English to French, Italian, German & Spanish Dictionary Linguapress: Free online English grammar Grammar, understanding, and communication Languages are a means of interaction between people, known as verbal communication. They are essentially the synthesis of two things: words and grammar. Speaking or writing a language is like driving. In most countries (not all!) Mastering a language is like learning to be a good driver. As children we learn our native language without actually learning many rules. Learning a foreign language is very different, specially if we are doing so at school or in a language class. Understanding grammar means knowing how to use it in new situations, knowing how to express our ideas without having to think "Am I saying / writing this correctly?"

'Welcome to the digital edition of the Bosworth-Toller Anglo-Saxon Dictionary' - Welcome to the digital edition of the Bosworth-Toller Anglo-Saxon Dictionary | Bosworth–Toller Anglo-Saxon Dictionary Grammar Monster: Free English Grammar Lessons and Tests Grimm's law Sound shift in the Germanic languages Grimm's law (also known as the First Germanic Sound Shift) is a set of statements first systematically put forward by Jacob Grimm but first remarked upon by Rasmus Rask describing the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) stop consonants as they developed in Proto-Germanic (the common ancestor of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family) in the 1st millennium BC. It establishes a set of regular correspondences between early Germanic stops, fricatives and the stop consonants of certain other centum Indo-European languages (Grimm used mostly Latin and Greek for illustration). History[edit] Grimm's law was the first discovery of a systematic sound change, and it led to the creation of historical phonology as a separate discipline of historical linguistics. The correspondence between Latin p and Germanic f was first noted by Friedrich von Schlegel in 1806. Overview[edit] This chain shift (in the order 3,2,1) can be abstractly represented as: Examples[edit]
EnglishGrammar.org – Exercise, test, and check your grammar online My Students Help Assess My Teaching By Larry Ferlazzo "Today is an opportunity for you to challenge and push me to become a better teacher, and a time for you to challenge and push yourselves to be better learners." So I began my ninth-grade English class one day before the winter break. My students and I were about to review video clips from a lesson I’d taught a few weeks earlier with Kelly Young, a talented instructional strategies consultant. Our faculty, under Principal Ted Appel, has been working with Kelly for some years. Lately, he’s been videotaping teacher lessons, then meeting with us to review an edited version of the tape. This chance to closely examine my teaching "at a distance" has been one of the most significant professional-development experiences I’ve had. A Transformative Experience Kelly, who directs the Pebble Creek Labs, accepted my invitation to share the video and our critique in the presence of my students. •Leaning In—When we are engaged, we are learning forward, not slouching back.

Adverbs / Adjectives / Linking Verbs The following is a mini-tutorial on the use of adverbs, adjectives, and linking verbs. After you have studied the tutorial, complete the associated exercises. If you are already familiar with these topics, you can skip the explanation and go directly to the exercises. Adverbs [adjective + ly] There are also irregular adverbs such as "well" and "fast." Adverbs can be used to modify verbs. Examples: John walked quickly towards the door. Adverbs can be used to modify adjectives. The redwood tree was impressively tall. Adverbs can be used to modify other adverbs. She spoke extremely confidently. Adjectives There are many different adjective endings including "-ive," "-ous," "-y," "-ful," "-ent" and many others. Adjectives can be used to modify nouns. Jack drives a big car. Adjectives often follow linking verbs (described below). Max is tall. Linking Verbs The linking verbs above are often followed by adjectives instead of adverbs. Mary seemed sad. Sally grew angry.
