(A)Lphabet!!!!!!


Hi guys!!!! Without going into any formal pleasantries, I'll directly jump to the formal article this time. The reason is that I thought,it's better to carry on the pattern of the last article and take onto a new one in the next one. So, I promise you all to propose you a new(innovative) pattern from the very next time. For now, just read this, gulp it down and yeah...Enjoy!!!

ADVERSE--(Unfavourable or hostile)
Ex.John received an adverse report from his boss.
AVERSE--(unwilling to do a thing)
Ex.I am averse to drinking.// Don't mind but it's from my side....Eeeeee....:)

Oh come on, it's okay yaar....Getting bored? okay, let's discuss it informally. Each and every single person commits mistakes and only a few of them confess their guilt but many admit it. What??? Confused??? Just a minute. Okay, listen, when you're saying that you're admitting your mistake, that simply means that you accept that it was your mistake but it does not necessarily show that you're ashamed of doing that. On the other side, if you're saying that you're confessing your guilt, it simply means that you're having an emotional feeling towards whatever you've done and you're not only accepting it but also feeling guilty for it. So that was the difference between ADMIT and CONFESS.
ADMIT--(to accept)
Ex.I admit my mistake.
Ex.He was admitted to the college.
CONFESS--(to acknowledge something as wrong)
Ex.The culprit confessed his guilt.

A couple of words that often confuses many of us is ADVERT and AVERT. So, let's have a look at them as well.....
ADVERT--(refer to in speech or writing)
Ex.In his series of lectures, he adverted to the problem of poverty.
AVERT--(prevent)
Ex.If we follow the traffic rules, many accidents can be averted.

See how easy those words were that confused us a lot. Let's have a look at another pair of words that is just awesome, and mind you, when I'm saying it's awesome, then it really is!!!!!! The pair is AFFECT and EFFECT. Loving it??? well, you'll love it  more once you're done with the concepts. Actually, EFFECT is used when we are talking about the consequences but AFFECT is the verb form of it, or say it means 'to influence'. Let's have a look at it formally...
AFFECT--(to influence, to induce(verb))
Ex.This will affect your career.
EFFECT--(n-consequence,v-to produce)
Ex.The bad effect of movies.

Now, I think you're loving this pair, aren't you? You'll love a few more that I'm introducing below...

AFFECTATION--(pretence, artificially of manner)
Ex.She didn't talk naturally. It was her affectation.
AFFECTION--(love, affinity, attachment)
Ex.Every mother has great affection for her children.
Let me add one more to it--I have a great affection for my sweetheart!!!

ALE--(wine, brew)
Ex.He has fallen in bad company and used to drink so much of ale at his own cost.
AIL--(ill, to)
Ex.What can possibly ail him? He is so despirited.

I hope you enjoyed this article as well and to remind you, I made a promise to come up with more 'A' lettered words and I did that. Well, that's not it, there's a lot to come....Be ready to enjoy with the tools of English grammar, till the next article...
Good Bye....
Take care!!!!!!!

The lovely letter 'A'


I love to write and I love the letter 'A'. Now, what if both of them comes together? Then I'll say, I'm in a very very hardcore lust with this. So here I am with the very first blog of mine on English reading, speaking, listening, writing(in short--English Freaking) with the motivation from my loveliest friend. Enjoy this informatory article on some  commonly confused words and I'm sure you'll love it. Once again, I love you, 'A'.

The very first word that I would like to tell about is ABLE as I've been ABLE of writing and I've been CAPABLE of writing this article on english. Did you notice what I just did there? Yes,  that's the difference between ABLE and CAPABLE. Now, study it formally--
ABLE(Power or strength in general):--Ex. He is ABLE to play.
CAPABLE(Power or strength in particular):--Ex. He is CAPABLE of running for 2 hours continuously.
Liked it??? let's look at some more lovely A's.

"How abnormal you are? Are you an alien?" That's how she makes fun of me. Once when I was reading a newspaper, I happened to read a news that said,'Woman gave birth to a subnormal child." So, I think, all these words are differentiable instead of not being continuous at any point. Sorry for the bad joke but those who know me surely know that me saying sorry is really a joke.
ABNORMAL(departure from regular type):--Ex. He exhibited a very ABNORMAL behaviour at the party.
SUBNORMAL(below normal):--Ex. She gave birth to a SUBNORMAL child.

Now, to accept your mistake is a good thing but to except it is the biggest mistake you can do in your life. Let's see how...
ACCEPT(approve):--Ex. I ACCEPT your offer.
EXCEPT(besides):--Ex. EXCEPT you all were present.

One more similar word-pair is---
ACCESS(approach):--Ex. I have no ACCESS to the Minister.
EXCESS(too much):--Ex. EXCESS of everything is bad.

Enjoying this aticle or not??? Oh come on...I know you definitely are, afterall she is my Accessary for all my works. Just a minute....what? I misspelt a word???? Are you mad???? I don't do that. Then, what the hell is Accessary? To get the meaning of a word in the very best way is to get it from the context in which it was used. Just have a reread of the above statement....still can't get it? Ok, study it formally then...
ACCESSARY(a helper or associate):--He was the ACCESSARY to the murder.
ACCESSORY(sparepart, additional):--Please purchase the accessories for your beautiful scooty pep+, sweetheart!!!

Well, don't mind the last statement much, ok....just love it, that's all I'll say. I hope you enjoyed this article. It'll be my immense pleasure if you have any queries and you want to share(or discuss for that matter) with me. You can simply put on a comment here or mail me at neeru.133@rediff.com. At last, I'll just say that this love and lust is not yet ended. Yup....you guessed it right....I'll come up with more amazing 'A' lettered words.
