By 杨淑丹 老师 2020-12-29 2436次浏览

English is used in many countries and there are many differences in this language. We understand that there exist differences between British and American English in terms of pronunciation, spelling, vocabulary and usage. 

Can you think of some examples to show the differences between the two versions?

    1. The pronunciation of British English is very different from that of American English. British English has more undulating tones, clear and high pitched words, and heavy friction; American English is more tactful and soft, and its pronunciation is more mellow. They are quite different in many vowels, accents and tones.

    2. In terms of spelling, the difference between British English and American English is also obvious. Most English learners in non English speaking countries will use American spelling more.

    3. There are many differences between British English and American English not only in grammar, but also in the lexical expression of some concepts.

    I feel that there is a big difference between English pronunciation and American pronunciation. American sounds are more tactful, while English sounds are more rigid. It may have something to do with their character.

    I think the differences between British English and American English are mainly in pronunciation, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and so on. This difference may be influenced by lifestyle, traditional culture and other factors. For example, when we talk about Britain, we may think of English gentlemen. When we talk about the United States, we may think of the enthusiasm of the United States, and so on. This also causes language differences.

    • Pronunciation - differences in both vowel and consonants, as well as stress and intonation
    • Vocabulary - differences in nouns and verbs, especially phrasal verb usage and the names of specific tools or items
    • Spelling - differences are generally found in certain prefix and suffix forms

    For example, British English often adds "should" in the virtual form, while American English mostly doesn't. To have / have got, to have / don have, to have / have to do, to have got to do something, to have to do something。
