Why do i need to learn english in school?

Question

i mean i already know how 2 speak it but we have 2 spend like an hour each day on it.... i think that the only job where i will have to use sub-adjectives and participles is if i become an english teacher(which i will never do)

Answer 1

dont worry about it then. Sounds like you can already ask . Fries with that happy meal?

Answer 2

Let me give you an honest answer to this question that you may or may not like:

You need to learn English in school because you obviously can't write up a simple question without filling it with grammar errors. These errors matter! You will need to communicate in any job you end up taking, and in every one of these jobs you will be judged on your communication skill. If you write up something like the above question, you won't be taken seriously.

Let's go over your question:

1. Failed to capitalize 'i'
2. Failed to capitalize 'e' in English.
3. Failed again to capitalize 'i'... in fact I count 6 times.
4. Use of '2' instead of 'to'. This makes you look uneducated and saves you all of one keystroke. You do this twice.
5. 'spend like an hour each day on it.' This may work in spoken English but it's not correct, especially for written English. What part of speech is 'like' supposed to be?
6. Incorrect use of elipses ('...') to break up a sentence. This is lazy punctuation that's very popular in e-mails and instant messages, but is nontheless wrong.
7. No space before the open parenthesis.
8. No punctuation at the end of the sentence.

You may never have to LABEL a participle or an adjective (I've never even heard of a 'sub-adjective.' Are you making that up?) but you will have to USE them frequently. If you can't use them right, people will make judgements about you and your level of education. If you write like you did above when you turn in a cover letter for a resume, you'll never get a serious job. If you write like above when you send a boss or co-worker an e-mail, you'll never get respect.

Hopefully I didn't come off as being too harsh. My goal was to encourage you to study harder. You did, at least, spell everything properly. Good luck.

Answer 3

I believe you need to spend time with the English language to learn proper grammar, spelling, and to increase your vocabulary. Once you get into the real world and get a job, people will give you more respect if you speak intelligently. In my position I have to write proposals that many people within the company read and review, and then the customer also reads and reviews. I believe every job has some sort of paperwork or communication that needs to be done. So, if you want people to have a clear understanding of you, it is important to be able to express your meaning correctly.

cuz, u don't wanna be writing letters n stuff that sound like you're stupid or something man...

Answer 4

You don't learn English you learn English GRAMMAR! You're taught how the language is supposed to properly be used and why. And knowing proper english grammar is important in any and every job except low wage earning positions like McDonald's as the person before me said.
In High School and College you will have to write papers, in the business world you will have to write and all of the proper writing techniques must be learned and that is called English Grammar.

Answer 5

then don't go to school. many geniuses did just fine without. and then if your not a genious, you can always work at McD's.

OK, seriously, yes, when you want to get a job, your boss will want you to be able to speak and write good English. Get over it already, its school, it will make you better. Do you know that the American school system is easier than any other country? Even backwater African countries. American kids go to school there thinking it will be easier to get a degree, and they come home crying because of the amount of studying that is expected.

Answer 6

The earlier classes in English with the grammar and all are meant to prepare you for the fun stuff--English literature. Sometimes writers use English in new & interesting ways, and your grammar will help you understand early Modern English like Shakespeare or Middle English like Chaucer. It may be no fun now, but hearing what great writers have to say may interest you eventually.

Answer 7

If you are planning on doing any communication in the business world you also have to know how to write properly. You have to know when to capitalize a word such as i (I), 2 is spelled out to and you have to come across as an intelligent human being if you want anyone to take you seriously and not think you are a moron.

Answer 8

see there are many things in life, which we learn, or spend time on, and dont see the results soon, or think that they wont benefit us at all, but its not true.

learning english could appear to be a useless task, but believe it or not, one day you would realize that it was worth it! so dont panic, just be patience, and continue learning.. n try to take it easy... see if you wont make it a big deal, then it'll be a lil fun, to learn, but if you'll keep hating it, then it'll be hard for you, like the more you will dislike it, the more it'll bother you :)

so just chill ;)

Answer 9

Believe it or not, everybody from doctors to nurses to international businesspeople have to learn how to communicate in written and verbal form. In the near future, there will be fewer labor jobs and more service or business positions. Everyone will be judged on how well they communicate. And you don't want to look lame!

Answer 10

English is the biggest joke of a language and you would be better off not knowing how to speak it. the reason you do it is because your grades = graduation= $$$. Otherwise who the hell would care if it wasn't for more money.

Answer 11

it can also teach us to express more complex thoughts clearly and efficiently. You also do alot of writing exercises argument and persuasive essays. Poetry, storytelling and many other things that will help in any workplace as well as your daily life. There is a lot of subtlety and room for anyone to improve.
