GLOSSARY



The glossary help you to understand some texts, dialogues and sometimes songs, I hope this tool be useful to improve your writing skill, you´re gonna study some nouns, verbs, adjectives, synonimous, antonym and phrasal verbs.
 
 
PHRASAL VERBS:Phrasal verbs are usually two-word phrases consisting of verb + adverb or verb + preposition. Think of them as you would any other English vocabulary. Study them as you come across them, rather than trying to memorize many at once. Use the list below as a reference guide when you find an expression that you don't recognize. The examples will help you understand the meanings. If you think of each phrasal verb as a separate verb with a specific meaning, you will be able to remember it more easily. Like many other verbs, phrasal verbs often have more than one meaning.
 
There are some examples:
 
ask someone out:  Invite on a date
ask around: ask many people the same question
add up to something:equal
back something up:reverse
back someone up: support
blow up:explode
blow something up:add air
call around:phone many different places/people
call someone back:return a phone call
come across something:find unexpectedly
fall aget away with something
part:break into pieces: do without being noticed or punished
hang on:wait a short time:informal
keep on doing something:continue doing
look forward to something:be excited about the future
pass something up:decline (usually something good)
run over/through something:rehearse, review
show off: act extra special for people watching (usually boastfully)
take someone out: pay for someone to go somewhere with you
work something out: make a calculation

    For me, the glossary is for all the people that want to get better at talking, learning new ways of sentences and new words. After seeing this post, I can say that it doesn’t take too much time to get better at what I said above only 10 to 15 minutes to get better. I also would like to know the glossary of the songs.

    About the English glossary I have to say that it’s very interesting, as it’s a way for us to understand better the specific meaning of words according to different contexts. I find also useful to start learning new phrasal verbs, as they are also very used by native speakers and their definitions are not easy to find in common dictionaries.
    I would like to find a glossary about sports, especially about swimming, because I practice diving and there are many words related to this sport that are not easy to find. I would also like to find more funny idiomatic expressions, as I could use them with my friends to make jokes.

    With a glossary, we as students can be learn more about the language, This in special contains some useful phrasal verbs, that we can fin in songs, programs, etc. Is a good way to express our opinons and viewpoints about something, understand to others and so on. I think that to learn another language easily is better to get a lot of vocabulare and improve our writting and speaking skills.

  10. Good night, My name is Christian Carvajal, 6th CYCLE

    I think a glossary must have words that are uncommon, or expressions that have their own meaning in the context of the text, like a common expression. The glossary must have to define the sentence or word, using common words, and give an example if necessary, so the reader can entirely understand the concept of the text.

  12. Glossaries are a very useful tool where you can find information that everybody needs to become better at talking, writing, and speaking that are the basic skills of any language. I would like to have a song glossary because I love music and it will help me to understand them better. They can also help me to understand dialogues better, giving me the tools I need when explaining grammar in context.

      Glossaries are important to find terms that are specific to a field, of a topic or a specialized book, through which are defined the words that have been used or are discussed in a text and that can help the reader better understand the words used in the text.
      These terms may be idiomatic expressions or Idioms of a particular place that are part of the culture of the native of that country.

      I would like to that be included a glossary of terms of the idiomatic expressions used by all countries that speak the English language .
      Bye.
