    Study Notes

    English Vocabulary and Expressions

    In this article, we will explore various aspects of English vocabulary and expressions. Specifically, we will focus on adverbs of frequency, rooms in the house, furniture, housework vocabulary, offering food and drinks, and modals of possession.

    Adverbs of Frequency

    Adverbs of frequency are used to express how often or regularly an activity or event occurs. Common examples include "always," "often," "sometimes," and "rarely." Adverbs of frequency can be placed after the noun or pronoun that acts as the subject and before the verb if there is only one verb in the sentence. However, when a sentence contains multiple verbs, the adverb of frequency should be placed before the main verb. Additionally, if a sentence includes an auxiliary or modal verb (e.g., "will" or "would"), the adverb of frequency can be positioned after it for emphasis.

    Rooms in the House

    In English, common rooms found in a house include:

    • Kitchen: where meals are prepared and eaten
    • Living room: a shared space for socializing and relaxation
    • Bedroom: a personal sleeping space
    • Bathroom: a room containing a toilet, sink, and shower/bath
    • Dining room: a separate area for eating meals

    Furniture

    Furniture pieces commonly found in homes include:

    • Sofa: a large, cushioned seat used for sitting or reclining
    • Table: a flat surface intended primarily for holding objects or serving food
    • Chair: a type of furniture with a backrest and armrests, designed for seating
    • Bed: a piece of furniture consisting of a frame and mattress, used for sleeping

    Housework Vocabulary

    Housework vocabulary refers to words related to maintaining cleanliness and order within a home. Some examples are:

    • Cleaning: the act of removing dirt from surfaces
    • Laundry: clothing that is washed, dried, and folded
    • Dishes: plates, cups, utensils, etc., which need to be washed
    • Ironing: using heat to remove wrinkles from clothes

    Offering Food and Drinks

    In formal situations, the modals "have got" and "has got" are used to refer to possession. For example:

    • I have got a new car.
    • She has got a great job offer. When offering food or drinks, one can use phrases like "Can I get you something to eat or drink?" or "Would you like some coffee?" To express the desire to eat or drink oneself, one might say "I'm hungry" or "I'd love a cup of tea."
