I’m agree. ❌
Many English learners say, "I’m agree," but this is incorrect. The correct form is,
I agree.
Remember, "agree" is a verb, so you don't need to add “am” before it. Just say, “I agree,” to show you have the same opinion as someone else. It’s simple and sounds natural!
Read out loud!
Reading aloud is a great way to improve pronunciation, intonation, and fluency. Choose a short text or even a paragraph from a book and read it out loud.
This practice helps you get comfortable with English sounds and rhythm. Plus, it's a great confidence booster!
Elated
Word | Meaning | In sentence |
---|---|---|
Elated (Adjective) | Extremely happy or joyful. | She was elated when she received the job offer. |
Try using "elated" when you want to express great happiness. It’s a stronger word than just "happy" and adds more emotion to your conversation!

Present perfect vs. simple past
Use the Present Perfect (have/has + past participle) for actions that happened at an unspecified time or have relevance now. Use the Simple Past for actions completed at a specific time.
Present Perfect: "I have seen that movie." (At some time before now, not specified.)
Simple Past: "I saw that movie last week." (At a specific time, "last week.")
Remember, if you mention when it happened (like "yesterday," "last year"), use the Simple Past!

Which sentence is correct?
A) She is much taller than I.
B) She is much taller than me.
Shakespeare’s impact on English
Did you know William Shakespeare invented over 1,700 words that we still use today?
Words like "bedazzled," "lonely," "hurry," and even phrases like "break the ice" came from his plays and poetry!

Watch “Friends” with subtitles!

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts. – Winston Churchill
This quote reminds us that both success and failure are not permanent; what truly matters is the courage to keep trying.
In learning English, don't fear mistakes—each effort brings you closer to fluency!
Children learn languages faster than adults.
Not necessarily true! While children might have an easier time picking up pronunciation, adults often learn vocabulary and grammar faster because of their greater cognitive abilities and life experience.
So, don’t be discouraged—anyone can learn a new language at any age!
