#tipoftheday #quicktips #Englishtips📌 Punctuation in English and German isn't always the same.💡 In English, we don't use a comma before "that" (with a dependent clause).🤓 ☝ This is a common mistake because a comma is used before a dependent clause in German.😕💭 Commas are used differently in English - often, we use a comma to indicate a pause in the sentence.👍 Like my quick tips?

Is it “much thanks” or is it “many thanks”?According to the Merriam-Webster Online dictionary, “thanks” is plural, having come from the Middle English singular word “thank.” Therefore, “many thanks” is the right phrase because we use “many” with plural count nouns, and we use “much” with mass nouns. #AmiableLanguageServices #manythanks #helpingyoulearnenglish #learningenglish

Have you heard the term "𝐝𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦"?In#English, it refers to an online company that ends with ".com" but we read the punctuation as "𝐝𝐨𝐭". The same word is used for "polka dots" ("lunares", in Spanish).However, we read the same punctuation mark in other ways, too. When we use a mark to finish a sentence, we call it a "𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝". We also commonly use this word for extra emphasis and determination, like in the sentence, "You must be home at 10 p.m., period!" (in Spanish, "...y punto!") The word "𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝" is also used for a woman's time of the month.Lastly, when writing numbers, we use a "decimal 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭". We express one and a half as "1.5" (NOT with a comma after the units digit) and we read it, "one point five".Was this new for you? I'm happy to clear up your doubts about English. Send me a DM and let's get started.Now, go start your𝐝𝐨𝐭.𝐜𝐨𝐦!#fluencycoach#ingles#ESL#EFL#ELL#aprendeingles#cursoingles#ilovetoteach#makeitfun

The evolution of words is fascinating, isn't it?Take the word "cardúmenes," for example. It's Spanish for "a school of fish." Did you know "school" in Spanish is "escuela"? The literal word translation of "cardúmenes" comes from an old middle English word "shoal." Mix "shoal" with some low German "scol" for a crowd, band, or troop and in modern English, "school" comes out the other side.When working with clients, we learn to understand there is an evolution of words we all must hear and understand to create joint success. How do you evolve your vocabulary with clients? Share your thoughts in the comments below.#evolve #business #wordsmatter #wordpower PS: I was going to talk about the word sincere. Ironically, the etymology of sincere, well - is not so clear or sincere!
