MY NEW INPIRATION

WELCOME TO MY BLOG FOR YOUR INFORMATION Hello ... This is the first post on this blog. So we start with an introduction first. This blog is written by a schoolboy trying to use their spare time is quite a lot during the school holidays. I gave the name of this blog (address) shreinfo.blogspot.com because here I want to share about the tasks of the English language that I can tell to you guys might as reference. While en behind listen to my story from the word Indonesia, Indonesia is the place I stay. No real reason was because the word dengarka nceritaku id is already in use, and I already love the same name (address) listen to my story so I deh add the word id. Today is the first day of the month of fasting so post this time also it was counted waited for iftar. Hopefully this blog can I fill with interesting postings in the future and thank anyone who has opened my blog let alone read my writing this time.

THE MEANING OF GENERAL ENGLISH

Image
Hi, What is 'general English'? Does it mean 'spoken English'?  No. I take it to mean 'non-technical, non-specialized' English. And explain in detail what informal English and formal English are.  Let me offer a couple of examples. Formal English - How you speak in an interview for a good job. How you speak if you meet Obama. How you write a college essay. Informal English - How people, especially young people, talk to their friends. How most people talk on TV. How you write a letter to a friend. -We use relative clauses with prepositions in general English in a number of different ways.- Best wishes, Clive

NOTES ON AFFIRMATIVE, NEGATIVE, & INTERROGATIVE FORMS

NOTES ON AFFIRMATIVE, NEGATIVE, & INTERROGATIVE FORMS AFFIRMATIVE The affirmative of the simple past tense is simple. I  was  in Japan last year She  had  a headache yesterday. We  did  our homework last night. NEGATIVE AND INTERROGATIVE For the negative and interrogative simple past form of  "do"  as an ordinary verb, use the auxiliary  "do",  e.g. We  didn't do  our homework last night. The negative of  "have"  in the simple past is usually formed using the auxiliary  "do" , but sometimes by simply adding  not  or the contraction  "n't" . The interrogative form of  "have"  in the simple past normally uses the auxiliary  "do". EXAMPLES They  weren't  in Rio last summer. We  didn't have  any money. We  didn't have  time to visit the Eiffel Tower. We  didn't do  our exercises this morning. Were  they in Iceland last January? Did you have  a bicycle when you wer
