Iโm happy to present the twelfth title in my series of e-books designed for English language learners (and everyone who enjoys a good short story). This one contains a non-fiction story โMy Herbariumโ by Anne Wales Abbot (1808-1908), originally published in her collection of prose and poetry works entitled "Autumn Leaves."
In her poem โSeptemberโ, the American poet Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885) celebrates the gorgeous month that provides us with the best of two seasons.
A verb pattern is a grammatical structure that follows a verb in a sentence. In English, there are several different verb patterns, and in this grammar post we'll focus on two of the most common ones: verb + gerund and verb + infinitive. The post includes an online grammar quiz and additional resources.
Here's a question I often get during the summer months: what's the difference in meaning between the words coast, shore, beach, and bank? I admit, it can be confusing, but I hope this post will help out a bit.
