English (American) Learning Tips
- In both written and spoken English some pairs of words are combined into a shorter form, called a contraction. In spoken English, if a contraction exists for a pair of words, the full forms will be used relatively infrequently (mostly for emphasis). For example, the words “it is” are often written and pronounced “it’s.”
- You’ll notice that English spelling is irregular, with the same sounds being written in different ways.
- Sometimes words may be spelled the same but have different meanings and pronunciations. Rosetta Stone teaches you to distinguish between these words through context.
- English nouns have singular and plural forms, but they don’t have masculine or feminine forms.
