If you're someone with a less-than-perfect memory like me, you've probably already discovered the incredible power of mnemonics! Today, I'm thrilled to share with you a collection of fascinating mnemonic rules that are guaranteed to ignite your curiosity and make learning a breeze.
"I before E, except after C."
I bet you’ve heard this catchy phrase that helps to nail those tricky spelling patterns like in 'believe,' 'receive,' or 'ceiling'. However, there are exceptions like 'weird' and 'seize' or when it sounds like /EI/ as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh.'
“Never OPEN My Purse”
Struggling with adjective order? This handy rule guides you through the proper order of adjectives in a sentence: Number, opinion, physical condition, essentials (size, shape, age, color), nationality, material, and purpose.
“FANBOYS”
Remember the coordinating conjunctions: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So. These words, when used to connect two independent clauses (two complete thoughts), must be preceded by a comma.
"ROY G BIV"
Can you recall the colors of the rainbow? Simply think of this acronym: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. Granted, it’s not as vivid as the one we’ve got in Russian, is it?
🪐 "My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Noodles."
Ace the order of the planets in our solar system using this out-of-this-world mnemonic. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
