82. If English Is Not Your First Language A large section of Concise ESL Support relates to verbs and verb usage. It is no accident that most grammar books begin with verbs! http://www.athabascau.ca/courses/engl/155/support/if_english_is_not_your_first_l

If English is not Your First Language When you learn another language, it is necessary to learn the rules of that language, the grammar, and how the words can be put together to make meaningful sentences. If English is your first language you learn about parts of speech and clauses in school. This grammar helps you to understand how to use the language to write well and use punctuation correctly. Non-native speakers, however, must contend with learning verb tenses and verb forms; when to use an infinitive construction as opposed to a gerund; where to place an adjective, and the order of adjectives when using more than one; and word order which is very important in English, etc. etc. These aspects of language are ones that native speakers do automatically; they never have to think about them. From sentences we construct paragraphs and essays, but even these structures or patterns vary from culture to culture. In English, when we want to write something, we start at the beginning, write an introduction, give explanations, examples, reasons, and finish at the end with a conclusion. Students learn to order their thoughts in this way from an early age and it seems the logical way to go about it. Other languages may do things differently, however, and students need to learn this new pattern. Another problem for non-native speakers of English is the very large vocabulary needed. English has the world’s largest vocabulary, a result of English being an inclusive language that has borrowed words from many other languages and also because it has its origin in two different language sources, Anglo-Saxon and French. For this reason there are often comparable words in English from each language e.g. smell and odour, dead and deceased.

89. Tip On Conjugation Tips For Teaching grammar. Conjugations of the English Verb. To conjugate a verbmeans to make The formula for simple type tense is verb + tense form. http://ateg.org/grammar/tips/t12.htm

Tips For Teaching Grammar Conjugations of the English Verb To conjugate a verb means to make a systematic list of all of its various forms. We use different forms of the same verb in situations like the change from count to counts to counted , and so on. There are two general areas in which conjugation occurs; for person and for tense . Conjugation for person occurs when the verb changes form, depending on whether it is governed by a first, second, or third person subject. This gives three conjugations for any verb depending on who is acting as the subject of the verb. For example, we have I count, you count , and he counts. Note that only the third conjunction really shows a difference. In addition to the above, we can have the same three persons in the plural form. While most English verbs simply do not show extensive conjugation forms for person, an exception is the verb to be. "To be" is conjugated for person as follows: to be past present future First Person was am will be Second Person were are will be Third Person was is will be First Person Plural were are will be Second Person Plural were are will be Third Person Plural were are will be In addition to person , conjugations for tense are significant for all verbs. All conjugations start with the infinitive form of the verb. The infinitive is simply the

This is OK for your first essay, but will affect your "Sprache" grade if it recurs on subsequent essays. Please consult your instructor if you're unable to find or implement the information on typing umlaute. 3. This marks passages that sounded like you were translating from English to German . This is often a lot more work than just coming up with an essay in German, and yet generally produces substantially lower grades, because what you write becomes very hard to understand. Students are often intimidated by the prospect of trying to "think in German," but you absolutely have to do that to write a good essay, and it's easier than you think. For a procedure you can use to start doing this step-by-step, by using the German you've learned as sort of a construction kit, beginning with really basic phrases and then expanding and connecting them using what you've learned about e.g. adjectives, conjunctions and prepositions, refer to: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/german/hmr/schreiben/schreibstrategien.html 4.
