Part of Speech (one of the grammatical groups, such as noun, verb and adjective, into which words are divided depending on their use)

: : Noun - a word that refers to a person, place, thing, event, substance or quality
: : Article - any of the English words 'a', 'an' and 'the' or words in other languages that do the same job as these
: : Adjective - a word that describes a noun or pronoun: 'big', 'boring', 'purple', 'quick' and 'obvious' are all adjectives
          : : Degrees of Comparison (Adjectives)

          : : Degrees of Comparison (Adverbs)
: : Pronoun - a word which is used instead of a noun or a noun phrase

: : Verb Tense - A verb tense shows when an action or state happens (past, present or future). It also indicates whether the action is ongoing or complete. There are 12 (basic) verb tenses in English. The name of a tense is not always a guide to when the action happens. The Present Continuous Tense, for example, can be used to talk about the present or the future.

ٍEnglish language

English - the International Language

A language is the soul of its people      

English is part of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family of languages. It is spoken as a native language by around 377 million and as a second language by around 375 million speakers in the world. Speakers of English as a second language will soon outnumber those who speak it as a first language. Around 750 million people are believed to speak English as a foreign language. English has an official or a special status in 75 countries with a total population of over 2 billion. The domination of the English language globally is undeniable. English is the language of diplomacy and international communications, business, tourism, education, science, computer technology, media and Internet. Because English was used to develop communication, technology, programming, software, etc, it dominates the web. 70% of all information stored electronically is in English. British colonialism in the 19th century and American capitalism and technological progress in the 20th century were undoubtedly the main causes for the spread of English throughout the world. The English language came to British Isles from northern Europe in the fifth century. From the fifteenth century, the British began to sail all over the world and became explorers, colonists and imperialists. They took the English language to North America, Canada and the Caribbean, to South Africa, to Australia and New Zealand, to South Asia (especially India), to the British colonies in Africa, to South East Asia and the South Pacific. The USA has played a leading role in most parts of the world for the last hundred years. At the end of the 19th century and first quarter of the 20th, it welcomed millions of European immigrants who had fled their countries ravaged by war, poverty or famine. This labor force strengthened American economy. The Hollywood film industry also attracted many foreign artists in quest of fame and fortune and the number of American films produced every year soon flooded the market. Before the Treaty of Versailles (1919), which ended the First World War between Germany and the Allies, diplomacy was conducted in French. However, President Woodrow Wilson succeeded in having the treaty in English as well. Since then, English started being used in diplomacy and gradually in economic relations and the media. The future of English as a global language will depend very largely on the political, economical, demographic and cultural trends in the world. The beginning of the 21st century is a time of global transition. According to some experts, faster economic globalization is going hand in hand with the growing use of English. More and more people are being encouraged to use English rather than their own language. On the other hand, the period of most rapid change can be expected to be an uncomfortable and at times traumatic experience for many people around the world. Hence, the oposite view, that the next 20 years or so will be a critical time for the English language and for those who depend upon it. The patterns of usage and public attitudes to English which develop during this period will have long-term effects for its future in the world. *Sources David Crystal The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, Cambridge University Press, 1995.

"ََApartment" vocabulary

Last month, I decided to move out of my parents' place and start living on my own. I searched in the newspaper for apartment listings and found a place not too far from my work. The landlord showed me around the apartment, and because it suited my needs, I signed the rental agreement and paid a deposit, some of which I might get back when I move out. The apartment has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and kitchen. It also has a small utility room where I keep my washer and dryer. Right before I moved in, the landlord put in new carpet and had the walls painted, so it looks like a new place. The rent is $650 a month, not including utilities. I pay about $100 for gas, electricity, water, sewage, and Internet service. Unfortunately, the apartment complex doesn't allow pets, so my dog has to stay with my parents for now. I might get a roommate at some point to share expenses, but I haven't decided on that yet. The place looks a little empty because it isn't furnished, but for the time being, I only have the basics: a bed, a table, a small sofa in the living room, and a TV. It's not as liveable and cozy as my parents' place, but it will have to do for now

Airport vocabulary

The airport is your first stop before leaving on our dream vacation or trip. Generally speaking, you should arrive at the airport with plenty of time to spare. Don't arrive 10 minutes before your plane departs. You can park your car in long-term parking if you are planning to be away for a few days, or you can ask someone to drop you off in the loading zone right in front of the airport terminal. In some cases, you can check your bags there at curbside, or you might have to go to the check-in counter inside the airport. Many airports now allow you to check in at a computer kiosk, but you will still need to check your bags if you have any. Once you are checked in, you will have to pass through security where they will check your ID and your carry-on bags. You will also need to walk through a metal detector, which will check for illegal items. After you pass through security, you can walk to the gate where you can wait to board your flight. Just wait until they call your section to board. They usually seat first-class passengers and those who need assistance first. Enjoy your flight

ٍEnglish spelling rules

ENGLISH SPELLING RULES
Short and Long Vowels

1. To spell a short vowel sound, only one letter is needed:
 
                 at           red            it            hot           up

2. To spell a long sound you must add a second vowel. The second may be next to the first, in the VVC pattern (boat, maid, cue, etc.) or it may be separated from the first one by a consonant in the VCV pattern (made, ride, tide, etc.). If the second vowel is separated from the first by two spaces, it does not affect the first one. This is the VCCV pattern in which the first vowel remains short. Thus, doubling a consonant can be called "protecting" a short vowel because it prevents an incoming vowel from getting close enough to the first one to change its sound from short to long: 

          maid,  made,  but  madder;            dine,  diner,  but dinner.

Spelling the Sound /k/

This sound can be spelled in any one of four ways:

1. c     2. cc     3. k        4. ck

1. The single letter, c , is the most common spelling. It may be used anywhere in a word:

cat	corn	actor	victim	direct	mica
scat	bacon	public	cactus	inflict	pecan

2. Sometimes the letter c must be doubled to cc to protect the sound of a short vowel:

stucco	baccalaureate	hiccups
Mecca	tobacco	buccaneer
occupy	raccoon	succulent

3. The letter k is substituted for c if /k/ is followed by an e, i, or y.

kin	make	sketch	poker	kind	risky
skin	token	skill	keep	liking	flaky

(Boring examples? How about kyphosis, kylix, keratosis, and dyskinesia?)

4. Similarly, the spelling ck, is substituted for cc if the following letter is an e, i, or y:

lucky	picking	rocking	finicky
blackest	mackintosh	frolicked	ducking
Kentucky	picnicking	stocking	Quebecker

5. The letters, k and ck are more than substitutes for c and cc. They are used to spell /k/ at the end of a monosyllable. The digraph, ck, ALWAYS follows a short vowel:

sack

duck

lick

stick

wreck

clock

(Forget about yak. Your student will never need it.)

The letter, k, follows any other sound:

milk	soak	make	bark
tank	peek	bike	cork
tusk	hawk	duke	perk

The Sound, /j/
The sound, /j/ is spelled in three ways: j ge and dge.

1. The letter j is usually used if the sound if followed by an a, o, or u.

just	jam	jungle	injure	major	adjacent
jog	jar	Japan	jury	job	Benjamin
adjust	jacket	jolly	jaguar	jump	jalousie

2. Since the letter g has the soft sound of /j/ when it is followed by an e, i, or y, it is usually used in this situation:

gentle	ginger	aging	algebra
Egyptologist	gem	origin	gym

2. If /j/ follows a short vowel sound, it is usually spelled with dge. This is because the letter j, is never doubled in English.

badge	ridge	dodge	partridge	gadget
judge	edge	smudge	judgement	budget

The Sound, /ch/

The sound /ch/ has two spellings: tch after a short vowel, ch anywhere else:

witch	sketch	botch	satchel
catch	hatchet	kitchen	escutcheon

Exceptions:
Which, rich, much, such, touch, bachelor, attach, sandwich, and ostrich.

The Sound, /kw/
This sound is ALWAYS spelled with the letters, qu, never anything else.

Using -le

Words ending in -le, such as little, require care. If the vowel sound is short, there must be two consonants between the vowel and the -le. Otherwise, one consonant is enough.

li tt le	ha nd le	ti ck le	a mp le
bo tt le	pu zz le	cru mb le	a ng le

bugle

able

poodle

dawdle

needle

idle

people

Odds and Ends

1. The consonants, v, j, k, w, and x are never doubled.
2. No normal English words ends with the letter v. A final /v/ is always spelled with ve, no matter what the preceding vowel sound may be:

have	give	sleeve	cove
receive	love	connive	brave

Adding Endings

There are two kinds of suffixes, those that begin with a vowel and those that begin with a consonant. As usual, the spelling problems occur with the vowels:
 

Vowel Suffixes			Consonant Suffixes
- - - age	- - -ist		- - - ness	- - - cess
- - - ant	- - - ish		- - -less	- - -ment
- - -ance	- - -ing		- - -ly	- - -ty
- - - al	- - -ar		- - -ful	- - -ry
- - -ism	- - -o		- - -hood	- - -ward
- - -able	- - -on		- - -wise
- - -an	- - -ous
- - - a	- - -or
- - -es	- - -ual
- - -ed	- - -unt
- - -er	- - -um
- - -est	- - -us
- - -y	- - -ive

1. Words that end in the letter y must have the y changed to i before adding any suffix:

body - bodily	marry - marriage
many - manifold	family -  familiar
happy - happiness	puppy - puppies
beauty - beautiful	vary - various
company - companion	fury - furious
plenty - plentiful	merry - merriment

2. In words that end in a silent e you must drop it before you add a vowel suffix. The silent e is no longer needed to make the preceding vowel long as the incoming vowel will do the trick:

ride - riding	cure - curable	use - usual	age - aging
fame - famous	force - forcing	refuse -  refusal	slice - slicing
pure - purity	ice - icicle	nose - nosy	convince - convincing
globe - global	race - racist	pole - polar	offense - offensive

 3. Words that end in an accented short or modified vowel sound must have the final consonant doubled to protect that sound when you add a vowel suffix:

Quebec - Quebecker	remit - remittance	confer - conferring	refer - referred
upset - upsetting	shellac - shellacking	occur - occurred	concur- concurrent

Note that this doubling is not done if the accent is not on the last syllable. If the word ends in a schwa, there is no need to "protect" it.

open - opening	organ - organize
focus - focused	refer - referee

4. Normally you drop a silent e before adding a vowel suffix. However, if the word ends in -ce or -ge and the incoming vowel is an a, o, or u, you cannot cavalierly toss out that silent e. It is not useless: it is keeping its left-hand letter soft, and your a, o, or u will not do that. Thus:

manage - manageable	peace - peaceable
courage - courageous	revenge - vengeance
surge - surgeon	change - changeable
notice - noticeable	outrage - outrageous

Gorgeous George bludgeoned a pigeon noticeably! Tsk.

5. Adding consonant suffixes is easy. You just add them. (Of course you must change a final y to i before you add any suffix.)

peace - peaceful	harm - harmless	age - ageless
pity - pitiful	child - childhood	rifle - riflery

/sh/

When this sound occurs before a vowel suffix, it is spelled ti, si, or ci.

partial	cautious	patient	vacation
special	deficient	suspicion	suction
inertia	delicious	ratio	pension
musician	physician	optician	quotient
electrician	nutrition	statistician	expulsion

/ee/ before a vowel suffix

When /ee/ precedes a vowel suffix, it is usually spelled with the letter i:

Indian	obvious	medium
ingredient	zodiac	material

Spelling Determined by Word Meaning

1. Mist and missed sound alike, as do band and banned. To determine the spelling, remember that -ed is a past-tense tending.

a.                     The mist drifted into the harbor.

b.                     I nearly missed my bus.

c.                      The movie was banned in Boston.

d.                     The band played on.

2. The endings of dentist and finest sound alike. Deciding which one to use can be tricky. One rule helps but doesn't cover all cases:

a.                     --ist is a suffix meaning someone who does something:
   artist    -   machinist    -   druggist

b.                     --est is the ending used on superlative adjectives:
   finest    -   sweetest    -   longest

3. The sounds at the end of musician and condition sound alike. but....

a.                     cian always means a person, where...

b.                     tion or sion are never used for people.

4. How do you tell whether to use tion or sion?

a.                     If the root word ends in /t/, use -tion: complete, completion

b.                     If the root word ends in /s/ or /d/, use sion: extend, extension
suppress, suppression

c.                      If the sound of the last syllable is the "heavy" sound of /zhun/ rather than the light sound, /shun/, use s: confusion, vision, adhesion

Exception: The ending, --mit becomes -mission:

permit - permission	omit - omission
submit - submission	commit - commission

The Hiss

1. The letter s between vowels sounds like a z:

nose	result	noise
present	partisan	tease
preside	resound	reserve

2. The light "hissy" sound is spelled with either ss or ce. Predictably, ss, like any proper doubled consonant, follows accented short vowels. Soft c is used anywhere else. (A soft c is one that is followed by e, i, or y).

notice	reticent	massive	bicycle
recent	gossip	russet	rejoice
essence	vessel	discuss	pass

3. The plural ending is always spelled with a single letter s unless you can hear a new syllable on the plural word. In that case, use -es:

loss, losses	bank, banks	twitch, twitches	tree, trees
box, boxes	list, lists	judge, judges

No compendium of spelling rules would be complete with the most important rule of all:
WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK (or look it up)

But ask first - it's quicker.

talking with God

...

I dreamed I was walking along the beach with God.

خیال میکردم که در کنار ساحل با خدا قدم می زنم

Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.

در میان آسمان تصویری از زندگیم جلوه گر شد

For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;

در هر قسمت دو جای پا بر روی شن ها دیدم

One belonging to me, and the other to God.

یکی متعلق به من و دیگری به خدا

When the last scene of my life flashed before me.

وقتی آخرین صحنه زندگیم نمایان شد

I looked back at the footprints in the sand.

بازگشتم و به جای پای روی شن ها نگریستم

I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of foot prints.

دیدم که چندین زمان در طول زندگانیم یک جای پا بیشتر نیست

I also noticed that it happened at very lowest and saddest times in my life.

همچنین دریافتم که این در سخت ترین و غمناک ترین لحظات زندگیم اتفاق افتاده است

This really bothered me so I questioned God about it.

این موضوع مرا براستی میرنجاند پس برای رفع ابهامم از خدا سوال کردم.

"God, you said that once I decided to follow you. You'd walk with me all the way."

خداوندا فرمودی که اگر به تو ایمان بیاورم، هیچ گاه مرا تنها نخواهی گذاشت

But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprint.

اما دیدم که در سخت ترین لحظات زندگیم فقط یک جای پا بیشتر نیست

I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.

نمیدانم چرا در زمانی که بیشترین نیاز را به تو داشتم، تنهایم گذاشتی

God replied, "My precious, precious child"

خدا فرمود: فرزند عزیزم

I love you, and I would never leave you.

تو را دوست دارم و هرگز تنهایت نمی گذارم

During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints

اگر در مواقع سختی و رنج فقط یک جای پا می بینی

It was then that I carried you.

در آن لحظات تو را بدوش کشیدم
