Advice and a Gr point.

First. advice.


There are only 24 hours a day.
You do a lot of C-level work in an EOI to get a B2 level certificate.
So you probably need to prioritise how you study.
Often this means concentrating on your weak points. Typically, writing and speaking.
But this usually means listening and reading : the human brain is associative to begin with -if you prefer, think of this as models to follow.
Further on in this post I`m going to talk abot some tricksy verbs that came up with some of you, and also NI students, before Christmas, before I was blogging.


Now, just think of an example:
You need to remember MORE 
  for just THREE irregular verbs 
Than for the way ALL regular verbs work
-  maybe 20,000 verbs in a 60,000 word passive vocabulary.
 MOST iregular verbs are tiresomely common.
So you have to learn them.
 True
But many beginners think regular verbs must be LESS important than irregular ones
Because they occupy LESS  space on paper and are so SIMPLE.
Then we have students who Know, at least in the table, 300 irregular verbs by heart
BUT get regular verbs and their pronunciation WRONG even in their 4th year!
You have to learn both
BUT THEY GOT THEIR PRIORITIES WRONG.


If you have trouble with the following point , go into it.
But there is a danger you could spend  disproportionate  TIME and effort.
At this level there are a great many little branches like this: Don´t forget they are on a very big tree.
