À propos de cet e-book
Drawing on decades of language teaching experience and studying examples of everyday language the way it’s actually used, Hugh Dellar and Andrew Walkley have selected the 50 most frequently asked questions about English from their popular interactive Facebook group, English Questions Answered. If you’ve ever asked questions like these:
• What’s the difference between I like to dance and I like dancing?”
• Should it be I study at school or I study in school?
• What’s the difference between large and big?”
• Is it true that we can’t use the present perfect continuous in the negative?
then this book is for you. You’ll find more than answers to the questions—you’ll get a discussion of why the issue matters (if it does!) and how apply your new understanding of the structures in question to similar topics. Each lesson concludes with a summary called What I’d Tell My Students, which offers a succinct answer to the question if it comes up in class, exactly the way Hugh and Andrew would answer it.
