British English and American English
A student is studying British English. He wonders: Can I have a talk with Americans? Can they catch
me? Learners of English often ask--what are the differences between British English and American
English? How important are these differences?
Certainly, there are some differences between British English and American English. There are a few
differences in grammar（语法）. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have
you a pen?” Americans “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?” Pronunciation (发音) is sometimes
different. Americans usually sound the “r” in words like “car”and “farm”. Some speakers of British English do not sound the “r” in these words. There are differences between British English and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour”and “honour” are British English spellings. “Color” and
"honor” are American English spellings.
These differences are in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary. However, they are not
important. For the most part, British English and American English are the same language.
