Dear Arun,

Thank you very much for your words of appreciation.

I, too , had my schooling, upto the 10+2 stage, in a Bengali Medium School. Add to that my experience of interacting with students who decide to study their Honours course in English medium( hitherto studying in the Vernacular medium ) for various reasons; and you'll understand that these seemingly basic things are (were) not that basic for us - just as the case with you.

Often to my bewilderment I've noticed that some people who are well-conversant in the language would tell you what not to do for improving the skill-set required in our area of discussion; but seldom they would categorically show you the way to improvement. In this situation, I've found that going back to the basics for any number of times that one feels required helps a lot in our quest for learning. With this in my mind, I've shared this part.

In future, I would love to write a series on basic rules of grammar which, if followed regularly for say 30 minutes, will surely help people like us for whom the so-called basic is not all-that-basic. Please do tell me, if any such effort is welcome or not.

  Thanking you again for your interest and appreciation,

         I remain.

        Regards,

             SB

Commendable....

I have got this example useful bhaiya.....so thought to share the same...

If you make an appointment with someone, you have an official meeting with him or her.

Example: We’ve made an appointment with our bank manager tomorrow.

When you fix a date for something then you choose a time for something.

Example: They’ve finally set a date for their house-warming party.

If you have a date with someone or you go on a date you arrange to meet someone with whom you are having or starting a relationship.

Example: Sandra and Tom had a date last weekend.

Hello friends,

I often apologise for the horrors of English spelling, but it's a fact: To speak English well, you need vocabulary, a nice accent, and good grammar. To write English well, you need vocabulary, grammar, an understanding of punctuation and good spelling.

Best regards

Calvin Brave
