Terms English

The word «rule» we encounter everywhere. And since childhood know what it means. Normally, the decision or order which establishes the procedure for anything. And the rules must perform, even though we love them often violated. Is this definition of the word «normally», if we are talking about the language? What is it about the language we mean by this term?

Rules in a language we call any specific provisions, laws on which is built the whole language system, and which is carried out through the clever use of language phenomena in general. The rules of the English language arose and perfected over many centuries. And that is the historical development of language contributed to the emergence of the regulations and laws that we have today. Also do not forget that the English language — a living language spoken by millions around the world. And like any living language it undergoes changes, losing something is not relevant and enriching any new principles and precepts.

What are the rules of the English language?

To put all of the above in one sentence, it turns out that starting to learn the language, we, first of all, learn the rules under which it operates. Terms English cover almost all aspects of the language from phonetic to lexical, and first and grammar. For example, remembering some word, you are sure to encounter the rule of its use in speech when it can be used in any phrase (sentence with an infinitive or gerund, in the present or past — underline), and when not to do so worth. We learn the words, trying to create a proposal. Their structure is also subject to the rules, including strict word order. But what to say, the whole English grammar — it is simply a reader of rules that we remember during the learning process.

The only question is that the rules themselves — something completely uninteresting, and sometimes incomprehensible. This is particularly true of grammar. That’s why she had not earned good reviews among students. But even boring rules can be written in the form of interesting material. Go ahead. To read our just created a proposal, you need to correctly pronounce sounds. Again, the rules of the English language, this time to read the rules. With one sentence managed. Say it simple, not a lot of saturated parts of the sentence. And if the opposite? What punctuation arrange it? It comes in punctuation rules of the English language, which will prompt when a comma is needed, and when the colon.

Many think in global terms, trying to define the rules of language learning. They paint the points, as well as what to do. Although I would not call these records regulations. It is, most often, guidance and advice on the process of learning options for «how to make it faster and more efficient.»

It turns out that everywhere you look, everywhere the rules of the English language, from which no escape. But this is not the worst. Rule — a good thing, it is an axiom that is not subject to the proof and discussion. It’s the law, why in this case would be so, but not that way. In fact, that’s fine. I learned a set of rules and use the language in accordance with these laws. But if it were so simple. I do not tire of repeating, that the English language — the language is a great exception. Whatever you normally take, there must exist some point or nuance that it would not fit, and thus automatically become the exception. This is what you need, and get used to learning the language. Terms of English — it’s not the rock on which we can rely and be confident that you conquer it. Even if you know absolutely all the rules of the English language, remember that this does not mean that you know the language and know how to use them correctly.

Therefore, starting to learn the language, be sure to mark all cases that do not correspond to a particular rule, and in any case, do not be discouraged that we have to memorize so much information. Someday it will serve you well, do not hesitate!
