Contraction
-
-
-
Non-Example 1
The word its is a possessive pronoun.
Since it does not have an
apostrophe, it is not a contraction.
Both of these examples are contractions because they start as two words before being shortened to only one word with an apostrophe.
Non-Example 2
The words their and there are often confused with the contraction they're (they are).
Both their and there do not have apostrophes and are not two words combined to form a shortened word, so they are not contractions.
-
Bilingualism
-
-
-
-
-
While we both know a few phrases in Spanish, we are not close to being fluent in speaking, writing, or communicating in the Spanish language.
-
Clause
-
Example 1 - Independent Clause
Andrew ate pasta.
This is an independent clause because it has a subject (Andrew) and a predicate (ate pasta) and it makes sense on its own as a sentence.
Example 2 - Dependent Clause
after he arrived home.
This is a dependent clause because it has a subject (he) and a predicate (arrived home), but it does not make sense on its own as a sentence.
Non-Example 1
The phrase after breakfast is not a clause because it only has a noun, no verb or predicate.

-
Language Ego
-
Example 1
A British English speaker is fluent in speaking Spanish, but they still have a British accent.
This shows language ego because it tells people that this person is from England.
Example 2

This shows language ego because it tells people that this person is from somewhere that has a primary language of Spanish (i.e. Mexico, Spain).
Non-Example 1
An English speaker learning Spanish tries to roll their "r" sounds.
This is not language ego because the person is trying to learn/acquire a new language.
Non-Example 2

This is not language ego because it is not an important part of the person's identity.
