Cara mudah nak belajar ejaan English

Belajar spelling...

1. Belajar ejaan dari menulis dan membaca.
2. Belajar tentang peraturan mengeja sambil belajar tulis dan baca.

Antaranya...
Jika suatu verb (kata kerja) berakhir dengan huruf E, anda boleh tambah imbuhan ke ING (untuk menunjukkan ia masih berlaku). Ianya selalu digunakan untuk verb yang menggunakan silent e (perkataan yang hujungnya ada huruf e, tapi tak berbunyi bila kita baca/sebut).

Contoh:
love (cinta/sayang) = kita sebut luv, kita tak sebut lo-ve (tu di namakan silent e).
bake (buat kek/biskut)= kita sebut bek, kita tak sebut ba-ki.

Jadi, kita boleh tukar...
love = loving
bake=baking
like =liking
hate = hating
vote=voting
believe=believing
take=taking
wave=waving
complete=completing

Good luck!

Beza its dan it's

2-3 hari lepas saya dapat mesej kat whatsapp saya dari Tania. Simple question, tapi kalau tak tahu, tetap tahukan?

It = sesuatu benda/perkara
It is a big house. 
It has green and white stripes.
It shows that she is nice.

It's = pendek utk it is. Dalam penulisan atau percakapan, kalau you tak boleh ubah ayat tu ke it is, salah la ayat tu. 
Contohnya:
It is going to rain. 
It's going to rain.
Dua -dua ni betul dan boleh di pakai.
Contoh lain:
Hawa said it's not going to be easy.
It's a great day to go swimming.

Its = menunjukkan pemilikan. Macam his and hers. Selalu digunakan untuk binatang, benda(sesuatu yg tidak menunujukkan jantina) gender neutral
Contoh:
Its always been a part of our house. (Ianya sudah lama sebahagian dari rumah kami).
The hotel is reconstructing one of its restaurants. (Hotel tersebut sedang mengubahsuai salah satu dari restorannya).
The cat is licking its paws. ( Kucing itu menjilat kakinya).

Cuba:
1. Its/It's Aidilfitri again.
2. Amar will return the cat to its/it's owner.




1. it's 2. its

MUET & Selamat Hari Raya!

Selamat Hari Raya! I know, I know. It's been like a 100 years since I wrote and I promised that I would write more since then...sabar je lah kan? Anyway...I actually received loads of emails and questions which I replied back personally rather than sharing. Nantilah saya upload soalan dan jawapan yg saya jawab.

Recently saya dapat ramai yang nak belajar English yang kemudiannya saya dapat tahu nak belajar utk MUET (Malaysian Uni English Test)...so, ni guideline yang saya ambil dari http://mpm.edu.my tentang regulations, test format and sample questions. Hopefully some of you can make us of this. Kat dalam ada soalan2 yang korang tengok dan buat exercises. InsyaAllah nanti saya letak soalan MUET yang lain untuk rujukan.
