CHAPTER 2<br />

Learning <strong>English</strong> is a process of mind-training and memory-developing.<br />

A learner is always required to think of a definition or a concept the other<br />

way round.<br />

The sun rose.<br />

The noun "sun" is the action doer and is called "subject". So a subject<br />

(action doer) is a noun. That is a noun can be the subject of a verb.<br />

To complete the thought, we say a verb has a noun in front. To put this in<br />

reverse order, we take any word or words sitting before a verb to be a<br />

noun (subject). Such a way of thinking back and forth about an idea<br />

marks the first step as the foundation stone toward mind-training to build<br />

up the knowledge of the language. In brief, a learner should approach<br />

<strong>English</strong> as an active thinker, not a thoughtless reader.<br />

With a trained mind we are able to write down an idea in different ways:<br />

I saw something strange.<br />

Something strange caught my eyes.<br />

There was something strange coming into my sight.<br />

Something strange was spotted by me.<br />
