you and they

 

We use you to talk about people in general including the speaker and the hearer:

You can buy this book anywhere > This book is on sale everywhere.
You can’t park here > Parking is not allowed here.
They don’t let you smoke in here > No smoking here

We use they or them to talk about people in general:

They serve good food here.
Ask them for a cheaper ticket.

… especially about the government and the authorities:

They don’t let you smoke in here.
They are going to increase taxes.
They are building a new motorway.
They say it’s going to rain tomorrow.

Why i must type a capital letter when i write the word english

Stephen Jones's picture

Hello H Yamen,
 
The word English, ​like all languages and nationalities, is a proper noun. We have a page about proper nouns here on the site. Give it a try if you, like many of the students I taught in Tunisia, are finding capitalisation difficult.
 
Just one other thing - with the increase in use of email and text messaging, many people forget or ignore the capital letter rules. So, you may see people around the web writing english ​instead of English. I would say that not only is this a bad habit, but it drives English teachers mad!
 
Regards,
