Some changes that Scottish English has in comparation with the standard one are:
- Scots have their own way of putting or contracting words together because an example of this is that in standard English "I haven't heard" is the contraction of "I have not heard" but in Scotland the structure is totally different "I've not heard"
- Also change how they use the possessive pronouns, because instead of saying "Last night, my brother and I were by ourselves" they say "... were our two selves"
- The last difference from this post is how Scottish write certain verb structures. They remove the infinitive form in sentences like in " It need to be booked" the sentences becomes "It needs booked" so, the construction passes form passive infinitive with an auxiliary verb to past participle with an auxiliary verb.
