Word-building or Word-formation

Basically, we could start off by studying some basic word-formation suffixes and prefixes, which will help you to guess the meaning and grammar of English words.

So, here's your WORD-FORMATION theory and practice to do your best at school. Remember that there are not magical RULES for word-formation, and it's only a question of practice and loads of English exposure.

Let's put it this way...it's time for more words... - no matter your level of English.

Learning a language is like building a house. We need plenty of bricks to be able construct a venue with well-laid foundations and suitable enough for our living expectations: good sights, full of light, and comfortable for our family. By the same token, to produce a fluent speech, it’s necessary to manage a whole array of words, which must be assimilated, practised and used regularly, rather than only translated into the target language. Word-building takes time and what’s even more important: suffixes and prefixes must be recognized; otherwise you won’t make the most of your word-building. For further word-formation practice, you’d better click on words, words, words.

Halloween

Halloween is coming and I wonder if you usually celebrate such a famous festivity in your town.

Making a mountain out of a molehill

Please,  do not panic... we are not going up any mountain today. Don't worry about it. This is just another idiom in English, which is used for exaggerating the importance of something.  As learning English is like climbing up a mountain, we'll see how to add some meaning for our speech and writing, whenever we need to overstate, inflate or simply clarify what we're talking about. But before we do that, why don't we watch The IT Crowd?

Adverbs

When you are writing or speaking in English, you often need to express frequency and the way you usually do things. So, basically we've got several ways to say that in English. We can add -ly to adjectives, in order to get adverbs like: general -- generally, or quick -- quickly. On the other hand, we could use a whole sentence like: I usually celebrate my birthday (by) making a cake. The sentence in red, therefore, answers the question: 'How do you celebrate your birthday?'. So, there are various ways of expressing how we do things in English. For more information, please feel free to watch the following presentation on adverbs, or you can even ask any questions about them, leaving a comment for this post.

Keeping up with the news

As learners of the English language, we tend to have a look at foreign newspapers to keep up with the news and improve the language at the same time. However, here's something different. Why don't we read about ourselves in English? In Malaga there's a weekly paper for you read from the South of Spain.
