How to Study in Six Simple Steps

Space (1)

How to Study: It is easier to study when you are in a comfortable space. Make room, mentally and physically, for studying. Take a deep breath and pause for a moment before you start. Remember the types of things that make you comfortable. Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can focus without distractions.

Place (2)

Personalize your workspace. Surround yourself with items that inspire and motivate you. This could include quotes, posters or images that help you remember things. Arrange your desk and study materials in a way that makes it easy to study. Use organizers, shelves and containers to keep everything tidy but accessible. Also remove all the things you don't need on your desk. Lots of people just pile up stuff and move it to the side but this makes it difficult to study at times.

Pace (3)

Notice the way you like to work, and adjust your pace accordingly. If you work slowly just allow more time to study. A 10-minute break for 30 minutes study works for a lot of people. Also don't forget to check how much you actually remembering after studying for about 30 minutes. It's easy to st

Your Current Search

If you are looking for a certain thing and can't find it, use our menu on the right side of this site, or try our search engine :)

Navigation

If a navigation bar is the roadmap to a website, it’s probably best to show every page there, right? That way people are sure to find what they need...

Actually, not so much.

Many people take the “more is more” approach to their top (or side) navigation menu—the logic being that if visitors need to find something, at least they’ll be able to find it in the main menu.

The thing is, navigation menus work best when they are short and sweet. There's a few reasons for this:

User experience: A short menu is easier and faster for people to read through—if they have to hunt through lots of options, they are more likely to bounce.

Search engine optimization (SEO): A short, clear menu makes it easier for search engines to navigate, understand, and index your site.

Design: Most website templates are designed with one line of navigation in mind. Adding more than that can make your navigation look crowded, hard to read, and in some cases “break” the sty

What are Verbs? List of 600+ English Verbs with Types, Examples, Rules

Verbs are words that describe the way someone or something does something. They describe what the subject of a sentence is doing. Verbs can indicate (physical or mental) actions, occurrences and states of being. They describe an action, like the words eat, sleep, love and study. They are actions, words that involve motion or physical activity.

Examples: Verbs in a sentence

Glen teaches English.

Students are studying now.

True love exists.

Sentences must have at least one verb. A sentence can be just a single verb in the imperative form (e.g., “Go!”). In this example, the implied subject is you.

Grammar and Examples:

Mr. Rowell takes a lesson in the morning.

What does Mr. Rowell do?

He takes a lesson.

The action he is doing is "taking" a lesson.

So the action is denoted by the word “takes". In that case that word “takes" is the verb.

The university hired him.
Here, the word "hired" is the verb.

The history/origin of the question mark - Where did it come from?

Question Marks

The question mark (?; also known as an interrogation point, interrogation mark, question point, query or eroteme), is a punctuation mark that replaces the full stop (period) at the end of an interrogative sentence in English and many other languages. The question mark is not used for indirect questions. It is also often used in place of missing or unknown data.

??????????????

Origin and Evolution

Long ago when scholars wrote in Latin, they would place the word questio – meaning “question” at the end of a sentence to indicate a query. Soon questio was shortened to qo to save space when writing, but this caused a different problem – readers might mistake it for the ending of a word. So they squashed the letters into a symbol (a lowercased q on top of an o). Over t

A lady, I had never met before, greeted me in English and for some reason, it felt like I was back in Australia again. Her pronunciation was so nice. I wonder if she was born in Japan.

You Really Don’t Need Japanese, Do You?

"Of the roughly 20 countries I’ve been to, Japan is probably the most set up to accommodate people who don’t speak the local language. Many people live here with no more than a handful of simple phrases and do just fine. Lots of signs and menus are in English, and the entire population has received at least six years of English education. Even if you try to speak Japanese, it may not work. Sometimes no matter how perfectly you ask a question in Japanese, you’ll get an answer in English, or at least dumbed-down Japanese. Contrary to many countries that demand you speak the local language, Japan sometimes seems to prefer you don’t speak Japanese."

The Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) is "an English language test designed specifically to measure the everyday English skills of people working in an international environment."

Why should you do the TOEIC test?

It is a globally recognized assessment to evaluate the English skills of non-native English learners.o

It is increasingly being demanded by business corporations that seek individuals that are highly competent in English to support international projects and overseas business expansions.

In this world of globalization, you will be able to gain more linguistic skills to communicate effectively both in the work place and in your private life.

As we are well-aware, the job market is highly competitive and you need a competitive advantage to be distinct from other job applicants. Getting a high TOEIC score will support you to be highlighted from other job applicant

Effective textbook reading

Effective textbook reading is a key study skill for student success. Nearly every class makes you read them.

“Makes” is the right word here. “Requires,” “forces,” or “insists” will also work. Few people read textbooks unless they have to. If you read textbooks for fun, shoot me an email. I need to interview you, because I don’t think you exist.

Reading textbooks is weird. That’s right – weird. Granted, we all have to read them. But even you bookworms – the kinds of people who devour the Twilight books in one week, or Harry Potter, or the Hunger Games books – know that textbooks are a bit weird.

英文法可算名詞（Countable Nouns）

１.　可算名詞の場合

（１）複数形で用いられることがあります。

（２）単数であれば不定冠詞 a／an が付き、複数であれば冠詞なしとなります。

（３）One ...、Two ... と数え、聞くときは How much ～ ? ではなくて How many ～ ? という形をとります。

２.　可算名詞の複数形には few、fewer、fewest、さらには many が付きます。（little、less、least と much は、不可算名詞にのみ付くものです）。

X We bought less than seven pens.
○ We bought fewer than seven pens.
買ったペンは7本以下。

X You need a little dollars to buy a pen.
○ You need a few dollars to buy a pen.
ペンを買うには数ドル必要です。

X There are much textbooks on the desk.
○ There are many textbooks on the desk.
机の上にはたくさんの教科書が置かれています。

３.　冠詞をどう付けるか

冠詞 (kanshi) ：英単語 article 複数形 articles

「どれ」ということなく取り上げるときは、不定冠詞 a

英文法過去形（Past Tense）

過去形は、もう済んでしまった話として、現在との連続性が断たれている事柄を取り上げるときに使う時制です。例えば、I worked there for 15 years. と言われたとすれば、もうそこでは働いていないことがわかります。これに対して、現在完了形を使って I have worked there for 15 years. というのであれば、現在との連続性がある時制なので、今もそこで働いていることになります。同様に、I lost his notes of the meeting. と I have lost his notes of the meeting. を比べた場合では、後者ではノートをいまだに発見していないことがわかるのに対し、前者ではともかく「なくした」という済んだ話がわかるだけで、その後、発見したかもしれませんし、いまだに発見していないかもしれないということになります。

SINCEとAGOとFORの違い | 英会話レッスン

Grammar & Usage　～文法＆語法について～

since / ago / for

　「私は２年前から英語を勉強しています。」を英語で言うとどうなるでしょうか。中３レベルの英文ですが、*“I have studied English since two years ago.” と、生徒に教えてしまってないでしょうか。

この“since two years ago” のように、“since” と “ago” が共存するのは「正用法」ではありません。多くの辞書には「“since ~ ago” は普通使われない、避けるべき」と書かれてあります。こうした説明に出くわしたことがなかったら、辞書の語法欄を読む習慣をつけることをお勧めします。

理由は“since” が「過去から現在までの動作」を、“ago” は「過去の一時点の動作（現在とは基本的に関係ない）」ことを表しているからです。結局「正用法」としては、“I have studied English for two years.” のように書くことになります。

「正用法」と強調しているのは、「“I have studied English since two years ago.” と言うこともある」からです。しかし、「通じればイイ」ということで安易にこの表現を教えたり使ったりするのはどうかなと思います。こうした文法や語法に関してしっかりした知識を持っておくことが大事だと思います。
WRITER’S GUIDE TO ENGLISH COMPOSITION AND USAGE から解説を引用しておきます。

since ～ / ～ ago

SINCE + a point in time
(2025, 1990, April, Monday...)

A length of time + AGO
(1 year, 20 years, a week, 2 days, 2 months...)

FOR
