English idioms, proverbs, and expressions are an
important part of everyday English. They come up all the time in both written
and spoken English. Because idioms don't always make sense literally, you'll
need to familiarize yourself with the meaning and usage of each idiom. That may
seem like a lot of work, but learning idioms is fun, especially when you
compare English idioms to the idioms in your own language.
Learning to use common idioms and expressions will
make your English sound more native, so it's a good idea to master some of
these expressions. The tables below are organized by how common the idioms are
in American English. You can start by learning the very common English idioms,
since these are the ones you'll encounter regularly watching American movies or
TV, or visiting the United States. When you've mastered those, move on to rest.
None of the idioms on this page are unusual or old fashioned, so you can be
confident using any of them with native English speakers from all
English-speaking countries.
The functions of connectors in English
grammar are to combine sentences and to express relationship between ideas. Connectors in English grammar
help in improving writing style by adding maturity and sophistication. It is
important to use connectors in English grammar to impart clarity to
writing, and to make it easy to understand.
Types of Connectors in English Grammar
There are different types of connectors in English
grammar:
1. Co-ordinating conjunctions: combine phrases,
clauses and sentences that have equal grammatical function.
2. Subordinating conjunctions: combine elements with
different grammatical function, usually dependent and independent clauses.
3. Conjunctive adverbs: show logical relationship
between two independent sentences.
4. Prepositions: Indicate relationship between things
mentioned in a sentence.
Examples on Connectors in English Grammar
Examples of sentences in which connectors are used:
1. Excessive use of computers is stressful and can be harmful to your health. (Coordinating conjunction)
2. Just as excessive use of computers is stressful, it can
be harmful to your health. (Subordinating conjunction)
3. Excessive use of
computers is stressful; similarly, it can
be harmful to your health. (Conjunctive
adverb)
4. In addition tobeing stressful, excessive use
of computers can be harmful to your health. (Preposition)
Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in this pattern:
The second item of comparison can be omitted if it is clear from the context (final example below).
EXAMPLES
My house is larger than hers.
This box is smaller than the one I lost.
Your dog runs faster than Jim's dog.
The rock flew higher than the roof.
Jim and Jack are both my friends, but I like Jack better. ("than Jim" is understood)
SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES
Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of a quality (the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest). They are used in sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects.
The group that is being compared with can be omitted if it is clear from the context (final example below).
EXAMPLES
My house is the largest one in our neighborhood.
This is the smallest box I've ever seen.
Your dog ran the fastest of any dog in the race.
We all threw our rocks at the same time. My rock flew the highest. ("of all the rocks" is understood)
FORMING REGULAR COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES
Forming comparatives and superlatives is easy. The form depends on the number of syllables in the original adjective.
ONE SYLLABLE ADJECTIVES
Add -er for the comparative and -est for the superlative. If the adjective has a consonant + single vowel + consonant spelling, the final consonant must be doubled before adding the ending.
Adjective
Comparative
Superlative
tall
taller
tallest
fat
fatter
fattest
big
bigger
biggest
sad
sadder
saddest
TWO SYLLABLES
Adjectives with two syllables can form the comparative either by adding -er or by preceeding the adjective with more. These adjectives form the superlative either by adding -est or by preceeding the adjective with most. In many cases, both forms are used, although one usage will be more common than the other. If you are not sure whether a two-syllable adjective can take a comparative or superlative ending, play it safe and use moreand most instead. For adjectives ending in y, change the y to an i before adding the ending.
Adjective
Comparative
Superlative
happy
happier
happiest
simple
simpler
simplest
busy
busier
busiest
tilted
more tilted
most tilted
tangled
more tangled
most tangled
THREE OR MORE SYLLABLES
Adjectives with three or more syllables form the comparative by putting more in front of the adjective, and the superlative by putting most in front.
Adjective
Comparative
Superlative
important
more important
most important
expensive
more expensive
most expensive
IRREGULAR COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES
These very common adjectives have completely irregular comparative and superlative forms.
