Amazing English...

BODY PARTS AS VERBS.... Many parts of the body can be used as verbs in either a physical or a metaphorical sense. You can *head* a company, but if things go wrong you'll have to *shoulder* the blame, or *face* your investors. A good leader *backs* his employees, but if you don't *toe* the line you might get *skinned*.  Did you *muscle* your way into that job? You might *eye* someone suspiciously, or wait for the police to *finger* a suspect. But if you need to get out of town, try *thumbing* a ride. You can ride with me if you can *stomach* the thought.  I don't always sing along with  the radio, but you might see me *mouthing* the words. *Amazing English* 1. When you say *"a, e, i, o, u"* your *mouth* gets *smaller* with each vowel you say ! 😊😊. 2. You *don't really wash your hands;*... they *wash each other while you stand there and watch..... 3.

Selecting words and punctuations...

#7_Rules_of_Grammar These 7 rules of grammar will help you become a champ at selecting words and punctuation. #Key_Rules 1. Use Active Voice Every human language starts an active sentence with the subject, or the "doer." In English, the verb (what's being done) follows the subject. If there is an object (the receiver of the action), it comes after the verb. The formula looks like this: S+V+O. This rule is the foundation of the English language. Here are some examples: Mary walked the dog. The dog liked Mary. I did not like the dog. 2. Link Ideas with a Conjunction Sometimes you want to link two ideas with a second S+V+O combination. When you do, you need a coordinating conjunction. The new formula looks like this: S+V+O, COORDINATING CONJUNCTION+S+V+O Coordinating conjunctions are easy to remember with an acronymic mnemonic device:FANBOYS For And Nor But Or Yet So 3. Use a Comma to Connect Two Ideas As One FANBOYS are used when connecting two i...

Story Vs Narrative

*Story vs. Narrative* It’s the way you tell it. Narrative is the choice of which events to relate and in what order to relate them – so it is a representation or specific manifestation of the story, rather than the story itself. The easy way to remember the difference between story and narrative is to reshuffle the order of events. A new event order means you have a new narrative of the same story. Narrative turns story into information, or better, into knowledge for the recipient (the audience or reader). Narrative is therefore responsible for how the recipient perceives the story. The difficulty is that story, like truth, is an illusion created by narrative. What does that mean? First, let’s state some basics as we understand them here at Beemgee: a story consists of narrated events; events consist of actions carried out by characters; characters are motivated, they have reasons for the things they do; there is conflict involved; one and the same story may be told in diff...

About collective nouns....

What is a Collective Noun You might not know it, but you encounter collective nouns in everyday speech. Collective nouns are words for single things that are made up of more than one person, animal, place, thing, or idea.
