“I didn’t knew” vs. “I didn’t know”

A mistake many learners make is saying, “I didn’t knew,” but this is incorrect. After “did” in a negative sentence, we always use the base form of the verb, not the past tense. So, the correct sentence is:

Think of it this way: “did” already shows the past, so there’s no need to change the verb to past tense. Keep it simple and use the base form, “know.”

Keep a vocabulary notebook.

One of the best ways to grow your vocabulary is by writing down new words as you learn them.

Keep a small notebook or use a notes app on your phone to record any new words, their meanings, and an example sentence.

Review your notes regularly, and try to use those words in your daily conversations. This habit will help you remember new words and build confidence in using them!

Curious

Being curious means you’re always interested in learning new things. It’s a useful word to describe someone who loves to explore and ask questions.

Try using this word when describing someone who is always eager to know more!

Comparative adjectives

To compare two things, add -er to short adjectives or use “more” before long adjectives.

• Example: "This car is faster than that one." (For short adjectives like "fast")

• Example: "This book is more interesting than that one." (For longer adjectives like "interesting")

Remember: Use -er for short adjectives and more for longer ones when making comparisons.

Which sentence is correct?

A) She is smarter than her sister.
B) She is more smarter than her sister.

The answer is at the bottom of the page.

The dot over the letter "i" has a name!

Did you know that the small dot above lowercase “i” and “j” is called a tittle?

It’s a unique feature in English typography, and though it’s tiny, it plays an important role in making the letters distinct and easy to read.

English has many quirky details like this that are fun to discover!

You need to have a perfect accent to be fluent in English. ❌

This is not true! Fluency is about being able to communicate your ideas clearly and confidently, not about sounding like a native speaker.

Many fluent English speakers have accents, and it’s completely normal. What matters most is that others can understand you and that you feel comfortable expressing yourself.

So, don’t stress about having the perfect accent—focus on being clear and confident!
