English with Himzy - Learn English in an iconic way!

Hey Amigos! Today, I have brought a very interesting topic for all of you. Have you ever thought - Why do we always write or speak 'He is ' and not 'He are' That's because of an important concept of Grammar that states that the Verb of the sentence has to agree according to the Subject of the Sentence. This is the basic rule. I will lift the veil from the other rules of this topic in my next post. Stay tuned. Happy Learning!

  Hey Amigos !  Welcome back to my blog. People often ask me how they can improve their speaking skills. I think the same question will be in the mind of many of you all as well. First of all, understand that experts have rightly said 'Learning English is not a magic pill to be swallowed.' There is no substitute for hard work but only working hard will not help. As we say that we always need a correct strategy to reach our goal, so today I will apprise you of a few tips and tricks that will help you ace your speaking skills.  1- Reading :    It is rightly quoted as " Today a reader, tomorrow a leader "  by  Margaret Fuller. Reading not only helps you in improving your knowledge but it also helps you ace your lexical resource. When you read, you tend to learn many good vocabulary words which get stored in your subconscious mind. Consequently giving you the vocabulary at the right time. 2- Speak Speak Speak: Never leave your speaking habit. Always try...

  Hey Amigos!  This post of mine is going to be helpful for many, be it, school students or the ones seeking to give their IELTS exam!  'Complex sentence' is the topic that always troubles everyone. This post is the solution to that problem. Now it is very important to understand that there are two types of conjunctions: Coordinate Conjunctions Subordinate Conjunctions There are three kinds of sentences : Simple Sentence Compound Sentence Complex Sentence Simple Sentence: These are sentences that do not have any conjunctions. Compound Sentence: These are sentences that are joined by using coordinate conjunctions. Complex Sentence: These are sentences that are joined by subordinate conjunctions. Observe these sentences carefully: 1-The sun rises in the east.  (Simple Sentence ) 2-The sun was setting and we were  away  from our destination. ( Compound Sentence) 3-They serve God well who serve his creatures . ( Complex Sentence) Now whenever you are...

 Hey Amigos! August is around the corner, so are the festivities! In this post today, I will share two vocabulary words that you can always flaunt amongst your peers!  Happy Learning !!😊

 Hey Amigos! Let us learn a good vocabulary again.  As I always say " Speak English in an iconic way "! So add one more lexical resource to your dictionary. Happy Learning !!

  Hey Amigos! Here's a treat for those who love to flaunt their vocabulary in front of their friends or colleague Happy Learning!

  Hey Amigos! Have you ever thought to express your 'relaxation' to someone in an iconic way? Let me give you a good vocabulary for it.   Smooth Water (To Relax) Example Sentence After giving my exam, I am in smooth water.

Hey Amigos! In my last post, we did the usage of 'Can' and in this post, let us learn the usage of 'Could' Could is the past tense of can. It is used to talk about  the  ability that existed in the past .   In my younger days, I could run four miles at a stretch. Till last year I could read without glasses. Note: 'Could' do not only refers to the past time. It refers to the past time only according to the context.  'Could' may express possibility or uncertainty. If my brother were here, we could have solved this problem together. Note: We have used 'were' in the sentence because it is an imaginary condition that can not be fulfilled. So we use 'were' in this condition. 'Could'  is also used to ask polite questions. Could you, please, take me to the Manager? Could I have a look at your papers?

  Hey Amigos! Let us learn today the usage of another modal verb ' Can'.  Can expresses ability. Cannot (can’t) shows   inability. She can speak ten languages. I can’t cook. Can you speak Spanish? Sometimes  ' can' is used in the sense of  ' may' to give permission.   You can go .  You can take one of these shirts .

  Hey Amigos! Welcome to my blog once again. In this P art 2 , we will learn the usage of  'Shall' in our daily life. To show intention. Sentence : We shall overcome. To make polite or informal requests. Sentence: Shall I open the door for you?

  Hi Comrades! Today in this blog, I will share the correct usage of the modal verb ' Should'. People often make mistakes in using 'should'. Let us learn where can we use it.  I will definitely share more usage in my next blog! Happy learning !😊

  Hi Comrades! As I always promote speaking or writing English in an iconic way, it's time for learning new vocabulary for expressing your experience of vacations. 1-Globetrotter: When you want to talk about your love for travelling, flaunt it with the help of this word. For example, I am a globetrotter and always look for the opportunity to travel. 2- keen on broadening one's horizon:   If you are inquisitive by nature and travel to explore,  you can use this phrase. For example,  As  I am keen on broadening my horizons, I went to Rajasthan to learn about royal life. Have a happy learning! 😊

While indulging in an informal conversation,  we should try to use slang as using slang always add colours to our language. Here  I am sharing an example of how you can substitute normal words with slang. Always keep in mind that we can use slang with our friends and family only . Besides, they are used in spoken language. Have a happy learning!  😊 Ayisha : Uh, yeah. Who’s this? Bebo : It’s Bebo. Ayesha : Hang on just a second (wait a minute ), Cherlyn! Bebo’s phone’s for you. Cherlyn : Who is it? Ayesha : It’s Bebo. Cherlyn: Hey, what’s up ( slang way to say “What are you doing?”) Bebo : Nothing. Just chillin ‘ (relaxing) at home. How bout   (about )you? Cherlyn : Just hanging out. Bebo : You wanna grab a bite ( go out for food )? Cherlyn : Sure, what were you thinking? Bebo : Let’s just go out and find something.
