Noun endings in ENGLISH - (terminaciones de sustantivos en inglés)
By knowing
typical endings of words that identify nouns, adjectives,
or adverbs, students can improve their vocabulary quickly and
easily. This will also greatly improve reading comprehension. If you are
reading, and come across a word that you don't know, follow these steps:
- try to identify the part of
speech (noun, adjective, adverb, verb, preposition, conjunction,
pronoun, or interjection).
- look at the root for
similarities to known words.
- if possible, try to determine if
the word is adding something positive or negative to the sentence.
- don't forget about your native
language since English and may other languages share Greek and Latin
roots.
- look at the prefix for added
meaning (I will cover this in a future article).
- use context clues to aid in
comprehension.

SAY vs TELL
THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN "SAY" AND "TELL" EVEN THOUGH THEIR MEANINGS ARE QUITE SIMILAR. The main meaning of tell is to "say or write something to someone." The main meaning of say is to "use your voice to express something in words." However, there are some clear and easy rules to follow about when to use these two words.
THIS IS A CHART WHERE THE USAGE OF BOTH WORDS IS EXPLAINED IN SUMMARY
Usage rules for Tell and Say
Tell is used only to instruct or inform, and when the receiver of the information is included as an object of the verb. Do not use for quotes.
- Has she told you the good news, yet?
- Please tell us your name and occupation.
- The police officer told him to stop. [NOT The police offer told him, "Stop."]
- Can you tell me what happened?

Difference in meaning between EXPLANATION and EXPLICATION
Always use "explanation" UNLESS you are
defending a philosophical or scientific thesis. "Explication" is a
word in the specialized language of philosophy and the sciences. You would
"explicate" your interpretation of Kantian philosophy or "string
theory" physics by giving a detailed lengthy defense of your thesis.
Explication is explanation of the abstract, the abstruse. Nowadays
"explication" is creeping into general vocabulary by people who want
to sound "intellectual" though they probably are clueless. Stay with "explanation."
