About English (British)

More than 300 million people speak English as a first language, and millions more speak it as a second language. British English is spoken, with considerable regional variation, throughout the United Kingdom.

English (British) 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.”
  • 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.
  • English nouns have singular and plural forms, but they don’t have masculine or feminine forms.
