Re: especially

bird of paradise — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 13:25:10 GMT

Especially / specially: Especially usually means particularly: she loves all spots, especially swimming . It is not placed first in a sentence. Specially usually means for a particular purpose and is often followed by a past participle, such as designed, developed or made etc. In BrE, especially and specially are often used in the same way and it can be hard to hear the difference when people speak. Specially is less formal. I bought this especially/specially for you . The adjective for both especially and specially is usually special .

Re: A Question about THE MERCHANT OF VENICE

bird of paradise — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 12:47:02 GMT

Castellano, It is a generally accepted view that Shakespear has not written a single tragedy without a hero, and not a single comedy without a hero and heroine. Now lets apply this veiw to the THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. "Portia is the heroine of the play" Certainly not, because if it is so than we must say that Bassanio is the hero of the play, since we know about their love affair. And then we must say that the title refers to Bassanio, because all the titles of shakespear's plays which are associated with somebody take the same person as the hero, e.g. Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth, Antony AND Cleopetra etc. On the contrary we know that the title THE MERCHANT OF VENICE refers to Antonio, which means he is the hero. Now we must...

bird of paradise — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 12:14:33 GMT

Thanks nona the brit & Francesca. I think both of you are right, and this is what i believe. Also I think that there is a difference between learning a language and acquiring a language. We acquire our mother tongue, which is an unconscious process and does not require serious/formal grammar study. On the other hand learning a language is something different. We learn a language after we pass that age of uncousciousness (childhood). Then we cannot say acquiring language, rather we must say learning language, and it requires serious/formal grammar study of the language we are learning. So, I think in the preface of that textbook the auther is wrong when he says grammar and exercises are only requirements of the syllabus, not...

Re: How many tenses are there in English language?

bird of paradise — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 19:25:31 GMT

There are TWO tenses in English language; present and past. There is no future tense. Let me clarify it. What is tense? Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary defines tense as: Any of the forms of a verb that may be used to show the time of the action or state expressed by the verb. Now what is time? Time is a universal concept with three divisions: present, past and future. Now look at the forms of the verb. Each main verb in English language has six different forms. e.g. Go: 1. Go = Base form 2. go = general present 3. goes = 3rd person singular 4. went = past 5. going = presnet participle 6. gone = past participle All the above six forms refer either to present time or to past time. There is no form of the verb which can refer to future...
