23.01.2022 Hello everybody! Today I have been thinking about cognates in language and how they can help us learn. Cognates are words that have a common origin (source). They may happen in a language or in a group of languages. Example One: 'composite', 'composition' and 'compost' are cognates in the English language, derived from the same root in Latin 'componere' meaning 'to put together'. In Spanish and English, there is a range of cognates.... For example, Clasificar. Clasificar means 'to classify'. The Spanish-language version uses i in place of the English y and tacks -car onto the end. Additionally, the Spanish word clasificar doesn’t use the double s like the English version. Are there cognates between your native language and English? What patterns have you noticed?

09.01.2022 Tip of the day! When do we use there is versus there are? The choice between there is or there are depends on whether the noun is singular or plural. In most sentences, the noun comes before the verb. But in sentences that begin with there is and there are, the noun comes later. ... There is a cat on the porch. In the sentence above, cat is singular, so it requires there is. There are many opportunities to learn at this company. In the sentence above, opportunities is plural, so it requires there are. (Don’t let the word many throw you offconcentrate on the noun.)

09.01.2022 Grammar tip. It's or its? Example mistake: The spider spins it's web. Its a very beautiful web. Tip. Its without an apostrophe, is the possessive version of a pronoun. In the above example, we should use the possessive its to talk about the spider’s web, because the web belongs to the spider. ... it’s, with an apostrophe, is a contraction of it is or it has. When talking about the beauty of the web, we’re saying that it is a very beautiful web. Therefore, we should use the contraction it’s instead of its. Correction: The spider spun its web. It’s a very beautiful web. Contact Kerry for English language lessons tailored to your needs. +613427272859
