To understand a person, learn to think like him. This axiom also applies to the study foreign languages. In order for expressions in English to be memorized easily, it is necessary to understand how a native speaker perceives them.

Direct translation of phrases into Russian is very useful. Some of them will sound strange or even funny, but this will be a good guide for understanding the mentality of foreigners. In addition, it is worth considering whether our phrases sound strange to the English ear.

By memorizing the first phrases and expressions in English language, it is necessary to pay attention to the special role of the verb be. We recommend starting with nominal constructions with personal and possessive pronouns:

I(personal pronoun) am a learner. I am a student (literal translation). I am a student (normal translation). A literal translation shows how a native speaker thinks. Normal - as we think.

Let's see how a native speaker translates the phrase "I am a teacher" literally. He will say: I teacher”, which will seem very strange to him, but if he thinks about it, he will understand that the Russians think this way, and therefore it will become much easier for him to learn our language.

If we want to find basic phrases in English and remember them, we need to look for them in colloquial speech used for communication. The likelihood that you will meet someone today is very high, so you will need to acquire phrases for greeting. Don't forget that if you live in a hotel or are at a school or college campus, you will have to say hello every time you meet a person.

A universal dialogue used by almost all native speakers (with some variations it looks like this):

• - Hello (hi)! Hello hi)!
• - How are you (doing)? How are you
• - I'm fine (good, great, nice). Thanks (thank you)! And you? I'm fine (great, fine). Thank you! What about you (you)?
• - I'm fine (good, perfect) too. I'm fine (excellent) too. thank you! Thank you!

On our website you will find basic phrases in English with translation used in various life situations. For example, in a dating situation, phrases will come in handy:

• - Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you (you).
• - Nice to meet you, too. I am also pleased to meet you (you).

When looking for a way in the unfamiliar locality phrases would be helpful.

How can I get to the Lincoln Memorial? How do I get to the Lincoln Memorial.

Over time, it will be useful to learn how to use the so-called polite questions. In them, the order of words, unlike simple options, does not change.

Could you tell me how I can get to the Lincoln Memorial? Can you tell me how to get to the Lincoln Memorial?

The English language is great and diverse, and the basic phrases in English for communication can be listed, perhaps, in a phrasebook for a tourist. It is useful for a beginner student to understand that an English sentence has a certain word order, and build on this.

Among teachers, a character named is popular Mr Spom. This "surname" was formed from the first letters of the words denoting the main word order in the English affirmative (and in the negative) sentence:

Subject + Predicate + Object + Modifier (Subject + Predicate + Object + Circumstance)

We substitute the necessary words and get a sample of a simple English phrase:

Jack (subject) built (predicate) his beautiful house (object) in 2004 (modifier). Mister Spom in all his glory! Sometimes there may be no circumstance or object, but the presence of the subject and predicate can almost always be detected (if it is absent in colloquial speech, then it is implied). Got home at last. (I) made it home, finally.

Using everyday affirmatives and negatives English phrases right, you will always feel the invisible presence of "Mr. Spam", and when translating into Russian, it is best to adjust the word order to his rules:

I am going to visit my granny in the evening. I'm going to visit my grandmother tonight.

I will leave to Moscow at 7 pm. At seven in the evening I leave for Moscow.

Making interrogative sentences out of these sentences is easy. Move the auxiliary verbs (am and will) forward and put question marks.
