Adjective: "happy" → Nominalization: "happiness" (e.g., "The happiness in her eyes was evident.") Nominalization can make writing more precise, but excessive use might lead to wordiness or obscure meanings. It’s a valuable tool for creating variety in sentence structures and can lend a formal tone to writing. However, in some cases, it might be clearer and more direct to use the original verb or adjective rather than its nominalized form. read less

Can you share your teething problems while learning English? A 1970's Anecdote goes as follows....... I studied in six various schools across the length and breadth of Tamil Nadu. Medium was Tamil. I couldn't interact with my classmates in English during my Professional College days. Many of them were from reputed English Medium schools. They were using slang words picked up from English Novels. It added insult to injury as my status in normal Spoken English was in a bad shape. Once I met one of such Silver tongued English Speaking classmates while travelling by a day train down to South.Our conversation was bi-lingual,me inevitably sticking to Tamil and he with his gift-of-the-gab English,that too in American accent.The eight hour journey went on hilariously and co-passengers were perplexed but pitied me for my inability to deliver even one word of English.He alighted at one of en route stations where his father had come to collect him. To our surprise his illiterate father started enquiring about his journey etc, in local Tamil and my friend replying in fluent Tamil.
I started off speaking english at a very young age no matter I was speaking right or wrong. People used to stop me while I spoke wrong English. But I saw with time, those errors were gone. Later on I determined...
