December 2006 Archives

Since the end of 2004, we have recorded how many entries we have in some of the sections of our site, which means that we can see how much progress we have made in our reference section, quizzes, etc, since then.

In addition to continuing to work on the established sections of the site, we hope that the Reading Comprehension section, which is new, will grow into a useful resource. We will be working on the Text Analyser a lot and have already started making improvements to the Members' Area full version of it. We also plan to start including sound files to add listening tools to the site in 2007.

2006 saw a huge growth in the numbers of people using the site, and we would like to thank you all and hope to continue to improve the site to make it a better English language resource. We also welcome all feedback, both positive and negative, as this will help us to focus on your needs.

In English, nouns are divided between the singular and plural form. To make a noun plural, an 's' is usually added to the singular but there are several exceptions to the rule.
