Vanessa BrasileiroI have noticed in the course comments that manypeople have this on mind too...


LearnEnglish British CouncilHi Roy Samya,good question! Itdepends on what you mean by the 'core rules of grammar' really, aswell as 'communication is at stake'. If you mean what is moreimportant, communicating your ideas or using perfect grammar thenthere is no question that communication should come first in mostcases.

course that doesn't not mean you can ignore grammar completely.There are other situations where incorrect grammar could lead toconfusion and miscommunication, and others where the level ofaccuracy and formality would be expected to be high. So my advicewould be in most everyday situations to first concentrate oncommunication and fluency, and to worry about grammatical accuracylater, but to try to be aware of the grammar so you can improve andapply it correctly when that is more important.Neil

Roy Samyawow!i got the answer sir!


Roy Samyathank you!


LearnEnglish British CouncilHi Vanessa Brasileiro, in the contextof the course this is a VERY important point. Apart from the languagefocus sections where we are concentrating on specific areas ofgrammar and vocabulary, our goal is for people to communicate freelyand to build their confidence and fluency. We are not looking formistakes and we are certainly not correcting them - we want people torelax and to join in conversations whatever their level and not to worryabout making mistakes. If someone asks we will help, or if a commentis really not clear we will mention it and say could you try again, but

otherwise, as Roy says, communication is the key. Other learners (andeducators) are more interested in WHAT you have to say than inwhether you say it perfectly or not.Neil


Roy Samyawill our conversation happen in the comment section onlyor video will added?


Vanessa BrasileiroCan we do that on Facebook, using onlinevideos?


LearnEnglish British CouncilHi Roy, do you mean i n Step 1.2?

The educators will record a video there to answer questions, but sadlyyou won't be able to appear! But later in the course we ask you torecord yourself and share the recordings with each other.Neil


Roy Samyaokay! no problems!

Lily Divine QuenchHi. I'd like to translate my poems from Italian to English.And I have a questio n abo ut position of adje ctive. In Italian w e can w rite itbefore or after nouns. The meaning is the same but the atmosphere, thesound, the silence between words can change. I know that in English

adjective must write before noun. Is there a poetic license? And if yes, arethere other poetic licenses about other grammar rules? Thank you


LearnEnglish British CouncilHi Lily Divine Quench, yes there issome poetic licence and word order is one area that poetry often playswith. However, I'd need to see an example of what you want to do togive you more detailed feedback.Neil


Lily Divine QuenchThank you for your reply One example is this Iwrote above. In particular I need to change from white horse to hoursewhite (there is a reason for that in Italian version). For other examples Idon't know now because I need to see all my poems.

Lily Divine QuenchHi Neil. I feel it's better if I can write my poem andwhat I'd like to say with it. So we can understand better each other. Forme "a horse of white" could work if it has the same meaning of white

Corina PasolAnother question: Are people still using " How do you do!" - afterthey introduce themselves to some others? Lately, I haven't heard so much ofit ...

LearnEnglish British CouncilHi Corina, not really! In fact I can

honestly say that I have never once in my life said 'how do you do'! It'snot very common these days and is really only used in very, veryformal situations when introduced for the first time. So in general I'dstick with more friendly, slightly less formal expressions, things like'pleased to meet you' or 'nice to meet you' etc. Here's a good page tofind examples of everyday phrases: http://www.ihbristol.com/useful-english-expressionsNeil

Simon LearnEnglishHi Kiang, reading is the best way to learn newvocabulary. I would avoid trying to learn idioms specifically as they arenot that useful. It's better to read to expand your general vocabulary,and if you find some idioms along the way, that's great! In terms of whatto read, look for texts/books on topics you enjoy!

'Get/be used to' means that you are comfortable with somethingbecause you've often experienced it before, so it's no longer difficult orstrange. For example:When I started my new job it was really hard to get up so early.

Maria TironeHi!! Can you advice me something to better understand howphrasal verbs work? The only solution is memorizing them or there is somekind of trick which can help me? Thank you in advance!!


Karina PozharskayaHi, this question is very interesting for me too)couse this is really unreal to memorizing all of them) thank you!


LearnEnglish British CouncilHi Maria, you should really think ofphrasal verbs in much the same way as you think of other newvocabulary. Try to learn them in context, try to practise using them inyour own speaking and writing and revise them every now and thenuntil you are sure you know them. Here are some useful links to helpyou:1) Fast Phrasals - http://bit.ly/FastPhrasals2) Multi-word verbs - http://bit.ly/1OQC24r3) Phrasal verbs - http://bit.ly/1ivPaza4) Two & three part verbs - http://bit.ly/1L51TFV5) Phrasal verb dictionary - http://bit.ly/15q1neRNeil

Roy SamyaLearnEnglish British CouncilDuring the time of Shakespearethere was Old English, then came Middle English and n ow we have ModernEnglish that's in is use, so my question is that in the due of course of time theEnglish changed, will it again in Future? And if it does so what can be like, liketext language?

Vanessa BrasileiroLanguage is a cultural manifestation, so I believeit is a question of time. In my opinion, what is really interesting is thefact that we still recognize the importance of the past forms oflanguage, trying to understand how they have contributed to ournowadays forms of speaking.


Roy Samyayes!


Roy Samyathat is fascinating!


Vanessa BrasileiroConsidering past written forms, I have as muchdifficulty on reading it as I do when I read text language. Brazilian TVbroadcast tried to use text language in subtitles once, and I simplycoundnt read it, as if it was another language I had not learned yet...!


Roy Samyahave you read Shakespeare or Chaucer?


Vanessa BrasileiroTrying hard to read Shakespeares play "TheTempest" with a Facebook group. Have you followed the BC ExploringEnglish: Shakespeare course? I did it on january and since then Icouldnt stop studying English... It is my third course now and I havealready joined the University of Sheffiels Literature of English CountryHouse course.


Roy Samyayes dear, i have completed that course!


Vanessa BrasileiroYou may ask LearnEnglish British CouncilNeilto inscribe you on the group. We had just started reading the play.


Roy Samyaokay!


LearnEnglish British CouncilHi Roy, English is changing all thetime - it's changed a lot in my lifetime alone in terms of formality, themixing of more and more American and British English, the creation ofwhole new areas of vocabulary such as technology, and the reductionor disappearance of some regional differences. Now with the massivegrowth in internet reach, not to mention the increase in global travelthe rate of change is probably faster than ever, so if you're asking willEnglish in the future be as different from English today asShakespeare is to us, I'd say quite possibly!Neil

Sa ZaYes I have Vanessa Afternoon tea


Vanessa BrasileiroSa Za I was wondering that. I have already takenmy cup of coffee...


Sa ZaGreat Vanessa. Bon appetite


LearnEnglish British CouncilHi Sa Za, stess is very important inEnglish. In fact I'd say it's as important as any other feature ofpronunciation and more important than many. Native speakers can

often follow speech with poor pronunciation of certain sounds easierthan they can speech where the word and sentence stress is notcorrect.

Wens Jons AlonsoHey, I would like to know if there's a rule for theexpression of "looking forward to", is it always followed by the "-ing" form


Simon LearnEnglishHi Wens, you know the rule already! Yes, lookforward to or looking forward to is always followed by an 'ing'


Wens Jons AlonsoThanks a lot! I didn't it was a rule, I was onlyfollowing my heart


Silvania Capuabecause to is a preposition


LearnEnglish British CouncilExactly Silvania! You can easilycheck when 'to' is a preposition in a sentence because you canreplace the gerund with a noun or noun phrase. So for example:I'm looking forward to...seeing you/Christmas/my holidays/the party.Neil


Liane Maria FaccioLearnEnglish British CouncilIn the same way,

would you please say to me if is correct to say "hope hearing from yousoon" or "hope to hear from you soon"?


LearnEnglish British CouncilHi Liane Maria Faccio, it's a differentrule - this one is connected to verbs that are followed by an infinitive or-ing. 'Hope' is always followed by an infinitive so only 'hope to hearfrom you soon'.Neil

Wens Jons AlonsoI've been just once! I went to London inDecember 2007 and i t was pretty cold and it rained for one whole day.I loved the city though, the Big Ben looks shiny even when it's rainy.


Wens Jons AlonsoI wish It would rain more where I live, it's sunnyalmost all year long and I like it better when it rains... maybe I shouldmove to Scotland

Puji Youthania AstutyIs Big Ben located near Sherlock holmes museum ?


Simon LearnEnglishHi Puji, yes it is relatively near Big Ben. If youwalked it would take you about 45 mins - 1 hour, or you can take 'thetube' (the underground train) and that would take about 20 mins. Areyou planning to visit?

Helmy DecoHello Neil, i have such a ba d problem in order to be perfect in

english this problem is getting bored when i study english so how can yourstyle in teaching english make me more interested and hung ry to learn and beperfect


LearnEnglish British CouncilHi Helmy Deco, the solution is easierthan you think! If you're getting bored it means that you're probablystudying the wrong things! Learning English does not have to be aboutlearning grammar rules and doing boring exercises. It should be aboutdoing things that you enjoy in English - listening, watching and readingabout things you're interested in! So my recommendation is start fromthere - first think about what you enjoy and are most interested in, itcould be anything, music, sport, films, video games, politics, science -anything at all! Then just do the things you enjoy and think about thelanguage - learn new vocabulary, check our websites for explanationsof any grammar you don't understand, then practise it etc. etc. If you

enjoy what you are doing and if you are really interested in it you willlearn more than if you force yourself to do things you find boring!Neil

Corina PasolHello! I keep reading and doing exercises about present andpast tenses. Exercises are fine, but when I have to write a text by myself, it is adifferent story. For example: " I started to learn English when I was five. Mygrandma used to take me to a nice lady who had been teaching me Englishsongs. Years later I had started to study English in school." Is it correct?I don't know what to do to be sure about the correct use of tenses.


Simon LearnEnglishHi Corina, the paragraph is partly correct. You

have used the past perfect incorrectly though. We use had + pastparticipe, when there are two past actions, one of which happenedbefore the other. E.g. Years later I had started to study English inschool when I met the lady who used to teach me English songs. It wasnice to meet her again.'


Corina PasolThank you for the answer!

Becky WongHi~I have a question about a sentence as follow:

Father is heavy.

Is this sentence ok?! Is that a complete sentence?! My daughtet's Englishteacher asked them to use "is" to make sentence, and her teacher gave herthis example. Is that ok?!

Unlike Reply 1 June 9 at 2:38am

LearnEnglish British CouncilHi Becky, good question! If Father isbeing used as proper noun, as in Mother/Father/John/Mary etc. thenyes this is possible. It's maybe not the most obvious choice but it'scorrect - X is + adjective (tall, pretty etc.)Neil

Silvania CapuaNowadays we have so informal writing that some studentshave problem in using linkins words and connectives proporly . Would haveany suggestion for learning these ?


Simon LearnEnglishHi Silvania, reading is a good way to seeconnectives being used well in context. It is possible to communicatewell using a few connectives, so unless your students need to usethem, I would avoid spending a lot of time focusing on them. If they doneed to use a lot of connectives, the best thing is to learn them, thenask them to practice using them in writing tasks.


Silvania Capuathanks a lot for your coment, I am organizing here allthe tips your team of educators are sending us here today .
