Once she gave her a little hood of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else. So she was always called Little Red Riding Hood.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />

“Come, Little Red Riding Hood, here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine. Take them to your grandmother, she is ill and weak, and they will do her good.

And when you go into her room, don't forget to say good-morning, and don't peep into every corner before you do it”.<br />
“I will take great care, said Little Red Riding Hood to her mother”, and gave her hand on it.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />

She did not know what a wicked creature he was, and was not at all afraid of him.<br />
"Good-day, Little Red Riding Hood," said he.<br />
"Thank you kindly, wolf."<br />
"Whither away so early, Little Red Riding Hood?"<br />
"To my grandmother's."<br />
"What have you got in your apron?"<br />
"Cake and wine. Yesterday was baking-day, so poor sick grandmother is to have something good, to make her stronger."<br />
"Where does your grandmother live, Little Red Riding Hood?"<br />
"A good quarter of a league farther on in the wood. Her house stands under the three large oak-trees, the nut-trees are just below. You surely must know it," replied Little Red Riding Hood.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />

What a nice plump mouthful, she will be better to eat than the old woman. I must act craftily, so as to catch both. So he walked for a short time by the side of Little Red Riding Hood, and then he said, "see Little Red Riding Hood, how pretty the flowers are about here. Why do you not look round. I believe, too, that you do not hear how sweetly the little birds are singing. You walk gravely along as if you were going to school, while everything else out here in the wood is merry."<br />
Little Red Riding Hood raised her eyes, and when she saw the sunbeams dancing here and there through the trees, and pretty flowers growing everywhere, she thought: “Suppose I take grandmother a fresh nosegay. That would please her too. It is so early in the day that I shall still get there in good time.” And so she ran from the path into the wood to look for flowers. And whenever she had picked one, she fancied that she saw a still prettier one farther on, and ran after it, and so got deeper and deeper into the wood.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />

"Who is there?"<br />
"Little Red Riding Hood," replied the wolf. "She is bringing cake and wine. Open the door."<br />
"Lift the latch," called out the grandmother, "I am too weak, and cannot get up."<br />
The wolf lifted the latch, the door sprang open, and without saying a word he went straight to the grandmother's bed, and ate her. Then he put on her clothes, dressed himself in her cap, laid himself in bed and drew the curtains.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />

She was surprised to find the cottage-door standing open, and when she went into the room, she had such a strange feeling that she said to herself: “oh dear, how uneasy I feel today, and at other times I like being with grandmother so much”. She called out, "good morning," but received no answer. So she went to the bed and drew back the curtains. There lay her grandmother with her cap pulled far over her face, and looking very strange.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />

"But, grandmother, what large hands you have."<br />

The huntsman was just passing the house, and thought to himself, how the old woman is snoring. I must just see if she wants anything.<br />
So he went into the room, and when he came to the bed, he saw that the wolf was lying in it. “Do I find you here, you old sinner,” said he. “I have long sought you.” Then just as he was going to fire at him, it occurred to him that the wolf might have devoured the grandmother, and that she might still be saved, so he did not fire, but took a pair of scissors, and began to cut open the stomach of the sleeping wolf. When he had made two snips, he saw Little Red Riding Hood shining, and then he made two snips more, and the little girl sprang out, crying: "Ah, how frightened I have been. How dark it was inside the wolf." And after that the grandmother came out alive also, but scarcely able to breathe. Red Riding Hood, however, quickly fetched great stones with which they filled the wolf's belly, and when he awoke, he wanted to run away, but the stones were so heavy that he collapsed at once, and fell dead.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />

The huntsman drew off the wolf's skin and went home with it.

The Best Way to Learn English Grammar .<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow; color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A person who is attempting to learn English grammar quickly realizes that there are many rules and many exceptions to these rules in the English language. For some, doing grammar exercises can be a helpful way to learn those grammar rules. Others find that immersing themselves in the language allows them to obtain the skills needed without doing intense study. For many others, an approach that incorporates parts of both of these methods is most effective.</span></div><span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

<li id="jsArticleStep1" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">Because most people who are actively learning English grammar are those who speak other languages, they have an advantage because they can compare and contrast English to their native language. Pay attention to the way grammar is used in everyday speech and writing. For example, think about the way verbs are used when a person speaks. Compare the use of verbs in English to the use of verbs in your native language. In some foreign languages, each verb conjugates in dozens of different ways and has a perfect and imperfect form.</span></span></span></li><br />

Although reading may not seem like an effective grammar-learning activity, the fact is that the more you read, the more you are able to see sentences that are grammatically correct. Seeing these grammatically correct sentences will allow you to be able to keep the things you read in mind as you speak and write. Even if you do not know how you learned some things, you can know it is very likely that the skills gained will have come from reading.</span></span></span></li><br />

Although you should continually learn different aspects of English grammar, one of the best ways to overcome challenges is to focus on one challenge at a time. For example, if you are having trouble saying verbs in the past tense, focus on conjugating these verbs properly throughout the day. If you find that you do not know how to put a specific verb into past tense, resolve that you will find the answer each time a question comes up during the day. After some time, you will be able to master putting verbs into past tense and can move on to the next challenge with other grammar problems that you may be having.</span></span></li><br />

Tips for speaking English fluently! .<h1> <span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Where do you get input from?</span></h1><h1><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="background-color: #cc0000;"></span></span></h1><div id="main-text" style="float: left;"><b>There is English input available everywhere. Here are a few tips and suggestions for you to find input of English around you and improve your English speech:</b><br />
<br />
</div><h2 style="color: #0b5394;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">Rent or buy an English movie DVD</span></u></h2><h2 style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></h2><b>Rent or buy an English movie DVD. Put the English subtitles on. Follow the movie.</b><br />
<b>This has many advantages:</b><br />
<ul><li><b>You will be able to compare the written words to the correct pronunciations. </b></li>
<li><b>You will get a feel of how real English sentences are formed when speaking. </b></li>
<li><b>You will be learning English but it will not be frustrating and boring because you will be watching a movie. </b></li>
</ul><b>Please note: When you watch the movie be sure to keep your dictionary handy. Whenever you come across a new word, pause the movie and look it up in the dictionary. If you don’t do this, the whole experience will be quite pointless.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<br />
<h2 style="color: #351c75;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">Read about any subject that interests you</span></u></h2><h2> </h2><b>There are a lot of English magazines available on a lot of different topics.</b><br />
<b>No matter what subject interests you, there must be some magazine that talks about it. There are English magazines about Business, Brides, Guns and Ammo, House Keeping, Stock Market, Sports, Computers, Electronics, Linux, Graphic Designing, Cooking etc.</b><br />
<b>Find the magazine that interests you and read it cover to cover. Be sure to look out for new words and new phrases and look them up in the dictionary as you go.</b><br />
<b>If you cannot find a magazine of your choice, look for information you are interested in on the Internet. There is information available on every topic under the sun on the Internet.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="color: #b45f06;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">Read Internet forums of subject matter that interests you</span></u></h2><h2> </h2><b>Got to Internet forums of the subject matter that interests you. Generally most of the forums are in English language and are a great source of English input.</b><br />
<b>For those of you who are not familiar with Internet forums, these are places where people interested in a particular subject can get together and share their views and opinions about a particular subject. You can also ask specific questions to other people and they will help you out if they can. On the Internet, there are forums available about each and every subject.</b><br />
<b>Forums are a great source of information. Also in forums real people talk about real problems. Most of the information typed in forums is written in an informal way. Because of this the forums make a good source for English input. Reading forums exposes you to a lot of phrases of daily use.</b><br />
<b>You could find forums on any subject matter that interests you at: Google Groups</b><br />
<b>You could also go to "Google" and search for the forum of the subject matter you are interested in by typing in something like “C programming forum” or “Cooking forum” etc.</b><br />
<b>When reading forums also make sure you find out the meaning of every new word or phrase you come across or the whole exercise will be useless.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="color: #38761d;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">Read English fiction novels</span></u></h2><h2> </h2><b>Read English fiction of your choice. This is our India. Books are not costly here. You get cheap book in every nook and corner. If you want to pick up an interesting cheap English novel, go to the closest "raddi walla" (You know, the guy you sell your old daily news papers to...) They will generally also have old novels, book and magazines. These wont be good quality. They will all be second hand. But that’s okay, they will be nice and cheap. Pick up some thing that interests you. Take it home and read it. Be sure to look up all the new words you come across in the book.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="color: #444444;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">Listen to the radio and TV</span></u></h2><h2> </h2><b>Our "All India Radio" has some good programs that are designed to teach English to the listener.</b><br />
<b>Besides this, there are also many different radio stations available now-a-days in the big cities. Some of these radio stations are in English. Listen to them to get a feel of the language.</b><br />
<b>Besides the radio, you could also listen to the "News In English". It’s available on a wide variety of channels. The news is a good place to get input of the English language because it is spoken in a very clear, easy to understand way.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="color: #134f5c;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">Chat with fluent English speakers</span></u></h2><h2> </h2><b>Chat with fluent English speakers real or online. Make friends with interesting English speakers. Become pen-pals with a fluent English speaker.</b><br />
<b>While talking to them look at their lip movement for tips on how to pronounce words correctly.</b><br />

<h2 style="background-color: #ffd966; color: #660000;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">Most effective tip: "Think in English"</span></u></h2><h2> </h2><b>One of the most common mistakes that English learners make is, they think in their mother tongue. When they want to say something in English, they think in their mother tongue, translate it to English and then say it in English. The result is a very flawed English sentence. Never do this!</b><br />
<b>If you want to speak in English fluently you will have to learn to "think" in English. When you are constructing sentences in your mind before saying them, think in English and form them in English in your mind.</b><br />

<h1><br />
</h1><span style="font-size: large;">A conjunction is a word that "joins". A conjunction joins two parts of a sentence.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some example conjunctions:</span><br />
<br />
<table border="1" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0"><tbody>
<tr><td><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Coordinating Conjunctions</b></span></td><td><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Subordinating Conjunctions</b></span></td></tr>
<tr valign="bottom"><td><span style="font-size: large;">and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so</span></td><td><span style="font-size: large;">although, because, since, unless</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We can consider conjunctions from three aspects.</span><br />
<h2><span style="font-size: large;">Form</span></h2><span style="font-size: large;">Conjunctions have three basic forms:</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Single Word</b><br />
for example: and, but, because, although<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Compound</b> (often ending with <i>as</i> or <i>that</i>)<br />
for example: provided that, as long as, in order that<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Correlative</b> (surrounding an adverb or adjective)<br />
for example: so...that</span></li>
</ul><h2><span style="font-size: large;">Function</span></h2><span style="font-size: large;">Conjunctions have two basic functions or "jobs":</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Coordinating conjunctions</b> are used to join two parts of a sentence that are grammatically equal. The two parts may be single words or clauses, for example:<br />
- <i>Jack</i> <b>and</b> <i>Jill</i> went up the hill.<br />
- <i>The water was warm,</i> <b>but</b> <i>I didn't go swimming</i>.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Subordinating conjunctions</b> are used to join a subordinate dependent clause to a main clause, for example:<br />
- <i>I went swimming</i> <b>although</b> <i>it was cold</i>.<span id="goog_1762175167"></span><span id="goog_1762175168"></span></span></li>
</ul><h2><span style="font-size: large;">Position</span></h2><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Coordinating conjunctions</b> always come between the words or clauses that they join.<br />
</span></li>
</ul><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Subordinating conjunctions</b> usually come at the beginning of the subordinate clause</span><br />

The shortest sentence contains a verb. You can make a one-word sentence with a verb, for example: "</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><b>Stop!</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">" You cannot make a one-word sentence with any other type of word.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br />
</span></div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b><i>Verbs</i></b> are sometimes described as "action words". This is partly true. Many verbs give the idea of action, of "doing" something. For example, words like <i>run, fight, do</i> and <i>work</i> all convey action.</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;">But some verbs do not give the idea of action; they give the idea of existence, of state, of "being". For example, verbs like <i>be, exist, seem</i> and <i>belong</i> all convey state.</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;">A verb always has a subject. (In the sentence "John speaks English", <i>John</i> is the subject and <i>speaks</i> is the verb.) In simple terms, therefore, we can say that verbs are words that tell us what a subject <b>does</b> or <b>is</b>; they describe:</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><ul style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><li style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b>action</b> (Ram plays football)</li>
<li style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><b>state</b> (Anthony seems kind)</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-size: 15px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is something very special about verbs in English. Most other words (adjectives, adverbs, prepositions etc) do not change in form (although nouns can have singular and plural forms). But almost all verbs change in form. For example, the verb <i>to work</i> has five forms:</span></div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><br />

</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-size: 15px;"><i><br />

<b><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">1) The <span style="color: #663300;">best way to teach English grammar </span>is not as rigid rules. In fact grammar gives writers great latitude in emphasis and emotion while giving clarity to the text for the reader. The parts of speech are mobile<br />
and interchangeable, one part often acting as if it were another.Sentences often contain phrases or clauses that act as a single part of speech.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">2) Grammar is not static; it slowly but constantly changes what is considered correct usage. The writer uses grammar like a symphony conductor uses the orchestra.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
3) The <span style="color: #663300;">education of children in home school </span>should include <span style="color: #663300;">grammar help</span>, and the <span style="color: #663300;">best way to teach English grammar </span>is as a course with coverage of, and <span style="color: #663300;">reference to, multiple parts of speech</span>. Good grammar <span style="color: #663300;">helps acceptance into higher education, and homeschooled children </span>can efficiently acquire good grammar through this <span style="color: #663300;">book</span>.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
4) Grammar as a course is considered a necessity for ESL students.Copious <span style="color: #663300;">grammar help </span>is offered by <span style="color: #663300;">journals on teaching grammar to English language learners </span>for whom English is a second language. <i>"The Write Way to Read" </i>content of Phase Nine: Teach a complete grammar course, excluding over 100 grammar terms, covering punctuation, capitalization, eight parts of speech, sentence structure and function. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">5) The same three themes in my <span style="color: #663300;">thematic approach in curriculum</span>recur in this grammar instruction.<br />
VOCABULARY EXPANDS when finding words to meet the need for an appropriate part of speech or for a sentence construction.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
6) Grammar is ORGANIZED into sections including one section for each part of speech, and for types of phrases and clauses.There is a table organizing the various helping verbs and organizing the verb forms used in the twelve time settings.There is an old-fashioned diagram organizing pronouns.Most explanations are SIMPLIFIED by one or more examples.Not having to memorize most grammar terms SIMPLIFIES LEARNING.</span></b><br />
