I HAD PROBLEMS WITH PREPOSITIONS TOO (Part 3) In Part 1 of this post, I shared (gave you) some information about prepositions in English 👉 https://lnkd.in/dkEpD3vu In Part 2, I talked about one use of the preposition IN 👉 https://lnkd.in/drfX4yHu In this post, I want to talk about one use of the preposition AT to show where someone (a person) or something is or does something. Do you remember my question from my last post? ❓What do you think? Do I say, “I will meet you IN the park,” or “I will meet you AT the park.”? Both “I will meet you IN the park” and “I will meet you AT the park” are correct. ✔️ But, when I use AT, what I say is different from what I say when I use IN in this sentence. *️⃣ When I use AT, I show I am in an exact* place or location. ––––––––– *This place and no other place.  ––––––––– “I will meet you AT the park.” ➡️ I will meet you where the park is, not AT the bank, hospital, school, etc. I can also say, “I will meet you AT the park where the entrance* to the park is.” ––––––––– *The part of the park you use to go inside the park. ––––––––– Other examples: 📝 Emma studies AT the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. ⬇️ Emma studies AT the University of Alberta and not, for example, the University of British Columbia or the Alberta College of Pharmacy. 📝 Eloise is AT the store now. She is buying some milk. ⬇️ Eloise is AT the store now, not AT home, the library, the park, etc. She is AT the store buying some milk. Do you have questions? I would love to see them in the comments. //¿Te animás a escribir cualquier pregunta que tengas en los comentarios?

Good opportunity

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH PREPOSITIONS TOO (Part 1) Learning to speak good English takes a lot of work (it is hard). One part I always had problems with was the PREPOSITIONS. A PREPOSITION in English is a word before a noun or a pronoun that indicates (it shows) a place, direction (where we are going or traveling), time, etc. For example, 📝 “Anne put the house’s keys IN her purse*.” ––––––––– *A small bag, especially for women, that they use to put their wallets, house or car keys, etc. ––––––––– 📝 “There are many books ON the table.” 📝 “John loves studying AT a café near his place.” I use IN, ON, and AT in these sentences to show the PLACE where 1️⃣ Anne put her keys, 2️⃣ there are many books, and 3️⃣ John loves studying. Can you think of any other examples? Please leave them in the comments. /// ¿Te animás a armar ejemplos y a escribirlos en los comentarios?

"Just as the old adage goes: 'it takes a whole village to raise a child,' it is now time for teachers who teach adolescents to adopt the mindset that it takes all discipline teachers to teach literacy to students. In response to this new paradigm shift in literacy teaching, this paper has introduced a set of instructional practices that are both research grounded and experience based for content teachers to integrate disciplinary literacy to enhance adolescent ELL students’ vocabulary development and reading comprehension within the disciplines."

JUST AS RECEIVED GRAMMAR GAFFES AND THEIR CORRECTIONS (Part 2) Jolly evening, friends. I hope you had a fantastic day. Prepositions can be quite tricky and confusing for English learners. Even at the advanced level, learners are always very mindful of them because inappropriate use of a preposition can change the intended meaning of a sentence. Prepositions are tiny words but slippery. Let's take a gander at the following expressions. 1. Be AT alert for anyone acting suspiciously. ❌ Be ON THE alert for anyone acting suspiciously. ✅ To be on the alert means to be ready to notice and deal with a situation or problem. 2. Mrs Olasunmibo is TAKING us ON English.❌ Mrs Olasunmibo is TAKING us FOR English. ✅ To take somebody FOR something means to TEACH. 3. I am not IN the church committee. ❌ I am not ON the church committee. ✅ A small group of people chosen to represent a larger organization and make decisions or collect information for it sit/serve on a committee. 4. She lamented ABOUT the loss of her best friend. ❌ She lamented OVER the loss of her best friend.✅ We use 'lament over' as a verb and ' lament for' as a noun. 5. The guards were ordered to shoot AT sight of anyone who tried to escape.❌ The guards were ordered to shoot ON sight anyone who tried to escape. ✅ We say shoot AT something/somebody, but we shoot ON sight. 6. Your teachings have stuck TO my head.❌ Your teachings have stuck IN my head. ✅ stuck in one's head is an idiom. It means being heard over and over again in one's mind. . . Which of the expressions stood out for you? Did you learn something new from this?

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH PREPOSITIONS TOO (Part 2) In my last post, I shared (gave you) some information about prepositions in English. Here is my last post 👉 https://lnkd.in/dkEpD3vu In this post, I want to talk about one use of the preposition IN to show where someone (a person) or something is or does something. Let’s begin with this question: What do you think? Do I say, “I will meet you IN the park” or “I will meet you AT the park.”? Both “I will meet you IN the park” and “I will meet you AT the park” are correct. ✔️ But, when I use IN, what I say is different from what I say when I use AT in this sentence. *️⃣ When I use IN, I show that I am in a closed space*. ––––––––– *A closed space is a space I know or see where it begins and ends, for example, “the city Gardens” or “my garden.” ––––––––– “I will meet you IN the park.” ➡️ I will meet you INSIDE this closed space, “the park,” and not OUTSIDE. I can also say, “I will meet you IN the park where the café is.” (There is only one café inside the park, and you will meet there). Other examples: 📝Anne and her friend Olivia study IN the university gardens sometimes. 📝The kids (children) are playing IN the backyard*. ––––––––– * The area or space behind a house, where children usually play, or people go to enjoy outside.  ––––––––– Do you have any questions? I would love to see them in the comments. ///¿Te animas a escribir cualquier pregunta que tengas en los comentarios? (🔜 in my next post, I’ll tell you what I say when I use AT and not IN in this sentence: “I will meet you AT the park.”) #englishlearning #englishspeaking #englishteaching #englishwriting #eslteacher #teflteacher

Thank you The Sutton Trust. I have highlighted this disparities few times. The issue of socio economic selective admissions in comprehensive schools and sixth form colleges is indeed a contentious one. The Sutton Trust has highlighted disparities in admissions practices, showing that some comprehensive schools and sixth forms have stringent entry requirements, often more demanding than those of some independent or grammar schools. These selective admissions can create barriers for students from less advantaged backgrounds, potentially exacerbating educational inequality. The aim of comprehensive education is to provide equal opportunities for all students, but selective practices can undermine this goal by favouring those who already have academic advantages and economic advantages. Addressing this issue requires a nuanced understanding of the balance between maintaining high academic standards and ensuring equitable access for all students. The debate calls for policy adjustments to ensure that comprehensive schools and sixth forms fulfill their inclusive mission while still promoting academic excellence. Comprehensive schools and sixth form colleges should be given equal funding and support from corporate sponsors. #Socialmobility #academicexcellence #kingsgenfoundation
