Key to Assignments
No matter how well a student learns grammar, no matter how successful they master the sounds of a second language, without words to express a wide range of meanings, they cannot successfully communicate in that language in any meaningful way. Rudyard Kipling, a British author, characterized words as "the most powerful drug used by mankind. " A student learning to write in English usually finds it hard to express the many ideas filling their mind. To give these ideas proper expression, they must gain an understanding of the English words. Only when they have done this, will they be able to learn how to use words correctly, effectively, and imaginatively.
English Conventions
English is frequently presented as an inflectional language, a language in which grammatical function of clause elements is primarily derived from inflecti
ns of words rather than from word order and preposition. English has S V concord, case, voice,morphological changes ( gender, number, case, tense, voice, mood, degree of comparison, person, and part of speech) in lexicon and frequent use of connective words, formal subject and formal object as well. These features are the basis of English language.
