2) British/American English

You may or may not be aware of some differences between British English and American English. It’s not that one variation is better or superior to the other. It’s just the way it is. This course is written in British English.

Often, the focus is on differences in nouns and the names of things. British native speakers of English talk of pavements, petrol stations and trousers, whereas American native speakers of English talk of sidewalks, gas stations and pants, respectively.

Or it could be spellings. For example, in British English, almost all words that end in –ise are spelt with –ize in American English, e.g. realise/realize.

But some grammar differences also occur. There aren’t that many. Here are a few examples that generally occur:

The key point is that in this course you may see some word or grammatical structure that doesn’t seem quite right to you or seems wrong. It’s probably because of the differences between British and American English.
