The

punctuation

mark

Apostrophe

is

either

used

to

show

possession/belonging

(apostrophe

-s)

or

to

make

contractions

(are

not

=

aren’t).

Your

v/s

You’re

-

“Your”

shows

possession;

a

relationship

between

nouns,

whereas

“you’re”

is

a

contraction

of

‘you

are’.

What

is

the

difference

between

“its”

and

“it’s”?

A

question

tag

is

a

very

short

clause

added

at

the

end

of

a

statement

to

change

it

into

a

question.

For

example,

in

'He

is

coming

tomorrow,

isn't

he?',

the

words

'didn't

she'

are

a

question

tag.

We

often

use

question

tags

when

we

expect

the

listener

to

agree

with

our

statement.

In

this

case,

when

the

statement

is

positive,

we

use

a

negative

question

tag

and

vice-versa.

Can

you

put

the

correct

question

tag

in

this

sentence

-

‘Pinky

was

studying

for

her

test,

wasn’t

it?’

PS

is

the

acronym

of

‘Postscript’

that

is

used

at

the

end

of

letters

and

emails

to

add

extra

information.

Acronyms

are

words

which

are

formed

from

the

first

letters

of

other

words

(eg.,

ATM,

DOB,

FYI).

They

are

different

from

abbreviations

which

are

shorter

spellings

of

words

and

expressions

we

use

every

day

(eg.,

vol,

dept,

impt)

Note:

Acronyms

can

be

used

in

IELTS

Speaking

test,

but

not

abbreviations.

Is

‘Mr.’

an

abbreviation

or

an

acronym?

A

run-on

is

a

sentence

in

which

too

many

ideas

are

put

together

without

appropriate

punctuation.

Such

a

sentence

is

grammatically

incorrect.

You

cannot

write

everything

in

a

single

sentence;

one

sentence

represents

one

complete

idea.

Watch

this

video

to

understand

the

correct

formation

of

sentences.

Note:

Avoid

speaking

or

writing

too

many

ideas

connected

with

‘and’.

Instead

break

the

sentences

into

smaller

units,

representing

single

ideas.

you

your

language

skills

daily?

In

English,

the

‘e’

at

the

end

of

most

words

is

generally

not

spoken,

e.g.,

made,

done,

rate,

etc.

However,

‘e’

at

the

end

is

pronounced

in

words

borrowed

from

other

languages

(such

as

French),

e.g.,

fiance,

risque,

macramé,

etc.

In

their

original

language,

all

of

these

words

would

have

an

accent

on

the

last

letter,

making

the

last

consonant-vowel

pair

a

spoken

syllable.

Note:

English

does

not

use

any

markings

on

its

vowels,

as

other

languages

do,

and

so

it

borrows

the

phonetic

sound

without

changing

the

spellings

of

such

words.

Do

you

think

the

final

‘e’

is

pronounced

in

the

word,

‘Recipe’?

Both

I

and

myself

are

pronouns

but

they

differ

in

a

way

that

‘I’

is

used

as

a

subject,

whereas

‘myself’

is

a

Reflexive

pronoun.

Reflexive

pronouns

like

himself,

herself,

themselves,

oneself,

etc.

refer

back

to

the

same

person

or

something.

We

often

use

them

when

the

subject

and

the

object

of

a

verb

are

the

same.

The

Reflexive

pronoun

‘myself’

works

as

an

object

(receiver

of

the

action),

and

so,

it

cannot

be

used

as

a

subject.

It

always

needs

a

subject

on

which

it

can

reflect

upon.

Can

you

name

some

more

Reflexive

pronouns?

A

misplaced

modifier

is

a

word

or

phrase

that

is

improperly

separated

from

the

word

it

modifies

or

describes.

Because

of

the

separation,

sentences

with

this

error

often

sound

awkward,

ridiculous,

or

confusing.

Rule:

Place

the

modifiers

close

to

the

word

they

modify.

Can

you

provide

the

correct

version

of

this

sentence:

We

ate

the

dinner

we

had

bought

slowly.

A

root

word

is

the

most

basic

part

of

the

word.

Learning

root

words

is

a

good

way

of

remembering

the

meaning

of

difficult

words,

hence

developing

an

expansive

vocabulary.

‘Phobia’

is

one

root

word

which

is

attached

to

various

syllables

making

different

words.

Watch

this

to

and

is

the

meaning

of

the

‘bio’?

A

lot

of

non-native

speakers

of

English

think

that

words

with

double

consonants

like,

happy

are

pronounced

as

and

/hap-py/.

It

must

be

noted

that

in

the

English

language,

the

double

consonants

are

blended

into

a

single

consonant.

‘happy’.

It

is

important

to

be

fluent

while

giving

the

IELTS

Speaking

test.

A

lot

of

students

either

speak

too

fast

or

too

slow.

Sometimes,

they

do

not

apply

pauses

in

speech

properly.

Pauses

allow

you

to

punctuate

your

spoken

words,

giving

your

listeners

clues

as

to

when

one

phrase,

one

sentence,

or

one

paragraph

ends,

and

the

next

begins.

Pauses

help

engage

your

audience

and

enhance

your

speech.

They

convey

emotions

and

help

control

the

overall

pace

of

your

speech.

Sometimes,

not

using

pauses

properly

can

be

hazardous.

Now,

apply

pauses

by

putting

commas

in

this

sentence:

“She

found

inspiration

in

cooking

her

family

and

her

dog.”
