V. BRITISH ENGLISH VS AMERICAN ENGLISH

The differences between British English and American English are small in terms of grammar. However, there are quite a number of vocabulary and spelling differences (see below).

Grammar

Some of the main differences are as follows:

1. The American tend to use a past tense where the British would use a present perfect:

I have finished the report. (BrE)

Have you seen it yet? (BrE)

I finished the report (AmE)

Did you see it yet? (AmE)

2. In AmE the past participle of get is gotten:

He's never really got over the death of his wife. (BrE)

He's never really gotten over the death of his wife. (AmE)

Some Americans say boughten instead of bought.

3. The verb dive is regular in British English (dive - dived - dived) but irregular in American (dive- dove - dived).

4. The use of prepositions and adverbs changes slightly:

BrE AmE

Check something check something out

Do something again do something over

Meet somebody meet with somebody

Stay at home stay home

Visit someone visit with someone

At the weekend on the weekend

Monday to Wednesday Monday thru Wednesday

5. The adverb presently has a different meaning:

The ACC Institute is presently undergoing a reorganisation.

(AmE = right now)

Mr. Bennett will be with you presently.

(BrE = soon)

6. On the phone:

Hello, is that Mr. Waters? (BrE)

Hello, is this Mr. Waters? (AmE)

7. If a British person received a letter from an American which began: 'I would be quite interested to meet you' he/she would be surprised, because the British person would interpret quite to mean 'fairly, but not much'. The American meant 'very'.

Vocabulary

1. In business correspondence:

1.1 In Britain the day of the month is written first. In AmE the month comes first: 12,5,94 = the twelfth of May (BrE); the fifth of December (AmE).

1.2 When writing to a firm, Americans may begin with Gentlemen, although this is becoming less commonly used.

1.3 In the United States it is more common to end the letter with Sincerely rather than Yours sincerely/Yours faithfully.

2. Most of these words would be understood by both American and British speakers but some e.g. gas, corn could lead to confusion.

BrE AmE

Anywhere anyplace

Flat apartment

Barrister, solicitor attorney

Car automobile

(advertising) hoarding billboard

wallet billfold

taxi cab

maize corn

estate agent realtor

public toilet rest room

timetable schedule

sleeping partner silent partner

tube subway

lorry truck

toll motorway turnpike

holiday vacation

corn wheat

post code zip code

3. When acknowledging thanks in AmE say You're welcome; in BrE say Don't mention it or That's all right.

4. When talking about educational background and institutions the vocabulary will be different. For an American I went to college could mean I went to university. An American majors in a subject, an English person does/reads for a degree. In Great Britain a graduate is a person who has completed a three or four year degree; in AmE the term graduate is also used for someone who has completed high school studies. A graduate student (AmE) is the equivalent of a postgraduate.

5. Note that 10:45 is a quarter to eleven in both British and American usage, but Americans also say a quarter of eleven.

11:45 is a quarter past eleven for both communities but the Americans also say a quarter after eleven. 3:30 is half past three but the British also say half three.

6. If someone say 'John called', an American would interpret this as 'John phoned'. In Great Britain this could be taken as either 'John phoned', or 'John visited'.

7. If you say 'The presentation bombed' in AmE, it means 'the presentation was a disaster'. In Great Britain 'it went like a bomb' means that everyone thought it was fantastic.

VI. LANGUAGE REVIEW

1. Hypothesis

Tenses can be used to express both fact and non-fact (hypothesis).

Tenses which express fact refer to real time.

I have a boring job. I don't earn much money. (Present Perfect)

I didn't work hard. I failed all my exams. (Past fact)

Tenses that express non-fact do not refer to real time.

The verb moves one tense back to show unreality.

I wish I had a good job. If only I earned more money.

I wish I'd (=had) worked harder. If only I hadn't failed all my exams. (Non-facts)

Hypothesizing about the present

The Past Simple is used in the second conditional, and with wish, if only, would rather and it's time to express unreal present and future.

If I had enough money, I'd buy a new car. (I don't have enough money.)

I wish I were (or was) rich. (I'm not rich.)

If only I had a new car. (I have an old one.)

I wish I could come. (I can't come.)

I wish you would help with the housework. (You won't/don't help.)

I'd rather you lived nearer. (You live miles away.)

It's time you knew the truth. (You don't know it.)

Hypothesizing about the past

The Past Perfect is used in the third conditional, and with wish, if only, and would rather to express unreal or imaginary past.

If he'd been more careful, he wouldn't have fallen.

(He wasn't careful. He fell.)

I wish I'd met the President.

(I didn't meet/I haven't met the President.)

Should + the perfect infinitive is used to refer to a past action that didn't happen. The action would have been a good idea. It is advice that is too late!

You should have taken the medicine.

(You didn't take it.)

2. Wishes to Facts

Read the hypotheses and complete the reality. Add a sentence.

Example:

I wish I lived in the countryside but I don't. I live in the town.

a. I wish I spoke English fluently, but ...

__________________________________________________________________________

b. If only I didn't get so nervous before exams, but ...

__________________________________________________________________________

h. It's time those children were in bed, but ...

__________________________________________________________________________

3. Facts to Wishes

Read the reality and add some wishes. Express them in as many ways as you can.

Example:

We went to Blackpool for our holiday and it rained the whole time.

I wish we hadn't gone to Blackpool.

If only we'd gone to Spain!

We shouldn't have gone to Blackpool.

If we'd gone to Spain the weather would have been hot and sunny.

I'd rather we'd gone to Spain.

a. We didn't have any pets when I was a child because we lived in a flat.

c. My parents really wanted me to become a doctor, not a teacher.

d. They think that my youngest brother's a layabout. He won't even look for a job.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

e. I come from a huge family. I've got seven brothers and one sister.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

f. I can't remember my grandmother because she died when I was only three.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

g. I didn't start learning a foreign language until I was fifteen.
