Using the newspaper in order to learn expressions
Чет тили
Expressions add richness to all languages. Identify expressions as you read the newspaper. Use a special mark to identify them in articles. Many expressions may be divided so that component words of the expression are separated by non-component words. Try substituting other words while using the same expression. Say or write as many sentences using the expression as possible. To use an example, you may read a sentence in a newspaper which says, «The Governor announced Friday that he will not run for another term, putting to rest months of speculation about his future intentions.»
Most expressions can be used in different tenses with different people or things. For example, the expression «to put to rest» can be used in the present, «I want to put our disagreement to rest,» in the future, «He will put his argument to rest,» or in the past, «They finally put their rivalry to rest.» Notice that in the last phrase, the component parts of the expression are separated: «They finally put their rivalry to rest.»
