Non-native-speakers realize that they

have trouble with prepositions andidioms. They go with nouns. adjectives.

past participles, and verbs, without rules

or logic. Multi-word verbs, or phrasal

verbs as they are often referred to,

present a very special problem. English

can make verb and particle (preposition

or adverb) combinations easily andfreely). Multi-word verbs exist

throughout the language. They express

everyday actions such as Turn on the

light: they can also have a variety of

meanings such as Things worked out

well. We worked out the problem. She

What are Prepositions?Prepositions are abstract words that have no concrete meaning. They merely show the relationships between groups

of words. A good way to test if a word is a preposition is to position it in front of phrases like "the box" or "the sides

of the box" and see if the phrase makes sense. For prepositions concerning time, try positioning the preposition in

front of a phrase like "the movie." (This rule works for about nine out of ten prepositions). Here are some

examples:

across the box aroundthe box on top ofthe boxunderthe box nearthe box along the sides ofthe box

Such a phrase that begins with a preposition is called a prepositional phrase. The noun that comes after a

preposition or concludes the prepositional phrase is called the object of a preposition. Here is a list of the most

common prepositions.

aboard below from outside up

above beneath in over upon

across beside(s) inside (of) past** with

after between into since*** within

against beyond like through withoutalong but* near til

among by of to

around down off (of) toward(s)

at during off under

before except on (top of) underneath

behind for out (of) until

*Butcan also function as a pure conjunction.

**Pastcan also function as a noun or an adjective.

***Since can also function as a subordinate conjunction

Should I end a sentence with a preposition?The so-called "rule" about never ending a sentence with a preposition comes from Latin grammar. In Latin, the word order of a

sentence didn't matter; subjects and verbs and direct objects could appear in any sequence. However, the placement of prepositions

was important. Latin sentences could quickly become confusing if the preposition does not appear immediately before the object of

the preposition, so it became a stylistic rule for Latin writers to have objects always and immediately following prepositions. That

meant a sentence would never end with a preposition.

When English grammarians in the 1500s and 1600s starting writing grammar books, they frequently applied Latin rules to English,

even though those rules had never been applicable before. They wanted to make English more like Latin, which had a reputation for

being logical and eloquent while English was still trying to gain acceptance as a scholarly language. One grammarian even applied

mathematical rules to English, such as the idea of a "double negative" becoming a "positive," which certainly made sense in algebra,

in a "(-2) x (-2) = +4" kind of a way, but this idea was completely new-fangled in English. English for centuries had been merrily

using double negatives and ending sentences with prepositions before that time without anyone complaining, yet now it is

grammatical law!

In the daily speech of British folk, the most common dialects still conform to this rule. The British tend to say, "To what place was

the package sent?" or "For what purpose is that machine made?" On the other hand, in many U.S. dialects, it is a common

Americanism to say, "What place was the package sent to?" or "What is that machine for?" These phrasings sound acceptable (but a

little low class) to most Americans, and it is probably permissible to go ahead and end the sentence with a preposition in informal

writing. In more formal writing, or when writing for a British audience, it might be wise to go ahead and follow the rule (even if it is

artificial). The most important tip is to avoid sentences that sound awkward or confuse the reader. An editor supposedly chastised one

writer, variously said to be Mark Twain or Winston Churchill, for ending a sentence with a preposition. The author retorted, "Ending

a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put." His retort neatly illustrates the point that slavishly following

grammatical rules can be just as devastating to good taste as breaking the rules for the sake of clarity and style. Always make the

choice that avoids the awkward sentence.

English is a quirky language. It might

not be the quirkiest, but it certainly

has its share of oddities. Take

spelling for example. One of the

strangest things about English is the

way things are spelled, which

reflects the history of each word

rather than how it's pronounced.

Playwright George Bernard Shaw

was so upset about the illogical

spelling of English words that he left

money in his will to pay for the

creation of a new alphabet (which

came out in the early 1960s, but

which never caught on). Shaw

complained that you could spell the

word 'fish' as 'GHOTI' and still be

consistent with the way other

English words are spelled, as

follows:

- The 'F' sound, as in 'tough'

- The 'I' sound, as in 'women'

- The 'SH' sound, as in 'nation'

Other eccentric spellings include:

- The only word in the English

language with a double 'i', 'skiing'.

- The only word with three pairs of

double letters in it, 'bookkeeper'.

Another crazy little spelling oddity:

- There's one English word that

changes from plural to singular

when you add an 's'. It's 'Princes'

which becomes 'Princess'.

Oddities of Pronunciation

The flip side of spelling is

pronunciation. There's a common

noun you use all the time that has a

very strange pronunciation. We all

say 'compact disk', pronouncing the

word 'compact' as if it was a noun,

as in a powder compact. If you were

looking for a compact computer, a

very small laptop for instance, you'd

pronounce it 'compact', with the

emphasis on the second syllable.

Speaking of pronunciation, here's

word that's pronounced differently

when you make the first letter a

capital:

- 'polish' or 'Polish'

Oddities of Meaning

The meanings of English words are

crazy, too.

Many English words have several

meanings, none more so than 'set',

which means (among other things):

- To put something into position

(set a table)

- To plant (set bulbs out in the

flower bed)

- To show how determined you are

(set your jaw)

- To decorate (a brooch set with

precious stones)

- To bring something into contact

with something else (set a match to

a haystack)

- To make something ready (setting

a trap)

- To adjust (set your watch)

You can set a broken bone, you can

set hair after you shampoo it, you

can set a poem to music, set sail, or

sit in front of your television set

while a jelly sets in the fridge.

Madness.

'Founder' is not quite as versatile,

but it's still impressive. Founder

means:

- To fill with water and sink

- An originator

- Someone who casts metal

Even crazier is the word 'dust', a

verb with two exactly oppositemeanings.

- You can 'dust' your table top by

shaking flour all over it

- Then dust it again by removing the

flour with a damp cloth.

- 'Sanction' and 'let' also mean their

own opposites.

Another word that has recently

acquired an opposite meaning is

'executive'.

- The non-executive director of a

company doesn't actually do any

work

- While an executive producer of a

movie or a television program

doesn't do any work either

Here's another uncomfortable

pairing of opposites. When it comes

to trees:

- First you chop them down

- Then you chop them up

Oddities of English 1


19/122

Putting 'in' in front of a word normally makes it mean

the opposite. 'Sane' and 'insane', for instance.

- But if something is 'flammable' it's easy to burn

- And if it's 'inflammable' then it's easy to burn, too

- 'Habit' and 'inhabit' are a similar couple.

While we're on the subject of the meanings of words,

why is it that:

- Goods travelling by road are called a 'shipment'

- While goods travelling by ship are known as 'cargo'?

'Street' and 'Road' are almost, but not quite,

interchangeable:

- You have road rage. But not street rage.- You can be streetwise. But not roadwise.

- You shop in your local high street. But if you can't find

anything suitable, you take the high road to a bigger

town. In the Shaw alphabet, similar consonants are

paired together.

- When you say P and B, for instance, your mouth

makes the same shape

- L and R are a similar pair (which is why Japanese and

Chinese speakers famously confuse the two sounds)- H and R form another of these pairs; Portuguese

speakers confuse them

Strangely enough there are a group of hyphenated

expressions in English that only ever start with an H, an

L or an R:

- Harum-scarum

- Hoity-toity

- La-di-da

- Rumpty-tumpty

- Roister-doister

Weird, eh?

A Punctuation Oddity

Here's a little punctuation party game you can use to

amaze your friends on a long train journey or a quiet

afternoon at work. Show them the following sentence,

and ask them to give it logical punctuation:

Gerald had had had had while arthur had had had had

had had had the teacher's approval.

Seems impossible, but once you know the trick it's

simple:

Gerald had had 'had had', while Arthur had had 'had'.

'Had had' had had the teacher's approval.'

A Grammatical Oddity

English teachers and pedants in general warn against

ending a sentence with a preposition (a word thatexpresses the relationship between nouns, pronouns

and noun phrases: 'Fish served with chips and peas'). In

fact, this is a rule borrowed from Latin, and can be

safely ignored (except when you're dealing with English

teachers and other pendants).

Here's a perfectly good sentence that ends with no

fewer than five prepositions:

- A father goes up to his son's bedroom, a book under

his arm, ready to read him to sleep. The boy notices thebook and says: 'Daddy, what did you bring that book

that I don't want to be read to out of up for?'

Other Oddities

Here are a few that don't fit in any of the above

categories:

- The word 'typewriter' can be typed using only the

keys on the top line of a qwerty keyboard.

- St John's Wood is the only London tube station that

doesn't contain one of the letters of the word

'mackerel'.

- Ask your friends if they know a five-letter word that

has five other words inside it. The answer is

'there' (the, he, her, here, ere).

Many linguists have pointed out

differences between British and

American English, differences at thelexical level are among the most

prominent and remarkable ones. Most

research on the subject focuses on

registering everyday words which are

different in British and American English

(e.g. U.K. lift vs. U.S. elevator; U.K. flat

vs. U.S. apartment). However, few

people have gone further into these

lexical differences between both

varieties in order to identify words

which exist in both varieties but with

different meanings, such as pants or

faggots. Rollings (2001) and Nicholls

(2006) deal with this topic in their

respective studies but they do not

delve deeply into it. Considering this,

the present paper aims at contributing

to this fascinating field of research by

analyzing some of the most interesting

false friends within the so-consideredmain standard varieties of English:

British and American English.

Among those intralingual false friends

which may lead to hilarious situations,

there are two words referring to

articles of clothing (pants, suspenders)

and one related to food (buns) which

are worth analysing in this section.

Pants and suspenders are two nouns

that may cause funny situations whenused in Britain since these lexical items

make reference to two different pieces

of underwear in British English. As

illustrated in Figure 1, any American

asking for pants and suspenders in

Britain would receive underpants and

straps to hold stockings up. This may

produce a quite funny situation as

represented in the cartoon on the left

in Figure 1. The American meaning of

these words is different, pants are

trousers, and suspenders are used for

holding the trousers up. The picture on

the right illustrates the American

meaning of these words.

verbing of nouns

In the beginning a noun was a noun and a

verb was a verb, but that was before the

functional shift came along. In linguistics,

the terms functional shift, category

extension, conversion and zero derivation

are all used in reference to the syntacticphenomenon that occurs when a

particular word that has long been labeled

for its use in one lexical category is

suddenly used in a different and non-

standard lexical category. Recently, a

particularly popular and much discussed

functional shift is the verbing of nouns.

HOW DO THESE VERBED

NOUNS KEEP CREEPING INTOTHE ENGLISH LEXICON?

Technology and brand namescertainly provide fodder forverbing:

John xeroxed the article for his class.

Lisa likes to microwave her lunch.

She facebooked her new boyfriend.

And the business world continually

evolves nouns:

His business experience advantages Jack

over his competition.

She journaled the conference call.

The company implements new procedures

weekly.

Please inbox the proposal to me.

We should re-intention these coffee cans

so we dont have to landfill them.

Throw in an advertising campaign here

and there too:

This is how we waterpark. (Spotted on a

billboard somewhere in the Midwest)

So, while it may initially feel unnatural

having many of these words exit the

mouth as verbs, they may one day be

commonly catagoried as such.

PARTS OF THE BODY IDIOMS

Last year my English class was full of

characters. That's a polite way of saying

it had some unusual people that I'll

never forget. One student was such a

hard worker that he learned all theidioms in our book by heart. He was

always saying things like "I'm on cloud

nine," or "I'm green with envy." We

never knew if he meant what he said or

if he was just practicing English. Another

student had a sweet tooth. She would

bake lots of breads and cakes and bring

them to every class for us to share

during breaks. Two students met in the

class and fell head over heels in love.

We were all invited to their wedding

and had a great time. Then there was a

student who was always pulling

someone's leg. For example, one daybefore class, he put a long homework

assignment on the board and made us

think that the teacher had given it. We

all had long faces until the teacher came

in. Then we realized that someone had

played a joke on us.

What a Group!

Read the story. Then discuss the questions.

Parts of the Body Idioms

MeaningsEach example has an idiom with a part or parts of the body. Read

the example carefully to find the meaning of the idiom. Then look

at the definitions that follow the examples. Write the idiom next to

its definition.

a big mouth My brother has such a big mouth. He told everything I said to

our mother.

by heart I know all my friends' telephone numbers by heart. I never have

to look in the telephone book.

to cost an arm Everything in that fancy department store costs an arm and a
