Prepositions play a large part in the structure of the English language and, although “prepositions” seems an easy topic at first glance, it causes much difficulty to the ESL/EFL learners. I find this topic extremely difficult (maybe I should say confusing) because there is no logical reason why one preposition is right in a certain context while another is wrong. Take a look at the examples below:
Plural of compound nouns
There are cases when just adding –s to form the plural of a noun doesn’t work. That’s because the noun is a compound noun formed by two or more words. A classic example is brother-in-law. Where will the –s should be added to form the plural?
Plosives in English language
Plosives are also known as stops (or oral occlusives). They are consonant sounds that when produced the vocal tract is blocked so that all airflow ceases.
Pitch possibilities in the simple tone-units
Two important things have to be known: tone is carried by the tonic syllable and intonation is carried by the tone-unit. These two things are going to be analyzed in this article.
