Hello there,
here is my notes for tomorrow's lecture assignment
We will discuss the differences between British and American English in both written and spoken forms.
In general most British and Americans can understand each other without too much difficulty.
They watch each other’s TV shows, sing each other’s songs, and read each other’s books.
but there are some differences between them ,such as in :
1- Vocabulary (e.g elevator & lift)
2- Collective Nouns (as singular or plural)
3- Auxiliary verbs (e.g shall,will)
4- Past Tense Verbs (-ed , -t endings)
5-Tag Questions which is Americans use it more than British
6-Spelling where we find so much many differences between British and American English (color-colour, favour-favor..etc)
