Sometimes we may hear from people that English is difficult (learn). I never thought about this until a small question from my little son changed (I) mind. He asked me whether ham was a hamburger, reminded me that there is no egg in eggplant. What a crazy language English is!
Here (be) some examples that make learners (confuse). We can sculpt a sculpture and paint a painting, but we take a photo.We can travel in the car but on the train. And (speak) of home, homework and housework don't refer the same thing.
What's more, the meanings of some words don't follow our logic. Why are "hard" and "soft" an opposite pair while "softly" and "hardly" are not? Why are "shameless" and "shameful" (behavior) the same?
No matter crazy English is, it is certain that the language was created by people and therefor it reflects their 65. (creative).
