I have created this blog to share interesting contents that I believe may help you when learning English.

English is very easy if you understand its structural contents.
Soon you will find out why this blog is called ENGLeasy, but here are some ideas...  


  • There are no female/male grammatical categories.
    E.g. This table is blue | This pen is mine.

  • The verbs are very similar or equal for each subject.
    E.g. I play
           You play
           She/He/It plays 
           We play
           You play
           They play  


  • Many rules and exceptions can be applicable in various different situations.
    E.g. NOUN ending in "-ss" 
           singular: glass | plural: glasses

           VERB ending in "-ss"
           Present Simple Tense: 
           I, You, We, They > dress
           She, He, It > dresses  
           
Tip:
Listening to songs and watching movies in English can help you improve your vocabulary and pronunciation.
