Attributive clause in this text
Read the passage and find four ways in which British and American English are different.
There are hundreds of different words which are not used on the other side of the Atlantic, or which are used with a different meaning.
Sometimes the same word has a slightly different meaning, which can be confusing.
The chips /\ the British know and love are French fries on the other side of the Atlantic.
The other two areas in which the two varieties differ are spelling and pronunciation.
The accent, which is most similar to British English, can be heard on the East Coast of the US.
When the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw made the famous remark that the British and the Americans are two nations divided by a common language, he was obviously thinking about the differences.
An American word that British people don’t use
A British word that Americans don’t use
An American expression which British people don’t use
A word which had a different meaning on the other side of the Atlantic
Thanks to the work of Noah Webster, a teacher who graduated from Yale University in 1778.
Webster is best known for his American Dictionary of the English Language, which first appeared in 1828.
Other kind of clauses
The British use prepositions where Americans sometimes omit them.
Americans use a flashlight, while for the British, it’s a torch.
But it has also led to lots of American words and structures passing into British English, so that some people now believe that British English will disappear.
However, if you turn on CNN, the American TV network, you find newsreaders and weather forecasters all speaking with different accents----American , British, Australian, and even Spanish.
This international dimension suggests that in the future, there are going to be many “Englishes”,not just two main varieties.
