I liken this to a prompter that assists you in preparing your words prior to verbally communicating them. It could be software based or simply you recording yourself and playing that recording back to yourself and critiquing what you hear. This software I believe will try and "type" out the words for you and that speeds up the process since you can use that text and pass it through other checks say, a thesaurus to see other likely words to use and the like.
Unfortunately, they don't have a trial version available hence my call to Dear Santa to remember me this xmas.
On how it is used, I believe you just need a computer with a microphone facility either built in (most laptops will have this, or a headset for PCs) or externally installed. Once you fire up the application, it will ready itself to record on your command anything you say, transcribing it as you progress. You will be able to playback the voice and the application will highlight the words in the sentense for you.
BTW: In my reply, I am intentionally introducing words that you might need to lookup, but hope their context assist you in building that crucial range of vocabulary.
Leh I am waiting for the directions on how to acces e-book:A S cry:I will appriciate if you will give me those directions on how to acces dictionary and e-books.Most of the time I am using a computer.
Thanks alot Reginald12. I have nothing to say lather than to thank you all JF members for your courage ,advice,and support that you are continuing to give me.Ipromise to never let you down.I will keep on practising.Have a good day
Very good construction Mama Wawili. I will just make a few corrections that really are minor slips.
Thanks a lot Reginald12. I have nothing to say other than to thank all you JF members for your courage, advice and the support that you continue to give me. I promise to never let you down. I will keep on practising. Have a good day!
The sentence ''I will just make a few corrections that really are minor slips'' has a total defective syntax. Corrections are always expected to be perfect versions of what appears to a person offering them as a slip. So a subject who supplies revisions for a faulty work that are themselves erroneous is hardly dependable.
Thanks Radhia. I assumed that with the context understood and the sentence not in isolation, omitting some structures was not a crime. Now let me go sulk! :A S cry:
Hi JF,
Honestly your advice,comments and encouragement have added something in my mind.When I started implimenting some of you comments about read (reading)more english articles, talk and talk English and listen English news at the beggining("in the beginning", referring to a period in time not a place) it was so difficult and sometimes I lose the confidence(I lose confidence, refer the use of definite article "the") to speak infront(inspacefront=in front) of people,as time goes on I see myself gaining confidence and improving my poor English.
Most of my friends and office mates are very supportive.They chat with me via English language"(naomba msaada hapa wana jamvi matumizi ya "via" yako sahihi?) though not most of the time.They correct me were(where/when/whenever) I am wrong .Real those advice works.
Iam begging you(consider using "I beg you") all my teacher(teachers) never get tired with me I will be improving day by day and you will be blessed
Regalds(regards)
Congratulation.I see you improving and the number of mistakes is going down compared to previous days.I tried to highlight the words/statement I see as having grammatical error.
A bonus for you.Kwa maneno ambayo unakuwa huna uhakika wa past tense yake ikoje huwa tunatumia "did' just before the verb.
eg. I went to the marked yesterday= I did go to the market yesterday
I spoke to Juma last week=I did speak to Juma last week.
Si mbaya kwa pale unapokuwa huna uhakika wa past tense ukatumia hii wakati unajiandaa for the next episode.
Thanks
Please read between lines may be we will on the same page.I did not write about the auxiliary verb "do" I did explain how someone not competent with the past tense of a certain verb can make use of "did" while finding out what the real past tense is.Note the knowledge level of a person you are dealing with matters when it comes to education.For you I think you have some knowledge on the language but not everyone can see what you have seen.From primary to o-level we were taught that the sun is stationary,in a-level we were taught the sun is moving.One step at a time no need to rush,it is not necessary to understand me now you may understand me even after one week or a month it is acceptable in learning especially when there is no exams.I am afraid you're totally off the mark in stating that ''did,'' which is a past-tense form of an auxillary verb ''do,'' can be combined with a base form of any action verb to work just as a past-tense of that verb. You've proclaimed particulary that we can cheerfully write or say ''I did go to the market yesterday'' in place of ''I went to the market yesterday'' and ''I did speak to Juma last week'' in place of ''I spoke to Juma last week.'' But as far as I am concerned, we can perfectly apply such an auxillary verb when we want to make questions or when we want to make negative statements. Examples are here on how two forms of an auxillary verb, ''do'' and ''did,'' are legitimately employed: ''Do you like to watch movies?'' (do correctly used to make a question) and ''I didn't intend to hurt her'' (did correctly used to make a negative statement).
In addition to those two major applications, forms of ''do'' are useful in explaining similarity and differences in conjunction with ''so'' and ''neither'' as in ''My wife hates spinach, and so does my daughter'' or ''I don't like watching Nigerian movies; neither do my parents.''
I hope this explanation of mine has fairly helped you to be conversant with the precise and genuine usefulness of forms of ''do'' in our written or spoken English.

I go to the market yesterday(huyu ataonekana ni tatizo sana)
I did go to the market yesterday(huyu walau ataeleweka)
That is what I tried to explain only if past tense huijui nasisitiza.I appreciate your opinion.
The way I see it
Again thanks for your opinion.There are only three types of auxillary verbs in the English language, namely verb forms of ''have,'' ''do,'' and ''be.'' All of them are used in conjunction with the ''main verb'' in a sentence to form what is known as a ''verb phrase.'' A verb phrase, for your information, is exactly what is represented by ''did go'' in your sentence ''I did go to the market yesterday.'' I can only infer that either you're a type of person given to argue for the sake of arguing or you're a type of person who doesn't know what he or she is talking about.
