English Grammar

A compound adjective is sometimes called a hyphenated adjective. What are they?

Let's look at the following sentences:

The first sentence contains a compound adjective.

The second sentence doesn't.

However the meaning of the two sentences are very different as can be seen in the picture below:

I saw a man-eating alligator.
We are describing the alligator. What type of alligator is it? It is one that eats men (or people).

I saw a man eating alligator.
This sentence without the hyphen sounds like a man is eating an alligator.
(man is the subject, eating is the verb, alligator is the object or thing that is being eaten).

As you can see, the hyphen (or lack of it) makes a big difference in the meaning of the sentence.

Before we explain in more detail why we put that hyphen between those two words in the first sentence, we need to do a quick review of Adjectives.

What is an adjective?

An adjective is a word that describes something.

A red car ( red is an adjective because it describes the car. How is the car? Red)

A big book ( big is an adjective because it describes the book. How is the book? Big)

See our other grammar notes about Adjectives in English. (LINK coming soon)

But sometimes we use more than one adjective to describe something.

Compound adjectives

A compound adjective is an adjective that contains two or more words.

In general we put a hyphen between two or more words (before a noun) when we want them to act as a single idea (adjective) that describes something.

I live in an English-speaking country.

English-speaking is an adjective (used to describe the country). We use a hyphen to connect the word English with speaking to show that it is one adjective (or one idea).

This adjective with two words joined by the hyphen is called a compound adjective.

Some more examples of compound adjectives are:

Our office is in a twenty-storey building.

I have just finished reading a 300-page book.

He is a well-known writer.

There are many types of Compound Adjectives. Here is a list of the most common types:

Periods of Time

When we have compound adjectives using a number + a time period, that word referring to a time period is in singular form and is joined to the number with a hyphen.

I work eight hours every day --> I work an eight-hour day

I'm going on vacation for three weeks --> I have a three-week vacation

There was a delay of 5 seconds --> There was a five-second delay

Notice how we normally write the number as a word, not in numerical form.

Adverbs and Compound Adjectives

Adverbs modify a verb.

How does she walk? Slowly. Slowly is an adverb that modifies (or describes) the verb.

Adverbs can also be used to modify an adjective.

It is very hot today. (Very is an adverb)

She is extremely intelligent. (Extremely is an adverb)

Notice how we do not put a hyphen between an adverb and an adjective (not even before a noun).

Adverb + Past Participle

However when we have an Adverb + past participle, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

This is a brightly-lit room.

She is a well-known actress.

We live in a densely-populated city.

Noun + Past Participle

When we have a noun + past participle, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

Noun + Present Participle

When we have a noun + present participle, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

Noun + Adjective

When we have a noun + adjective, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

Adjective + Noun

When we have an adjective + noun, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

Adjective + Past Participle

When we have an adjective + past participle, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

Adjective + Present Participle

When we have an adjective + present participle, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

Compound Adjectives with Proper Nouns

A proper noun is the name of something or someone (e.g. John, Susan Sanders).

Compound Adjectives made from Proper nouns don't need a hyphen though must have capital letters.

I bought the James Jackson tickets for us.

James Jackson is a compound adjective describing the tickets (What type of tickets? James Jackson tickets). Since the adjective is a Proper noun, we don't need a hyphen between the two names.

How do we know when to put a hyphen?

If you can use the word "and" between the two adjectives or words, then a hyphen isn't necessary.

She has a big blue book.

(Big and Blue are adjectives)
Can we say: She has a big and blue book. (Yes, it is possible)

He is a world famous singer. (Is this correct?)

Can we say: He is a world and famous singer. No, it doesn't sound correct so we need a hyphen to join the words world and famous:

He is a world-famous singer. (Correct)

Also, look at the following:

It's an old coal-mining town

Notice how we didn't put a hyphen between the word old and coal. If we had have done that, we would have been referring to old coal, as in coal that is old. We want to emphasise that the town in old and not the coal.

Here we can say it is old and a coal-mining one.

Dyslexia and other reading-based learning disabilities are most common among students. NaturalReader text-to-speech makes learning more accessible by assisting with any reading, taking tests and promoting independence.

Students can have any text they need to read, read aloud to them so they can read along. Having the text provided both visually and auditory, allows the student to focus less on the act of reading, and more on the comprehension of the content. Other features like dyslexia font, flexible reading speeds, and highlighted text also ease the task of finishing readings.

For most students, learning does not stop when school ends. NaturalReader EDU enables students to be more independent and assists with learning at home. Whether they're doing homework, reading at home, or just surfing the web, our Chrome Extension and Mobile Application are always available.

This is the ultimate guide to saying (or reading out) numbers in English. Also check out Maths Vocabulary in English: Do You Know the Basics?

Today, you're going to learn how to say different types of numbers in English.

We'll look at how to say:

Big numbers in English

First, you try!

OK. Take a look at these sentences and see if you can say the numbers correctly.

Don't move on to the next part until you've tried to say them. It's like a test - but a fun one!

Was I right?

Well, let's see if you were right.

What are the rules here?

OK. There are four things you should think about here.

1. Break big numbers up into pieces!

See the commas between the numbers? (They're full stops in most languages but not in English - because English likes to be different!)

Those commas show you how to break the number up. So just say the numbers between the commas and add "billion," "million," "thousand," etc. afterwards:

Note: To avoid confusion between commas (,) and full stops (.) in big numbers, there's an international standard. What's the solution? Just uses spaces.

324,678,129 → 324 678 129

2. Don't make "one hundred," "one thousand," etc., plural!

Just remember, when we're saying a big number, the numbers are not pluralised:

So don't say:
4,000 - " four thousands "

Say:
4,000 - "four thousand"

3. Say "and" after "hundred" (if you prefer British English)

Did you notice the "and"?

Basically, every time we say "hundred," we say "and" next.

Remember - this doesn't work if there are just zeros after the hundred:

But it's worth remembering that most English speakers don't add "and" - it's usually just the Brits. So you can ignore this rule if you like.

4. "One hundred" or "a hundred" - it doesn't really matter

With the following numbers, you have freedom of choice:

Yay, freedom!

Saying prices in English

First, you try!

OK. Look at these sentences. How do you say them?

Was I right?

OK. Let's check:

What are the rules here?

There are two main rules at work here:

1. Word order of prices

In the first example ($1.89), did you notice how we said the first number first (1), then the currency ($), then the other number (89)?

That's the order we use when we talk about prices:

Remember, we don't have to say "cents" (or "pence" or "Kopek," etc.). It's clear from the context.

In fact, very often we don't even say the currency. So you could just say:

2. Using "grand" or "K" instead of "thousand"

If you're talking about big numbers all the time, it doesn't make sense saying a long word like "thousand" again and again.

Fortunately, we can shorten "thousand" to either "grand" or "K."

But remember, it only works when the number is exactly on the thousands:

Saying the time correctly

First, you try!

OK - can you say these times correctly?

Be careful here. I've written these all in 24-hour time, but we don't say all of them in 24-hour time. Think about the context!

The film about sushi starts at 19:00. Don't be late!

The plane leaves at 17:43. Then the adventure begins!

The next train leaving platform 4 will depart at 15:00.

Shall we meet at around 18:30?

You're late! It's 08:03.

Was I right?

Let's see!

19:00 (in this situation) = "seven" or "seven p.m." or maybe "seven o'clock"
17:43 (in this situation) = "seventeen forty-three"
15:00 (in this situation) = "fifteen hundred hours"
18:30 (in this situation) = "six thirty" or "half-past six" or "half six"
08:03 = "eight oh-three" or "three (minutes) past eight"

What are the rules here?

Most of the rules here are a bit different because they depend on context.

1. When speaking informally, don't use 24-hour time

So when we're hanging out with our friends (like in the first and fourth examples), we almost never use 24-hour time.

And when you do use 24-hour time, never use "o'clock" or "half past" or "5 to" or any of the normal "telling the time" stuff.

We just say the numbers.

That means we don't say "nineteen o'clock." Ever. Just never say it!

And we never, ever, ever say "half past twenty."

Instead, we just use 12-hour time.

So don't say "nineteen o'clock." Instead, say "seven o'clock." Thinking of saying "five past twenty"? Don't! Say "five past eight" instead.

When I explain this to English learners, they often ask, "But how do you know whether it's morning or evening?"

And my answer is always the same: If you like, you can say "p.m." or "a.m." to clarify. But how many people go to the cinema at 7 in the morning? Usually, the context is clear enough.

And then they say, "Thanks. Also, your hair is looking great today."

2. 24-hour time for scheduled events (usually transport)

When we're talking about a train or a plane or a bus leaving, we can use 24-hour time, and it doesn't sound too weird, even when we're talking to friends (like in the second example).

And we can certainly expect to hear it when it's being announced at an airport or station (like in the third example).

3. There are three ways of saying "half past something"

... and none of them includes "o'clock."

You can say "06:30" in three different ways:

1. "It's half past 6." (half past + number)

2. "It's 6 thirty." (number + thirty)

3. "It's half 6." (half + number) - this one's a bit informal, and it will confuse Germans.

But you can never, ever, ever say "it's half past 6 o'clock."

Remember, we only use "o'clock" when the time is on the hour ("two o'clock," "four o'clock," "one o'clock," etc.) and no other situation!

4. Use "oh"

The last example above (3:03) is a little tricky. If you have to express a time like this, instead of saying "zero," just say "oh."

3:03 = "three oh-three"
1:08 = "one oh-eight"

Saying decimals in English

OK. You may be wondering what a "decimal" is.

Well, you're about to find out!

First, you try!

First of all, let's try saying these sentences:

According to my calculations, the answer is 6.66666666666666666666666666666666 ...

Yes, we must angle the mirror at precisely 45.665° to destroy the ships and rule the world!

Was I right?

OK, let's check it!

45.665° = "forty-five point six six five degrees"
66.6666666666... = "sixty-six point six recurring"

What are the rules here?

There are three things to remember here:

1. Say "point" in decimal numbers

Simple rule, right? Just say "point" and not "dot" or "full stop." Or "elephant." Definitely don't say "elephant."

2. After "point," say the numbers one by one

Mathematically speaking, the numbers after the point (665 in the example above) are not hundreds. So we don't say "six hundred and sixty-five."

After the point, we just say the numbers one by one ("six six five").

3. When numbers repeat forever, just say "recurring"

Maths is weird, and I find it strange that stuff like this can happen with numbers.

But when you have the number 6 repeating itself forever, I'd recommend not saying the number again and again until you die of thirst or boredom and all your friends have left the room.

Just say it once and add "recurring."

Sometimes, more than one number repeats itself over and over, like this: 12.131313131313 ...

In this case, just say the pair of numbers that repeat themselves (in this case "one three") and add "recurring."

12.131313131313 ... = "twelve point one three recurring"

First, Second, Third... (ordinal numbers)

First, you try!

You know what to do:

Was I right?

What are the rules here?

There are a few very simple rules here.

1. Use "the" (or the possessive)

Because ordinal numbers are very specific (How many first places are there in a race?) we almost always use "the" before them.

Make it an automatic habit!

Here's a quick tip, not just for ordinal numbers but generally in English:

You don't have to use "the" if you have a possessive.

So you can say:

The third horse on the left is looking at me strangely.

But you can also say:

May I introduce you to my seventh wife?

2. Use "-th" for ordinal numbers after 1st, 2nd and 3rd

Generally speaking, to create an ordinal number, you just add "-th." (Although sometimes the spelling can be tricky.) Click here for the full list of ordinal numbers.

It's the same for small numbers:

This is the fifth computer he's bought this year.

And big ones:

You're the ninety-ninth person to ask me that today.

But be careful. If you're making 1, 2 or 3 ordinal, remember that they're completely different:

It's the same for small numbers:

It's the first Sunday of the month - and you know what that means!

And big ones:

It's the fifty-second week of the year. Finally!

Saying Fractions in English

First, you try!

OK. You know the drill. How do you say these sentences?

The meeting should've just been 1 ½ hours, but because Eduardo wouldn't stop talking, it went on for over 2 ½ hours. I was late for my tennis team meeting.

I don't want all of it - can you just give me ⅙ of the pizza? No, make it 2⁄6 ... That's ⅓, isn't it?

Was I right?

1 ½ hours = "one and a half hours" or "an hour and a half"
2 ½ hours = "two and a half hours"
⅙ = "one-sixth" or "a sixth"
2⁄6 = "two-sixths"
⅓ = "one-third" or "a third"

What are the rules here?

1. Use an ordinal number on the bottom

Remember the ordinal numbers we talked about above?

We use them for fractions, too.

Let's look at a simple fraction: ⅓

There are two numbers - "1" on the top and "3" on the bottom.

Simply say the number on the top normally - "one" - and the ordinal of the number on the bottom - "third."

Then you have "one third."

That's it!

2. Make the bottom number plural if the top number is 2 or higher

Remember that if we're dealing with a fraction that doesn't have "1" on the top, the ordinal must be plural.

So let's take another example fraction: ⅔

Take the number on the top as usual ("2") and make the ordinal on the bottom plural, so "third" becomes "thirds" (because in this case, there are two of them).

⅔ = "two thirds"

3. Say "quarter" not "fourth" and "half" not "second"

When the bottom number is 2 or 4, we use "half/halves" and "quarter/quarters."

Instead of saying ½ as "one second," we say "one half" or "a half."

And instead of saying ¼ as "one fourth," we say "one quarter" or "a quarter."

4. Get the order right with fractions!

The usual way to say these numbers is as you read them.

Let's look at an example: 2 ½ hours

Say "two and a half" then "hours" (not "two hours and a half").

Simple and direct, yeah?

4. With 1 ½, there's an alternative!

Do you remember at the beginning of this post, we saw how we can choose between "one hundred" and "a hundred?"

Well, it's the same with "1 ½ " - you can use "one" or "a." It's up to you, but remember that the word order is different:

5. When we say 1 ½, the following noun becomes plural

Did you notice that in the example above, we said "one and a half hours," not "one and a half hour "?

This is a rule in English that a lot of books don't talk about much.

But here I am ... talking about it!

I guess the logic is that if the number is anything more than one (including 1.000000001), it's officially plural.

Talking about the temperature

First, you try!

OK. Can you say these correctly?

Was I right?

What are the rules here?

1. There are three ways of talking about temperatures below zero

So when it's that cold and your hair is freezing, then it's probably below zero, right?

You can say:

"Minus 40 degrees" (minus + number + degrees)

"Negative 40 degrees" (negative + number + degrees)

"Forty (degrees) below (zero)" (number + (degrees) + below (+ zero))

Remember, you don't need to say "Celsius" or "Fahrenheit" if it's clear from the context.

In fact, you don't even need to say "degrees" if it's obvious you're talking about the temperature.

Also remember: when you use the third option (with "below"), you don't need to say "zero" or "degrees," but only do this when it's clear whether you're discussing Celsius or Fahrenheit. And make sure that it's clear that you're talking about the temperature and not your downstairs neighbours.

2. Celsius or centigrade or Fahrenheit?

OK. This is pretty simple.

Celsius and centigrade are exactly the same. So don't worry about mixing these ones up. Because it's impossible!

" Fahrenheit " is the weird measurement that the Americans use that I just don't understand.

To me, Celsius makes sense: 0°C is where water freezes and 100°C is where it boils.

I think the best way to think about Fahrenheit is that between 50°F and 100°F is the human comfort zone! (50°F is 10°C and 100°F is almost 40°C.)

Talking about space

Not the space with aliens and frightening amounts of radiation. And Sandra Bullock acting badly (as usual).

I mean the space of a room or a box or a cave.

First, you try!

Yeah, we had to downsize. The new office is only 30m². And there are 15 of us!

Watch this amazing man fit into a box that's just 30cm³!

Was I right?

= "thirty metres squared" or "thirty square metres"
= "thirty centimeters cubed" or "thirty cubic centimeters"

What are the rules here?

1. There are two ways to say m²

This is pretty simple. You have a choice here.

You can say "12 metres squared" (number + "metres" + "squared").

Or you can go for "12 square metres" (number + "square" + "metres").

2. There are two ways to say m³

Again - it's really straight-forward:

You can say "3 metres cubed" (number + "metres" + "cubed").

Or you can say "3 cubic metres" (number + "cubic" + "metres").

That's it! Nothing else to see here. Please move on.

Talking about speed in English!

No, not the Sandra Bullock film. Please stop talking about Sandra Bullock.

First, you try!

OK. Remember to say these before reading on.

We don't have enough road to get up to 88 mph.

This bike is capable of getting up to 45 km/h. Seriously.

The speed of light? It's almost 300,000 km/sec.

Was I right?

What are the rules here?

1. "Per hour" or "an hour"?

When we're talking about speed, we have a choice - we can say "per hour" or "an hour" (or "per second" or "a second").

But which one to use?

My advice is that in most situations, use "an hour."

"Per hour" sounds a little more technical and formal.

But the difference is small here, so I wouldn't worry about this too much. There are better things to worry about. Like global warming.

2. The units are plural

It's important to remember that the distances here are very likely to be plural (unless we're talking about 1mph or 1km/sec).

So remember that it's "88 miles per hour" not " mile per hour."

That is all!

Saying years in English

First, you try!

The great fire of London? That was 1666, I think.

My gran was one of the oldest people in my town when she died. She was born in 1905. Seriously! Her husband was born in 1900!

What did you do for New Year's 2000?

I've been thinking about changing jobs since 2003. But I'm still here. Maybe next year.

They thought the world was going to end in 2012. But they also thought that the world was flat and that lizards are our rulers.

I can't wait for 2020 and a new decade. This last one was a bit rubbish!

Was I right?

1666 = "sixteen sixty-six"
1905 = "nineteen oh-five"
1900 = "nineteen hundred"
2000 = "two thousand"
2003 = "two thousand and three"
2012 = "two thousand and twelve" or "twenty twelve"
2020 = "twenty twenty"

What are the rules here?

OK. There's a lot here. But the good news? It's all pretty simple.

1. Cut years into two

For almost all the years, we cut them into two - the first two numbers and the second two:

2. Remember "oh"

When the year ends with zero plus a number (e.g. 1903, 1109, 1601) just say "oh" instead of the zero ("nineteen oh-three," "eleven oh-nine," "sixteen oh-one").

Remember, this only works for years after 1000 and not years beginning with 20 (e.g. 2009).

3. Use "hundred" or "thousand" when you see lots of zeros

If the year ends in double zero (e.g. 1400, 1100, 2100) just say "hundred" after the first numbers ("fourteen hundred," "eleven hundred," "twenty-one hundred").

Remember, this doesn't work for triple zero years (e.g. 1000, 2000, 3000). With these, we just say "thousand" ("one thousand," "two thousand," "three thousand").

4. How to say 2001 - 2009

Although we can say "twenty-oh-three," a lot of people prefer to say "two thousand and three," all the way up to "two thousand and ten."

But what about after that? What happens after 2010?

Apparently, no one can agree on this. So we hear people saying "twenty eleven" and other people saying "two thousand and eleven." Those people have more energy.

"But that's mad! Does this continue forever?" I can hear you asking.

The answer is "yes, it is mad" and "fortunately not."

Because when we get back to 2020, we're back to the old system again ("twenty twenty," "twenty twenty-eight," "twenty fifty-four," etc.)

OK! You've made it to the end! Congratulations! You rule!

You are now a MASTER of saying numbers in English!

But you'll need to do one more thing to really take in what you've learned today.

Look at these numbers - can you write them out in full?

What happens when a frog's car breaks down? It gets toad away. If you're like me and laughed at this joke more than you probably should have, you know that words are fun. Bruce Worden, the man behind a blog called Homophones, Weakly, also shares this opinion. Like you might have already guessed, he's into homophones (each of two or more words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling). In fact, Bruce likes them so much, he's even visualizing them!

Poking fun at the English language, Bruce uses minimalistic illustrations to prove that we just have to listen. For without context we couldn't know if someone is inviting us to a sail or sale.

10 mots d'anglais déroutants à ne plus confondre!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ah, l'anglais, quelle langue complexe ! C'est pile lorsque nous pensons que nos explications ont enfin porté leurs fruits que vous enfreignez une règle d'orthographe ou prononcez le son " ough " de mille et une mauvaises façons. Chers lecteurs, cet article, où nous vous présentions 10 mots d'anglais difficiles n'était que le début. Préparez-vous à découvrir de nouvelles règles d'orthographe et de grammaire anglaises pour éviter de martyriser davantage ces 10 mots anglais fréquemment confondus et mal utilisés !

1. Misspell

Oh l'ironie du sort ! Comment est-ce qu'un verbe signifiant mal orthographié peut-il être si difficile à épeler ? Il est vrai que ce premier mot a l'air un peu trop habillé avec ses deux " s " et ses deux " l ". Pour ne plus jamais l'écorner, souvenez-vous du dicton : Miss Pell never misspells.

2. Its ou It's

Ces deux-là ont fait pleurer bon nombre d'entre nous. Comme nous le savons, it's est la contraction de it is et its est la forme possessive de it. Envie sournoise d'insérer une apostrophe ? Vérifiez d'abord s'il est possible de remplacer it par his ou hers. Si la réponse est oui, its est fait pour vous !

3. A lot ou Allot

Quelle différence un simple espace peut faire ! A lot décrit la quantité et, cerise sur le gâteau, il peut être employé à la fois avec les dénombrables (comme people, chairs ou cups of coffee) et les indénombrables (tels que water, rice, money ou hair). Pensez : I have a lot of time. He's got a lot of books. How much do we have? A lot. Allot, pour sa part, est un verbe régulier qui signifie " attribuer ". Comme dans l'exemple : I allotted everyone 30 minutes to speak. All the students were allotted a study area. (Et pour faire monter les enchères : He allotted everyone a lot of time).

4. Piece ou Peace

Et à présent, autre chose que vous pouvez attribuer ( allot) et que les gens sont toujours ravis de recevoir : le dessert, ce qui nous amène à notre prochaine paire de mots épineuse. Heureusement, c'est simple comme bonjour. La prochaine fois que vous hésiterez entre piece et peace, pensez plutôt à a pie ce of pie (une part de tarte) that will bring world peace (qui instaurera la paix mondiale).

5. Advice ou Advise

Advice - avec le son s - se réfère à un conseil ou une suggestion en vue d'un plan d'action ( my friend gave me some really great advice). Advise - avec le son z - signifie suggérer ce qu'il faut faire ou donner des conseils ( he advised me to exercise first thing in the morning). Ouf ! Mais comment est-on censé les différencier ? Ne l'oubliez plus jamais grâce à cette astuce mnémotechnique : adv ice est un nom, tout comme ice, tandis que adv ise est un verbe, tout comme is.

6. Lose ou Loose

Devez-vous employer lose (perdre) ou loose (lâche, en vrac, libre) pour savoir si une équipe a perdu la finale ? Lorsque vous perdez 10 kg, faut-il employer lose ou loose pour définir l'état de vos pantalons ? Et d'ailleurs, est-ce bien important ? Eh bien, oui - cet innocent petit " o " en plus fait toute la différence. Imaginez que ces deux mots commencent une course en même temps et qu'à un moment donné, l oo se perde un " o " pour devenir l o se peut-être à cause d'un élan ( a moose) en liberté ( on the loose) ?

7. Diarrhoea

Waouh, rien qu'en l'épelant, ce mot a le pouvoir de vous faire sentir mal. Ce n'est peut-être pas un mot que vous utilisez tous les jours, mais il est utile de le connaître et voici un moyen facile d'en mémoriser l'orthographe (doublé d'une image mentale bien peu poétique) : d ash i n a r eal r eal h urry, o r e lse a ccident! (courir très très vite pour éviter l'accident). Pour gagner du temps - étant donné la nature de la question qui nous préoccupe - vous pouvez opter pour l'orthographe américaine : diarrhea).

8. Disinterested ou Uninterested

Deux autres mots faciles à confondre. Uninterested signifie ne pas être intéressé par quelque chose, tandis que disinterested signifie ne pas prendre parti dans un conflit - idéalement, comme le ferait un bon juge ! Pour mémoriser la différence, pensez à l'avocat mettant en garde ses clients avant de passer au tribunal : Don't dis respect the judge. She's dis interested (ne manquez pas de respect à la juge, elle est désintéressée).

9. Choisir " IE " ou " EI "

Autrefois, on disait aux étudiants que le " i " va toujours avant le " e ", sauf après un " c ". C'est plutôt simple, non ? Eh bien non, car, malheureusement, bon nombre de mots ne suivent pas cette règle. Donc, maintenant, il est préférable de se rappeler que le " i " va avant le " e ", sauf après un " c " ou lorsque l'on entend le son " ei ", comme dans neighbor et weigh (mais aussi pour le mot weird (bizarre), ce qui est vraiment bizarre !) Voilà qui couvre à peu près ces sournoises exceptions !

10. Every day ou Everyday

Everyday est un adjectif qui signifie commun ou ordinaire ( Everyday people don't dress head to toe in Gucci (les gens ordinaires ne s'habillent pas en Gucci de la tête aux pieds)). Every day fait référence à une action qui se déroule tous les jours ( I drink three strong coffees every day (je bois trois cafés forts tous les jours)). Pour ajouter à la confusion, les tâches que vous effectuez chaque jour ( every day) sont des tâches de tous les jours ( everyday). Le mal de tête vous a déjà gagné ? Il ne faut pas - il existe un moyen simple de distinguer les deux : si every day peut être remplacé par each day dans votre phrase, c'est donc pour every day qu'il vous faut opter !

One of the best ways to develop your English fluency is to learn well-known expressions. Binomial expressions are common English phrases that include a pair of words usually joined by " and" or " or" (e.g. black and white, plain and simple, more or less). The order of the words is usually fixed, and they are a single chunk of English vocabulary.

Binomial expressions (also known as "binomials" or "binomial pairs") are regularly used by native English speakers because they are often catchy and easy to remember.

There's an amazing variety of interesting and amusing expressions in the English language. Most are known by native speakers, but these English expressions are not commonly used in English coursebooks.

Develop your English vocabulary with these catchy expressions to sound like a native speaker. Just remember that these are generally informal expressions and more common in social situations.

Types of binomial expressions

Most binomials use "and" or "or" and there are common types of English binomial expressions, which include:

* Opposites (antonyms)

Opposite pairs of words create several common English phrases (e.g. hot and cold).

* Synonyms

Pair of words with the same or a similar meaning make up other memorable English phrases (e.g. peace and quiet).

* Rhyming or similar sounding words

Some binomial pairs use words that rhyme or sound similar (e.g. meet and greet).

* Repetition

There are pairs of words that use the same word twice (e.g. again and again).

* Alliteration

Some expressions use words that start with the same letter(s) (e.g. tried and tested).

30 tried and tested binomial English expressions

Here are 30 binomial expressions that are great for developing English fluency and to sound more like a native English speaker.

Sometimes we meet people we don't like - "bad" people! Let's take a look at some negative words to describe someone you don't like.

1. Negative Adjectives for Selfish People

Tony believes he's more important than everyone else.

This is how he sees himself:

He thinks he's more important than you:

Arrogant - He thinks he's the best.
Big-headed - The same as "arrogant."
Self-centred - The world has to revolve around him!
Vain - He loves looking at himself in the mirror.
Boastful - He always talks about how brilliant he is and all the amazing things he does.
Pompous - Like "arrogant" but in a way that makes him look foolish, like this guy:

He tries to make you feel small:

He doesn't care how you feel:

He's aggressive:

Confrontational - He tries to challenge you, even when it's not necessary.
Defensive - He behaves as if you're attacking him, even if you aren't.
Hostile - He behaves like your enemy.
Belligerent - He's aggressive and hostile.
Bitchy - He makes small, sarcastic comments about you. They seem small, but they're designed to hurt you.
Nasty - He's not nice.
Bossy - He likes telling you what to do - like a boss.
Cruel - He actually enjoys seeing other people in pain and sometimes creates that pain.
Domineering - He likes to have control over everyone in every situation.

So yeah. Tony's not a nice guy.

2. Negative Adjectives for Difficult People

This is Amber, and she has a very negative personality.

You can't trust her:

Deceitful - She pretends to be your friend, then she'll stab you in the back (do something bad to you after you've started trusting her).
Dishonest - She's not honest.
Machiavellian - She intelligently uses different people against each other to get what she wants.
Sneaky - She does things that you don't know about that affect you negatively.
Untrustworthy - You can't trust her. She lies!

She hates change:

Dogmatic - She has strong beliefs and doesn't accept any view outside those beliefs.
Inflexible - When she's made plans, NOTHING can change them.
Intolerant - She doesn't like certain types of people and will never accept them. Sometimes this can be extreme, like racism, sexism or homophobia.
Narrow-minded - She has a small view of the world and doesn't accept ideas outside that view.
Stubborn - You will never be able to change her opinion on anything.
Obstinate - Like "stubborn," but a little stronger.
Pig-headed - Like "obstinate." But with a pig.
Fussy - She likes everything to be a certain way. If there's a change, she gets very upset or angry.

She's difficult to work with:

Indiscreet - Sometimes you don't want somebody shouting your bank balance out across a crowded office. Or you don't want someone to walk in the room with a bottle of whiskey when your Saudi client is visiting. But Amber will do these things.
Tactless - It's like "indiscreet" but with words. It means she sometimes says something stupid that might hurt someone, usually without realising it.
Unpredictable - You don't know what she's going to do next!
Vague - She doesn't explain things clearly.
Impatient - If she has to wait too long for anything, she gets angry. Maybe she'll walk away.
Unreliable - If she tells you that she's going to meet you at 7 o'clock, she probably won't. You can't trust her to keep her promises.

She behaves badly in relationships:

Oh ... I'm so glad we've finished with those two terrible people.

Let's never talk about them again. Deal?

OK. Time to find some less harmful characters.

3. Negative Adjectives for Lazy People

Andy is your stereotypical lazy guy. He doesn't work. He doesn't help around the house.

He also doesn't have any strong opinions and has a weak personality.

He's lazy:

He's weak:

Cowardly - He's afraid of everything.
Foolish - He doesn't have the brains to make the right decisions - so he makes bad decisions.
Gullible - If you told him that you'd just been invited to Tom Cruise's space station party on the moon, he'd believe you.
Indecisive - He finds it difficult to make decisions - so he often sticks with "no decision."
Weak-willed - You can easily convince him to do what he doesn't want to do. He's also probably addicted to something (alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, cheese - something).

4. Negative Adjectives for Emotional People

Finally, we have Sibel.

There are two bad sides to Sibel. On the one hand, she hates sharing or giving anything away, and on the other, she's difficult to be around.

She's always in a bad mood:

Quick-tempered - She gets angry very easily.
Grumpy - She's always in a bad mood and doesn't want to speak with you.
Moody - Her moods are unpredictable. Sometimes she seems fine, and then suddenly she's in a bad mood.
Pessimistic - She always sees the negative side of things.
Sullen - Like "grumpy."
Touchy - You can make her angry or upset very easily.

She's annoying:

Overemotional - When she's unhappy or angry, she's very unhappy or very angry.
Clingy - She wants to be with you all the time, and you just can't lose her. - unless you run away really fast when she's not looking.
Finicky - She's very fussy and wants everything to be the way she wants. She gets upset if you do something the "wrong" way.
Silly - She's not serious and can behave a bit like a child sometimes.
Vulgar - She's not sophisticated. Her jokes are often sexual and rude.

So there we have it: 66 negative personality adjectives to describe bad people - or yourself (but hopefully not!). Let's hope we never meet any of those people ever again!

Was that too much negativity? Check out these 59 adjectives to describe your favourite friends.

Audio books are a great way to enjoy and share literature. Project Gutenberg no longer adds new audio books to the collection, and suggests these audio book resources. These audio books are all freely available and in the public domain in the US. They may be easily played back on computers, tablets, mobile phones, and other devices. They may be shared non-commercially, without limitation except in countries where the printed source is still copyrighted. All of the sources listed below are digitizations of texts from Project Gutenberg.

Project Gutenberg's human-read audio books. 662 titles read by people, sometimes with sound effects or other enhancements. These are from a few different contributors.

Project Gutenberg's computer-generated audio books. 386 titles from 2003, using text-to-speech automation. These are listenable but relatively low quality compared to today's technology.

Human-read audio books from LibriVox. LibriVox is a volunteer community that produces high-quality performances that are done by many different volunteers. Follow the link to find audio books, and also to help create new audio books.

The Project Gutenberg Open Audiobook Collection. Almost 5,000 titles from 2023, via a Project Gutenberg collaboration with Microsoft and MIT. These use neural text-to-speech technology for more natural-sounding computer-generated audio books. These audio books are also available on major music/podcast platforms as well as The Internet Archive. Project Gutenberg and partners were recognized by TIME for this work in their Best Inventions of 2023.
