Sw0rdD 01-08-2010, 10:54 AM السلام عليكم
كم مرة قابلك أشياء عجبت أنك لم تكن تعلم بعضها من قبل رغم أنك متبحر في علمك؟ كم مرة رأيت في قراءاتك ما هو عجيب؟ كم مرة رددنا كلام ربنا " و فوق كل ذي علم عليم؟"
رأيت إنشاء موضوع مستقل ليساهم فيه الإخوة بكل ما هو غير مشهور و غير مألوف حتي ينفع بعضنا بعضا
و ان حاز الموضوع علي إعجابكم سيكون إن شاء الله فتحة خير علي الجميع .. فبيننا غزير العلم و غزير القراءة و غزير الحماسة .. ووفقك الله الجميع.
قد يكون قد تم تقديم أشياء مماثلة في مواضيع متناثرة في المنتدي.. لكنكم قد توافقونني الرأي بأن وجود ذلك في مكان واحد سيكون افضل للكل.
سأبدأ بأمثلة و في انتظار تفاعلكم بأشياء مشابهه:
طبعا الجميع يعلم الجمع: حرف y يتحول إلي ies و يبقي كما هو إذا سبقه vowel مثل ways
لكن:
ماذا عن proper names: بمعني: ماهو جمع February ?
و ماهو جمع Kennedy إذا أحببت أن تقول عائلة Kennedy و أحببت أن تضيف إليها The
عن نفسي صادفت ذلك البارحة فقط:
February في الجمع تصبح Februarys
مثال:
I hate Februarys
جمع Kennedy هو Kennedys
مثال:
Do you know the Kennedys
حياكم الله و في إنتظار مجهوداتكم
ولا تنسونا في صالح دعائكم

Sw0rdD 01-08-2010, 11:02 AM الجمع بإضافة apostrophe ثم s
طبعا جميعنا يعرف الجمع بإضافة s لكن هل نعرف أن هناك جمع بإضافة apostrophe ثم s
جمع letters of alphabet يتم بهذه الطريقة:
مثال:.
She spelt 'necessary' with two c's.
أما جمع السنوات و الإختصارات فله طريقتان:
I loved the 1960's. (OR ... the 1960s.)
Do you think MP's do a good job? (OR ... MPs ...)

I totally agree with you Mr Sw0rdD
May Allah bless you
But What about the title of this song
Don`t do the crime
Is that a slang or a colloquial language ?Really I `m not sure
Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGcdrq8MQdA
ابراهيم موسى 13-08-2010, 04:37 PM You Do The Crime, You Serve The Time
Also ,We can look at the following Blog which has a research entitled :
You Do The Crime, You Serve The Time
http://brainblogger.com/2007/12/27/you-do-the-crime-you-serve-the-time/
But there is a connection between Crime and Time in these titles
http://gigaom.com/2010/04/14/predictive-analysis-ibm/
We must find about that !! Thank you a gain Mr Sw0rdD ,you are a genius teacher
We should have a look at the following Pdf file from California State Sheriffs`association :)

It could be either. One thing I am sure of : It is not correct English as the dictionary stated clearly. I worked for one full year with an Irish school manager and I found her English full of common mistakes. Besides, Many songs find pleasure in breaking the rules
It is very common in movies and songs to find things like: I didn't do nothing

I went through the pdf file at a glance, and found "do the crime" in quotes
The quote goes like this: 'If you don't do the time, don't do the crime'
as if it is a slang. This doesn't make it right. I am often reminded by MacDonald's slogan: I'm loving it. This could be found in commercials, magazine ads, etc, but that doesn't make it right.
I posted the dictionary entry together with the workbook page number on Longmansec site, but haven't got a response yet. However, I found it interesting discussing this with you.
Sw0rdD 15-08-2010, 01:22 PM Made with
Guess we all know about the difference between "made of", "made from", made in" and "made by" but the workbook presented additional made with
This is in Unit 6 page 33, ex 4

It's vey common to use the preposition 'on' with the word 'island'. But many will find the following piece of information interesting
http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/7129/inanisland.png
Sw0rdD 31-08-2010, 12:34 AM Here is another problematic area
North vs. Northern
This is very confusing. However, it is mentioned in unit 9 3rd secondary. I posted this so that it may arouse further discussion
http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/7180/northern.png
If anyone has any clearer difference, plz explain
