tree.The Historyof St. Patrick's Day and why it's celebrated.St. Patrick'sDay was first celebrated in America in 1737, organized by the Charitable IrishSociety of Boston, including a feast and religious service. This firstcelebration of the holiday in the colonies was largely to honor and celebratethe Irish culture that so many colonists had been separated from.Earlycelebrations continued this modest tradition. In New York, the firstcelebration took place as a small gathering at the home of an Irish protestant.St. Patrick's Day parades started in New York in 1762 by a group of Irishsoldiers in the British military who marched down Broadway. This began thetradition of a military theme in the parade, as they often feature marchingmilitary unites. The holiday eventually evolved from the modest religiousdinner into the raucous holiday we know today.

The use ofidioms and phrasal verbs in conversation is an important part of learning tounderstand the English that natives speak. If you want to enjoy films and musicor just join in a conversation between 2 English speakers, then you need tostart integrating them into your learning. Look at the example below and see how much you can understand.

British English - in a team Whilethere are certainly many more varieties of English, American English andBritish English are the two varieties that are taught in most ESL/EFL programs.Generally, it is agreed that no one version is "correct" however,there are certainly preferences in use. The three major differences betweenbetween American and British English are: Pronunciation - differences in bothvowel and consonants, as well as stress and intonation Vocabulary - differences in nouns andverbs, especially phrasal verbusage Spelling - differences are generally found in certain prefix and suffixforms.Use of the PresentPerfectIn British Englishthe present perfect is used to express an action that has occurred in the recent pastthat has an effect on the present moment. For example:I've lost my key. Can you help melook for it?In American English the following is also possible:I lost my key. Can you help me look for it?In British English the above would beconsidered incorrect. However, both forms are generally accepted in standardAmerican English.AdsOther differencesinvolving the use of the present perfect in British English and simple past in American English include already, just and yet.British English:I've just had lunchI've already seen that filmHave you finished your homework yet?American English:I just had lunch OR I've just hadlunchI've already seen that film OR I already saw that film.Have your finished your homework yet? OR Did you finish your homework yet?PossessionThere are two forms to expresspossession in English. Have or Have gotDo you have a car?Have you got a car?He hasn't got any
friends.He doesn't have any friends.She has a beautiful new home.She's got a beautiful new home.While both forms are correct (andaccepted in both British and American English), have got (have you got, hehasn't got, etc.) is generally the preferred form in British English while mostspeakers of American English employ the have (do you have, he doesn't haveetc.)The Verb GetThe past participle of the verb getis gotten in American English. Example He's gotten much better at playingtennis. British English - He's got much better at playing tennis.VocabularyProbably the majordifferences between British and American English lies in the choice ofvocabulary. Some words mean different things in the two varieties for example:Mean: (American English - angry, badhumored, British English - not generous, tight fisted)There are many more examples (toomany for me to list here). If there is a difference in usage, your dictionarywill note the different meanings in its definition of the term. Many vocabularyitems are also used in one form and not in the other. For a more complete listof the vocabulary differences between British and American English use this British vs. AmericanEnglish vocabulary tool.PrepositionsThere are also a few differences inpreposition use including the following: American English - on the weekendBritish English - at the weekend American English - on a team American English - please write mesoonBritish English - please write to me soonSpellingHere are somegeneral differences between British and American spellings:Words ending in -or (American) -our (British) color, colour, humor, humour,flavor, flavour etc.Words ending in -ize (American) -ise (British) recognize, recognise, patronize,patronise etc.The best way to make sure that you are being consistent in your spelling is touse the spell check on your word processor (if you are using the computer ofcourse) and choose which variety of English you would like. As you can see,there are really very few differences between standard BritishEnglish and standard American English. However, the largest difference is probably that of the choice ofvocabulary and pronunciation.
