Use and Misuse / Re: Direct and indirect speech

« on: December 17, 2014, 10:59:57 PM »

Is it correct to say that indirect speech is a kind of that-clauses? And what is direct speech grammatically?

Let me clear you that a Clause is a particular and separate article, stipulation, or proviso in a treaty, bill, or contract.

You Asked Me This Question / Re: Did/have

There’s a fundamental difference in sense between the two sentence constructions you presented. The second, “Have you received my message?”, is asking the target recipient to just verify receipt of the message, while the first, “Did you get my message?”, can be understood in two levels or ways. The first level is in the same surface sense as that of the first question—verifying the physical receipt of the message; the second level is the deeper sense—finding out if the target receiver understood the message. In oral communication, how the question “Did you get my message?” will be understood will largely depend on how it is enunciated  by the sender of the message. In written communication, on the other hand, the ambiguity might need to be clarified between the sender and receiver of the message.

The post was absolutely fantastic! Great deal of great information and this can be attractive some and the other way. Keep updating your post,excited to get more detailed contents…Great job, thanks..

How Good is Your English? / Re: Bad English

« on: December 17, 2014, 10:55:36 PM »

Get ideas from these lines, which I found from a site of learning Good English


    Listen to the radio in English. If there are no English radio stations where you live, listen to one on the internet.

    Watch TV and movies in English. If you have English channels on your TV, watch them. If they have subtitles (the words written in your language) underneath the picture, see if they can be turned off. Some people even tape paper across the bottom of the screen so they can't see the words. Most DVD's are great because you can choose the language you want to hear.

    Speak English to your friends. Get a conversation buddy (friend) and speak in English as much as possible. If it is a person whose native language is the same as your own, you may feel silly speaking in English at first. But don't worry. Continue to do it and it will become more natural to you. Finding friends whose native language is English is even better. Ask your friend to correct you when needed.

    Study or travel to an English-speaking country. Of course the best way to immerse yourself in the English language is to live in an all English environment. You'll find yourself surrounded with the language everywhere you turn. It can be a more difficult and expensive choice, but you may find it to be a very valuable and helpful experience.

    Other ideas. Take an English class, join an English group, find a tutor, read English magazines. Do whatever you can to immerse yourself in the language.
