(1)past simple/past participlesn dream dreamt or dreamedn lean leant or leanedn learn learnt or learnedn smell smelt or smelledn spell spelt or spelledn spill spilt or spilledn burn burnt or burned (2) prepositionsn american english - on the weekendbritish english - at the weekendn american english - on a teambritish english - in a teamn american english - please write me soonbritish english - please write to me soon secondary, the difference is pronunciation. sometimes we usually soften or dont read the vowel (especially the or i ) in the unstressed syllable out in british english, while we should read all vowels out in the american english. so americans speak more slowly and clearly than the british people. differences in pronunciation between american english (ame) and british english (bre) can be divided into:n differences in accent (i.e. phoneme inventory and realisation). see differences between general american and received pronunciation for the standard accents in the united states and britain; for information about other accents see regional accents of english speakers. n differences in the pronunciation of individual words in the lexicon (i.e. phoneme distribution). in this article, transcriptions use received pronunciation (rp) to represent bre and general american (gam) and to represent ame.(1) :when the letter “ a ” comes before -s, -f, -th, -lf, -ph, -n , etc. we pronounce in am.e , while : in br.e.本论文由英语论文网提供整理,提供论文代写,英语论文代写,代写论文,代写英语论文,代写留学生论文,代写英文论文,留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。(2): : when the vowel letter “ o ” comes after a stressed closed syllable in a plosive , we usually pronounce it in the standard br.e , while : in ar.e .(3) we pronounce i l or l in ar.e while ail in br.e when the words end with ile . (4) u: ju : americans pronounce u: while british people ju: when “ u ” and “ new ” come aftern-, d-, t- etc. (5) i: ai : we pronounce the monogram “ ei ” i: in am.e while ai: in br.e .(6)even though the same word , there are some pronunciation differences in am.e and br.e . thirdly, the difference is spelling. in the united states development of language, spelling have occurred in a similar movement of our simplified characters (the simplified spelling movement), delete the word spelling in some of the letters are not pronounced. (1) the aphonic suffix such as -me, -ue in the english words are deleted in the american spelling. n kilogramme kilogramn programme programn catalogue catalog n dialogue dialog n prologue prolog(2) there are “our” at the end of the words and the aphonic letter “u” is deleted in the american spelling.n behaviour behavior n colour color n honour honor n labour labor (3) the suffix “re” which is read become “er”.n centre center n fibre fiber n metre meter n theatre theater (4) the suffix “ence” which is read ns become “ense”.n defence defense n offence offensen licence license n pretence pretense (5)the suffix “ise” becomes”ize” .n criticise criticize n organize organize n realise realizen recognise recognize n standardise standardize (6) double “l” in the british english words becomes “l” in the american english wordsn councilor councilor n counsellor counselor n jeweller jeweler n marvellous marvelous n parcelled parceled n travelling traveling (7) someone else.n cheque check n gaol jail n kerb curb n moustache mustache n plough plow n pyjamas pajamas n skeptical skeptical n erarer rubber fourthly, the difference is grammar.(1) use of present perfect tense and simple past tense. speakers of american english generally use the present perfect tense (have/has + past participle) far less than speakers of british english. in spoken american english it is very common to use the simple past tense as an alternative in situations where the present perfect would usually have been used in british english.(2) verb agreement with collective nouns. in british english collective nouns, (i.e. nouns referring to particular groups of people or things), (e.g. staff , government, class, team) can be followed by a singular or plural verb depending on whether the group is thought of as one idea, or as many individuals , e.g.: my team is winning. the other team is all sitting down.in american english collective nouns are always followed by a singular verb, so an american would usually say: which team is losing?whereas in british english both plural and singular forms of the verb are possible, as in:which team is/are losing?(3) past tense forms.below is a table showing verbs which have different simple past and past participle forms in american and british english. note that the irregular past forms burnt, dreamt and spoilt are possible in american english, but less common than the forms ending in -ed.infinitivesimple past (br)simple past (am)past participle (br)past participle (am)burnburned/burntburned/burntburned/burntburned/burntbustbustbustedbustbusteddivediveddove/diveddiveddiveddreamdreamed/dreamtdreamed/dreamtdreamed/dreamtdreamed/dreamtgetgotgotgotgottenleanleaned/leantleanedleaned/leantleanedlearnlearned/learntlearnedlea
