting a trap) - To adjust (set your watch) You can set a broken bone, you can set hair after you shampoo it, you

Oddities of English 1I
Putting 'in' in front of a word normally makes it mean the opposite. 'Sane' and 'insane', for instance. - But if something is 'ammable' it's easy to burn - And if it's 'inammable' then it's easy to burn, too - 'Habit' and 'inhabit' are a similar couple. While we're on the subject of the meanings of words, why is it that: - Goods travelling by road are called a 'shipment' - While goods travelling by ship are known as 'cargo'? 'Street' and 'Road' are almost, but not quite, interchangeable: - You have road rage. But not street rage. - You can be streetwise. But not roadwise. afternoon at work. Show them the following sentence, and ask them to give it logical punctuation: Gerald had had had had while arthur had had had had had had had the teacher's approval. Seems impossible, but once you know the trick it's simple: Gerald had had 'had had', while Arthur had had 'had'. 'Had had' had had the teacher's approval.' A Grammatical Oddity English teachers and pedants in general warn against ending a sentence with a preposition (a word that expresses the relationship between nouns, pronouns

- You shop in your local high street. But if you can't nd and noun phrases: 'Fish served with chips and peas'). In fact, this is a rule borrowed from Latin, and can be anything suitable, you take the high road to a bigger town. In the Shaw alphabet, similar consonants are paired together. - When you say P and B, for instance, your mouth makes the same shape - L and R are a similar pair (which is why Japanese and Chinese speakers famously confuse the two sounds) - H and R form another of these pairs; Portuguese speakers confuse them Strangely enough there are a group of hyphenated expressions in English that only ever start with an H, an L or an R: - Harum-scarum - Hoity-toity - La-di-da - Rumpty-tumpty - Roister-doister Weird, eh? A Punctuation Oddity Here's a little punctuation party game you can use to amaze your friends on a long train journey or a quiet safely ignored (except when you're dealing with English teachers and other pendants). Here's a perfectly good sentence that ends with no fewer than ve prepositions: - A father goes up to his son's bedroom, a book under his arm, ready to read him to sleep. The boy notices the book and says: 'Daddy, what did you bring that book that I don't want to be read to out of up for?' Other Oddities Here are a few that don't t in any of the above categories: - The word 'typewriter' can be typed using only the keys on the top line of a qwerty keyboard. - St John's Wood is the only London tube station that doesn't contain one of the letters of the word 'mackerel'. - Ask your friends if they know a ve-letter word that has ve other words inside it. The answer is 'there' (the, he, her, here, ere).

FALSE COGNATES OR FRIENDS IN US & UK ENGLISH


Many linguists have pointed out differences between British and American English, differences at the lexical level are among the most prominent and remarkable ones. Most research on the subject focuses on registering everyday words which are different in British and American English (e.g. U.K. lift vs. U.S. elevator; U.K. at vs. U.S. apartment). However, few people have gone further into these lexical differences between both varieties in order to identify words which exist in both varieties but with different meanings, such as pants or faggots. Rollings (2001) and Nicholls (2006) deal with this topic in their to this fascinating eld of research by analyzing some of the most interesting false friends within the so-considered main standard varieties of English: British and American English. Among those intralingual false friends which may lead to hilarious situations, there are two words referring to articles of clothing (pants, suspenders) and one related to food (buns) which are worth analysing in this section. Pants and suspenders are two nouns that may cause funny situations when used in Britain since these lexical items make reference to two different pieces of underwear in British English. As illustrated in Figure 1, any American asking for pants and suspenders in Britain would receive underpants and straps to hold stockings up. This may produce a quite funny situation as represented in the cartoon on the left in Figure 1. The American meaning of these words is different, pants are trousers, and suspenders are used for holding the trousers up. The picture on the right illustrates the American meaning of these words.

FALSE COGNATES
There are literally thousands of words that are the same or similar in appearance in English and Spanish, and have the same meaning in both languages (cognates). There are also, however, many instances where appearances are deceiving and words that look alike are quite different in meaning (false cognates). The following list includes some of the most common false cognates, also known as false friends: la accin

In addition to meaning action in Spanish, it is also used in business to mean share, stock. Las acciones de la compaa = the companys stock (or shares). actual In Spanish, means present, current, and not actual as we use it in English, which in Spanish is instead real, verdadero. e.g. El presidente actual no ejerce el verdadero poder = The current presidente does not exercise the actual power. Notice how Spanish uses verdadero = true, instead of actual, which instead of meaning real as it does in English, would only have the meaning of present or current in Spanish. e.g. actualmente: at the present time; en realidad, de veras, realmente = actually. asistir In Spanish, means to attend, not to assist, and requires the preposition a before a

noun. e.g. Casi nunca asiste a sus clases = He almost never attends class. To assist, with the meaning in English of to help, is ayudar. el colegio General term for school, or often, high school. Does not mean college, which in Spanish is la universidad. una conferencia This may mean conference as we know it in English, with the meaning of a convention; it has another, often-used meaning inSpanish, which in English would be a lecture by a professor or a public speaker. la decepcin Means disappointment and sometimes a feeling of having been deceived; deception in Spanish, however, is usually translated as engao. una desgracia Means misfortune, not necessarily disgrace. Qu desgracia! = What a misfortune! desgraciadamente: unfortunately. A disgrace = una deshonra. embarazada Does not mean embarrassed, which in Spanish is avergonzado/a, desconcertado/a, or turbado/ a. Est embarazada is one way of saying Shes pregnant in Spanish. el xito Means success. e.g. Su nueva comedia tuvo un gran xito. = His new play was a

great success. Not to be confused with an exit, which in Spanish is salida. fastidioso Annoying, bothersome. Fastidiar is a commonly used verb; e.g. No me fastidies. = Dont bother (annoy) me. Likewise, the noun is (un/el) fastidio. Es un fastidio. = Its a bother (nuisance, inconvenience). It is difficult to find an equivalent for fastidious in Spanish. Several possibilities are melindroso, quisquilloso, exigente, difcil de complacer. una grosera The adjective grosero means rude or course and a grosera is rudeness or coarseness. Not to be confused as a translation of the English word grocery, which is known by a various terms depending on the country/region of the Hispanic world where it is used. Usually una tienda de ultramarinos in Spain, it is una tienda de abarrotes in Mexico; una bodega in Cuba and Venezuela; un almacn in Argentine, Uruguay and Chile; un colmado in Puerto Rico. el idioma In English, translates as language. What we call an idiom in English, on the other hand, is modismo in Spanish; e.g. Hay muchos modismos en cada idioma. = There are many idioms in every language.

FALSE FRIENDS
un indiano This is a special term used to refer to a Spaniard who went to the Spanish colonies in the New World and returned to Europe with great wealth. A (North/South/Central)American Indian is most frequently referred to as un indgena or un indio; a person from the Indian continent is also referred to as un indio. Introducir Means introduce in the sense of to bring up a topic in conversation (= introducir un tema) or to stick in, to put into, to insert, all physical actions. To introduce a person in English is presentar. largo Means long in English. Large is instead grande. una lectura Means reading, in English, not lecture. The word for lecture in Spanish, as mentioned above, is conferencia. la librera = bookstore. Library is instead la biblioteca. molestar May mean to molest but more often is the equivalent of the English to bother, disturb, annoy. e.g. Siento molestarlo = Im sorry to bother you. Another common phrase is No es ninguna molestia = Its no trouble (or bother). oficio = trade, occupation. Office is el despacho or la oficina. el/la pariente This is the general word for a relative. The word in Spanish for parent is padre (father) or madre (mother). parents = los padres pretender = to attempt, to try to. To pretend = fingir. la propaganda Not only propaganda as we use it in English but also advertising, publicity. regular In addition to having the meaning of regular in English, may also mean average, so-so, O.K. In answer to the question Cmo ests?, means soso, O.K. sano Healthy rather than sane, which is cuerdo/a. Note the expression sano y salvo = safe and sound. sensible = sensitive in English. Sensible in English may be sensato, cuerdo, razonable, de buen sentido. e.g. Es una persona muy sensible. = He is a very sensitive person. una sentencia Means a sentence only in the judicial sense. May also mean a saying or proverb. Sentence in the grammatical sense is (una) frase. simptico This is one of the finest compliments that can be given to a person. It is roughly the equivalent of pleasant, charming, congenial. Sympathetic = compasivo, simpatizante. un suceso = event, occurrence, happening. The verb suceder means to happen to, to occur. Remember, as we have mentioned, success = xito. sujeto Means subject only in the grammatical sense. It may also mean, colloquially, fellow, guy, with a derogatory feel. A subject in school is (la) asignatura, (la) materia, (el) curso. When it is the equivalent of topic, subject = (el) tema. When it refers to a citizen of a country, subject is sbdito or ciudadano. tipo Not only type as in category, but also used colloquially, with a derogatory feel, for guy or character. e.g. No me gusta ese tipo. = I dont like that guy. Note the economic/financial term tipo de cambio = exchange rate (of currency). una firma Signature. A business firm is compaa or casa (comercial). un disgusto Means unpleasantness, annoyance as opposed to disgust, which is translated into Spanish as asco. Me da asco = It disgusts me. e.g. Tuve un disgusto con mi cuado. = I had an unpleasant incident with my brother-in-law.

COLLOC ATIONS

BASICALLY YOU HAVE TO LEARN ENGLISH COLLOCATIONS AND INCORPORATE THEM INTO YOUR SPOKEN AND WRITTEN ENGLISH.

Collocations are somewhat similar to English idioms...


Collocations are words that normally go together in written and spoken English. They make your English sound more uent and native-like, and its when you get a collocation wrong when people would say Well, it doesnt sound right, they dont say it like that in English For instance, when you go back to work after a few days illness, youd tell your work colleagues that youre fully recovered. If you use any other word with recovered completely recovered, absolutely recovered or totally recovered it doesnt sound as good as the natural collocation fully recovered. The two words fully and recovered are the ones that naturally go together in English language, so we can say that those words collocate with each other.

verbing of nouns
In the beginning a noun was a noun and a verb was a verb, but that was before the functional shift came along. In linguistics, the terms functional shift, category extension, conversion and zero derivation are all used in reference to the syntactic phenomenon that occurs when a particular word that has long been labeled for its use in one lexical category is suddenly used in a different and nonstandard lexical category. Recently, a particularly popular and much discussed functional shift is the verbing of nouns.

AN N A B E L LE
MAECENAS AC, NULLAM DUIS ELIT, LIGULA EGET PELLENTESQUE VIVERRA MORBI TELLUS MOLESTIE, MI ODIO. SODALES NUNC SUSCIPIT SIT PRETIUM ALIQUET INTEGER, INTERDUM CONSECTETUER PEDE, ET RISUS HAC DIAM AT EGET, COMMODO IN. SCELERISQUE SODALES, MAURIS LOREM NON. FELIS MAECENAS SIT ADIPISCING.

HOW DO THESE VERBED NOUNS KEEP CREEPING INTO THE ENGLISH LEXICON?
Technology and brand names certainly provide fodder for verbing: John xeroxed the article for his class. Lisa likes to microwave her lunch. She facebooked her new boyfriend. And the business world continually evolves nouns: His business experience advantages Jack over his competition. She journaled the conference call. The company implements new procedures weekly. Please inbox the proposal to me. We should re-intention these coffee cans so we dont have to landll them. Throw in an advertising campaign here and there too: This is how we waterpark. (Spotted on a billboard somewhere in the Midwest) So, while it may initially feel unnatural having many of these words exit the mouth as verbs, they may one day be commonly catagoried as such.

PARTS OF THE BODY IDIOMS

QUESTIONS
1. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU LEARN THINGS BY HEART? TELL ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT YOU HAVE LEARNED BY HEART. 2. WHEN SOMEONE PULLS YOUR LEG, IS THE PERSON TELLING THE TRUTH? IS THE PERSON ALWAYS BEING MEAN? 3. HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU HAVE A LONG FACE? IF YOU HAVE A LONG FACE, ARE YOU SHOWING YOUR FEELINGS?

What a Group!
Read the story. Then discuss the questions.
Last year my English class was full of characters. That's a polite way of saying it had some unusual people that I'll never forget. One student was such a hard worker that he learned all the idioms in our book by heart. He was always saying things like "I'm on cloud nine," or "I'm green with envy." We never knew if he meant what he said or if he was just practicing English. Another student had a sweet tooth. She would bake lots of breads and cakes and bring them to every class for us to share during breaks. Two students met in the class and fell head over heels in love. We were all invited to their wedding and had a great time. Then there was a student who was always pulling someone's leg. For example, one day before class, he put a long homework assignment on the board and made us think that the teacher had given it. We all had long faces until the teacher came in. Then we realized that someone had played a joke on us.
