I'm afraid most parents have been told by customer service teachers when consulting online English institutions. Do you want your children to learn British English or American English? Confused, most parents may think that American English is spoken by Americans and British English is naturally spoken by British people. This general understanding is correct. I told my parents before that American English and British English have different pronunciations, so is there a grammatical difference between them?

In fact, there are differences in idioms between British English and American English. Mainly reflected in prepositions, tenses, singular and plural, verb past tense and so on. This is caused by different usage habits in Britain and America.

First, prepositions. The way Americans speak has influenced British English through popular culture, and vice versa. Therefore, the differences between some prepositions are not as obvious as before. In some phrases or idioms, American English and British English have different prepositions, such as on weekends, around midnight, on buses, etc. In addition, American English uses definite articles before some place nouns that express abstract concepts, but British English does not, such as: be in the hospital/ go to the university/ go to college, etc. However, in some idioms expressing time, American English does not use definite articles, but British English uses them, such as: all morning/ whole morning, the day after tomorrow/the day after tomorrow, etc.

Second, nervous. American English tends to use the simple past tense to describe what just happened, while British English prefers to use the present perfect tense to describe what just happened in the past. So have and have got are the same meaning, indicating? what's up Americans use it more, and British people use it more. Adding to is the same.

Third, verbs. As we all know, there are regular verbs and irregular verbs in English. In spoken language, the subtle differences between regular verbs and irregular verbs are easily overlooked, but they will be more obvious in written form. In Britain, the past tense of many verbs is irregular (jumped, dreamtt, burn, learn), but in America they are regular verbs (jumped, dream, burn, learn).

Take it specifically? Get? Take this word for example, in Britain, with? Got it? As? Get? Will the past participle form of ""be considered old-fashioned and used a long time ago? Understand? To replace? Got it? Yes However, in America, people still use? Got it? As? Get? Past participle of.

The above are the grammatical differences between British English and American English, but parents need not worry that the differences between British English and American English will affect their children's normal study. Professional foreign teachers hired by regular online English institutions teach in accordance with the standard English written in the textbook. For example, the training institutions use the British Everybody Up textbook and Pearson Longman series textbooks, so parents can choose different learning materials for their children according to their own needs.
