V. BRITISH ENGLISH VS AMERICAN ENGLISH
The differences between British English and American English are small in terms of grammar. However, there are quite a number of vocabulary and spelling differences (see below).
Grammar
Some of the main differences are as follows:
1. The American tend to use a past tense where the British would use a present perfect:
I have finished the report. (BrE)
Have you seen it yet? (BrE)
I finished the report (AmE) Did you see it yet? (AmE)
2. In AmE the past participle of get is gotten:
He's never really got over the death of his wife. (BrE)
He's never really gotten over the death of his wife. (AmE)
Some Americans say boughten instead of bought.
3. The verb dive is regular in British English (dive - dived - dived) but irregular in American (dive- dove - dived).
4. The use of prepositions and adverbs changes slightly:
BrE AmE
Check something check something out
Do something again do something over
Meet somebody meet with somebody
Stay at home stay home
Visit someone visit with someone
At the weekend on the weekend
Monday to Wednesday Monday thru Wednesday
5. The adverb presently has a different meaning:
The ACC Institute is presently undergoing a reorganisation.
(AmE = right now)
Mr. Bennett will be with you presently.
(BrE = soon)
6. On the phone:
Hello, is that Mr. Waters? (BrE)
Hello, is this Mr. Waters? (AmE)
7. If a British person received a letter from an American which began: 'I would be quite interested to meet you' he/she would be surprised, because the British person would interpret quite to mean 'fairly, but not much'. The American meant 'very'.
Vocabulary
1. In business correspondence:
1.1 In Britain the day of the month is written first. In AmE the month comes first: 12,5,94 = the twelfth of May (BrE); the fifth of December (AmE).
1.2 When writing to a firm, Americans may begin with Gentlemen, although this is becoming less commonly used.
1.3 In the United States it is more common to end the letter with Sincerely rather than Yours sincerely/Yours faithfully.
2. Most of these words would be understood by both American and British speakers but some e.g. gas, corn could lead to confusion.
BrE AmE
Anywhere anyplace
Flat apartment
Barrister, solicitor attorney
Car automobile
(advertising) hoarding billboard wallet billfold taxi cab reverse the charges call collect maize corn tailor customize tailor-made custom-made lift elevator autumn fall ground floor first floor puncture flat motorway freeway petrol gas railway railroad rise (in salary/prices) raise estate agent realtor public toilet rest room return round-trip timetable schedule pavement sidewalk sleeping partner silent partner tube subway lorry truck toll motorway turnpike holiday vacation corn wheat post code zip code
3. When acknowledging thanks in AmE say You're welcome; in BrE say Don't mention it or That's all right.
4. When talking about educational background and institutions the vocabulary will be different. For an American I went to college could mean I went to university. An American majors in a subject, an English person does/reads for a degree. In Great Britain a graduate is a person who has completed a three or four year degree; in AmE the term graduate is also used for someone who has completed high school studies. A graduate student (AmE) is the equivalent of a postgraduate.
5. Note that 10:45 is a quarter to eleven in both British and American usage, but Americans also say a quarter of eleven.
11:45 is a quarter past eleven for both communities but the Americans also say a quarter after eleven. 3:30 is half past three but the British also say half three.
6. If someone say 'John called', an American would interpret this as 'John phoned'. In Great Britain this could be taken as either 'John phoned', or 'John visited'.
7. If you say 'The presentation bombed' in AmE, it means 'the presentation was a disaster'. In Great Britain 'it went like a bomb' means that everyone thought it was fantastic.
Spelling
BrE AmE theatre centre theater center favour labour favor labor catalogue dialogue catalog dialog realise or realize realize travelling, woollen traveling, woolen analyse analyze axe ax cheque check licence license (noun) manoeuvre maneuver offence offense programme program speciality specialty through thru tyre tire
Past participle endings: spelt, burnt, spoilt spelled, burned, spoiled
VI. LANGUAGE REVIEW
1. Hypothesis
Tenses can be used to express both fact and non-fact (hypothesis).
Tenses which express fact refer to real time.
I have a boring job. I don't earn much money. (Present Perfect)
I didn't work hard. I failed all my exams. (Past fact)
Tenses that express non-fact do not refer to real time.
The verb moves one tense back to show unreality.
I wish I had a good job. If only I earned more money.
I wish I'd (=had) worked harder. If only I hadn't failed all my exams. (Non-facts)
Hypothesizing about the present
The Past Simple is used in the second conditional, and with wish, if only, would rather and it's time to express unreal present and future.
If I had enough money, I'd buy a new car. (I don't have enough money.)
I wish I were (or was) rich. (I'm not rich.)
If only I had a new car. (I have an old one.)
I wish I could come. (I can't come.)
I wish you would help with the housework. (You won't/don't help.)
I'd rather you lived nearer. (You live miles away.)
It's time you knew the truth. (You don't know it.)
Hypothesizing about the past
The Past Perfect is used in the third conditional, and with wish, if only, and would rather to express unreal or imaginary past.
If he'd been more careful, he wouldn't have fallen.
(He wasn't careful. He fell.)
I wish I'd met the President.
(I didn't meet/I haven't met the President.)
Should + the perfect infinitive is used to refer to a past action that didn't happen. The action would have been a good idea. It is advice that is too late!
You should have taken the medicine.
(You didn't take it.)
