Как запоминать иностранные слова при помощи звуковых ассоциаций

2010-09-27T01:33:00.000+04:00

Как запоминать иностранные слова при помощи звуковых ассоциаций
Метод фонетических (звуковых) ассоциаций (МФА) возник потому, что в самых различных языках мира есть слова или части слов, звучащих одинаково, но имеющих разное значение. К тому же в разных языках встречаются слова, имеющие общее происхождение, но с течением времени получившие различное значение. Часто люди пользуются этим методом, не отдавая себе отчета в том, что используют именно его.

Word Order in Complex Sentences
Порядок слов в сложноподчиненных предложениях

There are five parts of a sentence: the subject, the predicate, the attribute, the object, and the adverbial modifier. Accordingly, there are five types of subordinate clauses:
the subject clause,
the predicative clause,
the attributive clause,
the object clause, and
the adverbial clause.

Word order in subordinate clauses is first the subject, then the verb.

In complex sentences with subordinate clauses, the clauses stand in the place of the part of the sentence that they represent.

Compare these pairs of simple and complex sentences in Parts 1-4:

English Club (lessons, games, quizzes, forums, chat, lesson plans and more for ESL learners & teachers)

Gradable Adjectives

A gradable adjective can be used with "grading adverbs" that vary the adjective's grade or intensity. Look at these examples:

angry, big, busy, clever, cold, deep, fast, friendly, good, happy, high, hot, important, long, popular, rich, strong, tall, warm, weak, young

Non-gradable Adjectives

A non-gradable adjective cannot be used with grading adverbs:

It was rather freezing outside.
The dog was very dead.
He is investing in slightly nuclear energy.

alive, awful, black, boiling, certain, correct, dead, domestic, enormous, environmental, excellent, freezing, furious, gigantic, huge, immediately, impossible
