GRAMMAR MADE EASY IN 23 STEPS!
2008-06-09 20:28:00 GRAMMAR MADE EASY IN 23 STEPS! My several years in the word game have learnt me several rules: 1.Avoid alliteration. Always. 2.Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. 3.Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.) 4.Employ the vernacular. 5.Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc. 6.Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary. 7.It is wrong to ever split an infinitive. 8.Contractions aren't necessary 9.Foreign words and phrases are not apropos. 10.One should never generalize. 11.Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know." 12.Comparisons are as bad as cliches. 13.Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous. 14.Profanity sucks. 15.Be more or less specific. 16.Understatement is always best. 17.Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement. 18.One-word sentences? Eliminate. 19.Analogies in writing are...

Grammar in Visual Language: A Visual Linguist Podcast

If in addition to clinical staff, managers and policy makers really do want to see evidence of person-centred care and carer's views being taken into account; then how fine-grained should the care map be?(Or is it just a tick in box!)News is one thing, but is there an optimum level for care?

Some Differences between Malay and English Grammar
2008-04-18 18:31:00 1 Position of Adjectives In Malay, the adjectives are placed after nouns instead of in front of them as in English. e.g. Rumah besar (Big house) 2 Countable nouns in Malay must be preceded by numerical coefficients (penjodoh bilangan) after counting words (kata bilangan) such as dua (two), kedua-dua (both), beberapa (several), and berpuluh-puluh (tens of) but there are no numerical coefficients in English. e.g. a) Dia membeli dua buah buku. (He bought two books.) b) Kedua-dua biji buah epal ini sudah masak. (Both apples are ripe.) c) Beberapa orang pelajar sedang dimarahi oleh guru mereka. (Several students are being told off by their teacher.) ) Berpuluh-puluh pucuk surat permohonan jawatan sudah ditulisnya. (Tens of application letters for jobs have been written by him.) In the above four sentences the words in bold are penjodoh bilangan which must be used in front of countable nouns which appear in italic. 3 There are no pronoun...

Definitions in Grammar (part 4)
2008-04-06 04:56:00 Conjunctions A conjunction is a word like AND, BUT, OR, SO, WHEN, etc., which connects words, phrases or clauses. Conjuncts A conjunct relates what is said in a sentence to another sentence. As such, it is not part of the structure of the sentence in which it is used. EG: However, things turned out much worse than expected. ('However' relates what is said to contrast it with previous information about the speaker's expectations.) All told, we did very well. ('All told' connects information that has already been given to produce a final conclusion that connects everything. In both examples it is possible to remove the conjunct without making the sentence ungrammatical.) Coordinating Conjunctions Coordinating conjunctions join two items of equal importance. For, and, nor, but, or, yet and so are the coordinating conjunctions in English, forming the mnemonic FANBOYS. They contrast with subordinating conjunctions, like if and whether, that introduce a dependent clause . Th...
