ENGLISH GRAMMAR

English grammar is taught at school. Higher the class, higher the standard. It is for examination purposes only. Thereafter the details are forgotten. Most people do not even remember basic grammar. 

But they know English very well and they can write and speak good English. At that stage, they concentrate only on the usage of words and the formation of sentences that become important. 

For this purpose, they resort to reading books. Only by reading books, one can improve his knowledge of English. They read every line many times to get into the usage of words and the formation of sentences. 

This is how a person learns the English Language. The more books you read, the more knowledge you get. Starting with children's books, step by step, they read books of a higher standard to reach the top. 

AMAZING ENGLISH

Did you "muscle" your way into that job? 

You might "eye" someone suspiciously, or wait for the police to "finger" a suspect. 

But if you need to get out of town, you can "thumb" a ride or you can ride with me if you can "stomach" the thought.

Use a strong "arm" tactic if you want to "elbow" out someone.

I don't always sing along with the radio, but I sometimes do "mouth" the words.
