The use of quotes, aphorisms and beautiful expressions in English makes the speech lively and bright. The main rule is not to abuse them. You don’t want it to turn out to be oil?! We also invite you to visit our

Learn to speak English competently and with feeling.Practice what you've learned on the NES – live, love and rejoice!

- How quickly you got to us! It seems you live a little far from here?
- Itook a taxi .

Correct combination of words.

- I am so glad to see you! What an unexpected meeting!
– I didn’t expect it myself. Justtook the plane and flew to you.

Wrong combination of words.

Well, we Russians don’t say that. Got on the plane, bought a plane ticket, but not took the plane. We will, of course, understand the meaning of the expression, but the unnatural combination will “hurt the ear.”

The English language has the same principle: some words go together, others don’t.

quick food – fast food

a fast shower – a quick shower

Hence our advice: study not only individual words, but also popular common expressions in the English language.

Even when you learn a single word, immediately look for the context in which it can and should be used (you will find it in dictionaries). We will dedicate this topic to the best way to learn new words. And today we are talking about phrases.

Dictionary of English Expressions

Phew, that's quite an impressive list, isn't it? to learn these expressions through interactive training.

But that is not all. Let's move on to the promised dictionaries. Oxford Collocations Dictionary– an amazing dictionary of fixed expressions in the English language. It works like this: you open the word you are currently learning and look at lists of words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, collective words, etc.) that go with it.

There is another source where you can find the context of a word - these are English-English online dictionaries: Cambridge Dictionary, Oxford Dictionary, Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries. You type a word into the search bar and find a bunch of examples of use next to its meaning. It is immediately clear which independent and auxiliary parts of speech are used together with it.

1. Learn not only individual words, but also common phrases that native speakers use. Learn and perceive them together as a whole.
2. To search for them, use a special dictionary with set expressions or look at the context in which the word is used in English-English dictionaries. You need to do this with every new word you learn!
3. When you read texts / watch films / listen to songs in English, also write down the combinations of words that you hear there.
4. You can learn fixed expressions in English in different ways: by topic (food, time, business, etc.) or by keyword (as in our article). If it is more convenient for your memory to remember by topic, take our examples and divide them into thematic groups.
5. If you are writing a text or composing a story in English on some topic, then look for English-language articles on this topic. Look at what expressions are used there (most often, they will be the same). If you find it, feel free to use it: this is exactly how native speakers talk about this topic.

: We have a huge amount of authentic materials in English, from which you can take set expressions, and then run them in training. 🙂

To understand a person, learn to think like him. This axiom also applies to the study of foreign languages. To learn phrases in English easily, you need to understand how a native speaker perceives them.

Direct translation of phrases into Russian is very useful. Some of them will sound strange or even funny, but this will be a good guide to understanding the mentality of foreigners. In addition, it is worth considering whether our phrases sound strange to the English ear.

When learning the first phrases in English, you need to pay attention to the special role of the verb be. We recommend starting with nominal constructions with personal and possessive pronouns:

I(personal pronoun) am a learner. I am a disciple (literal translation). I am a student (normal translation). A literal translation shows how a native speaker thinks. Normal - as we think.

Let's see how a native speaker will literally translate the phrase “I am a teacher.” He will say: “ I teacher”, which will seem very strange to him, but if he thinks about it, he will understand that this is exactly what Russians think, and therefore it will become much easier for him to learn our language.

If we want to find basic phrases in English and remember them, we need to look for them in the spoken language used for communication. The likelihood that you will meet someone today is very high, so you will have to acquire phrases for greeting. Don't forget that if you're staying in a hotel or on a school or college campus, you'll have to say hello every time you meet someone.

A universal dialogue used by almost all native speakers (with some variations it looks like this):

• - Hello (hi)! Hello hi)!
• - How are you (doing)? How are you
• - I’m fine (good, great, nice). Thanks (thank you)! And you? I'm fine (great, great). Thank you! What about you (you)?
• - I’m fine (good, perfect) too. I'm doing well (excellent) too. Thank you! Thank you!

On our website you will find phrases in English with translation, used in various life situations. For example, in a dating situation, the following phrases will be useful to you:

• - Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you (you).
• - Nice to meet you, too. I am also pleased to meet you.

When looking for a road in an unfamiliar town, phrases will be useful.

How can I get to the Lincoln Memorial? How do I get to the Lincoln Memorial.

Over time, it will be useful to learn to use so-called polite questions. In them, the word order, unlike simple variants, does not change.

Could you tell me how I can get to the Lincoln Memorial? Can you tell me how to get to the Lincoln Memorial?

The English language is large and diverse, and the basic phrases in English for communication can only be listed in a phrasebook for tourists. It is useful for a beginning student to understand that an English sentence has a certain word order and build on this.

A popular character among teachers is named Mr. Spom. This “surname” was formed from the first letters of words denoting the basic word order in an English affirmative (and negative) sentence:

Subject + Predicate + Object + Modifier (Subject + Predicate + Object + Circumstance)

We substitute the necessary words and get a sample of a simple English phrase:

Jack (subject) built (predicate) his beautiful house (object) in 2004 (modifier). Mister Spom in all his glory! Sometimes an adverbial or complement may be absent, but the presence of a subject and predicate can almost always be detected (if it is absent in colloquial speech, then it is implied). Got home at last. (I) got home, finally.

By using everyday affirmative and negative English phrases correctly, you will always feel the invisible presence of “Mr. Spom”, and when translating into Russian, it is best to adjust the word order to his rules:

I am going to visit my granny in the evening. I'm going to visit my grandmother in the evening.

I will leave to Moscow at 7 pm. At seven in the evening I leave for Moscow.

Making interrogative sentences out of these sentences is as easy as shelling pears. Bring the auxiliary verbs (am and will) forward and add question marks.
