Liberalism? Conservative? What do these really mean?
Wow...good job! Pretty much sums it up and yeah...prepare to be attacked with namecalling. I'm sure they are on their way!
Which of the following was a major characteristic of the English monarchy in the eighteenth century?
Here is your source for your answer, but I don't have time to read carefully enough to choose a,b,c,d,or e. I'm pretty sure it is not a. I'm leaning toward c or d. Here's your most effective way of searching a webpage: 1. look at your browser toolbar for the word Find (there should be a magnifying glass beside it). 2. click on this button 3. a search box will appear on your webpage (mine appears at the bottom left corner). 4. type in the word characteristic, and read around the 'found' word for proof or disproof of your answer choice. 5. You will find the term several times. If you are still unsure between two answers, then try a different, more specific search term. Good luck! I'm sure that your background knowledge will enable you to find the answer more quickly than I can! PLEASE let me know what the right answer is. I am curious now! Edit your post, or email me!
Which language is more useful to learn: French or German?
You can't go wrong. I have studied both, I taught French for years, and I have traveled using both French and German. They are both big, important languages in Europe. French is one of the three official languages used in North America, along with English and Spanish. In addition, French is widely used in Africa, and also used to some extent on every continent, and on scattered islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, although it is less important in Southeast Asia than it used to be. German is widely used in Central and Eastern Europe. I think they are about equally hard to learn to pronounce. Both have r-sounds unlike anything in English; both have front-rounded vowels, which are a challenge for speakers of English; German has the ich and ach sounds that English lacks, and the rhythms of French are quite different from English or German. In grammar, the verbs of French are more complicated with more tenses and more conjugated forms than German, while in German the pronouns, nouns and adjectives are more complicated because their form and the form of their articles changes depending on whether they are used in a sentence as subject, direct object, indirect object, or possessive. Many German nouns have irregular plurals, as well.English is a Germanic language, and shows its relationship to German in many basic words, such as licht 'light,' Sonne 'sun,' Mond 'moon,' Stern 'star,' Hand, Finger, Fuss 'foot,' Haar 'hair.' However, English actually has much vocabulary in common with French, because the Norman French conquered England in 1066 and imposed their vocabulary in government, warfare, abstract thought, and many other areas.
