THE MEANING OF GENERAL ENGLISH






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

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
