What do people think, «grown up» in classical grammar of seeing such a proposal: He shouldn't have done it Or is it: Where does she live, that girl? Most likely, he or she will think that it is completely incorrect deductions in the first case and a lack of knowledge of word order in the second. But this is not true. The truth is that modern English is extremely rich, not just lexical, and grammatical structures. And although these are not the norm, they do reflect the modern language trends and how many people actually say.
It should be noted that the signs see all used English grammar would be difficult within an article. Therefore, we offer you the first part of a series of articles on the topic. Here we study the following: reducing contraction shortcomings ellipsis insert insert a start and a preface and tag
Contraction
Contraction - cut. This phenomenon is quite common and is evident in most cases. For example, can't = cannot don't = do not I'm = I am and m D. It is known that the reduction of -. normal, i.e. E., Their uses are not in conflict with the general rules established by grammar. According to the «talk policy,» we can combine with modal auxiliaries, even with negative particles not
Mike has not known about it.
Mike has never known about it.
Mike can't know about it.
You shouldn't have gone there.
You shouldn't have gone there.
Don't go there.
Colloquially, we can also use a reduction in the presence of topics, expressed by several nouns.

Ellipsis
Ellipsis-the shortcomings of any part of the text or grammar. This phenomenon is quite popular in colloquial speech as "saving" the words, and consequently - making it even better to speak. Ellipsis is the lowering of words in a conversation, if the statement is preserved. Most often, such shortcomings occur in the words at the beginning of the proposal or not far from it.
Insert
Insert - enter a word or expression that is used in speech (but not writing) and performs several communicative functions (thinking aloud, emphasis, unity etc. D.). Inserting common speech speech is more efficient and logical.
Insertions can be used not only in speech, but also in the audience for a specific purpose.
Preface and tag. Introduction and tags
Preface -. Introduction word or phrase Tag - word (phrase) following basic statements. Both scenarios are used to make sure that listeners should go to our thoughts, to understand what we are saying.
