🚀 The main difference between British English and American English is in pronunciation. Some words are also different in each variety of English, and there are also a few differences in the way they use grammar. Here are five of the most common grammatical differences between British and American English.
👽1⃣.
Present perfect and past simpleIn British English, people use the present perfect to speak about a past action that they consider relevant to the present.
🔸المضارع التام والماضي البسيط👈في الإنجليزية البريطانية ، يستخدم الناس المضارع التام للتحدث عن فعل سابق يعتبرونه ذا صلة بالحاضر.
🪐British English :
🇬🇧 🔆He isn't hungry. He has already had lunch.
- Have you done your homework yet?
- Yes, I've just finished it.
🪐The present perfect can be used in the same way in American English, but people often use the past simple when they consider the action finished. This is especially common with the adverbs already, just and yet.
يمكن استخدام المضارع التام بنفس الطريقة في اللغة الإنجليزية الأمريكية ، ولكن غالبا ما يستخدم الناس
الماضي البسيط عندما يعتبرون أن الإجراء قد انتهى. هذا شائع بشكل خاص مع الظروف بالفعل ، فقط وحتى الآن.
🪐American English🔆He isn't hungry. He already had lunch.
🔆Did you do your homework yet?
🔆Yes, I just finished it.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖👽2⃣ Got and GottenIn British English, the past participle of the verb get is
got.
🪐In American English, people say
gotten.
🌌Note that have got is commonly used in both British and American English to speak about possession or necessity. have gotten is not correct here.
🪐British English
You could have got hurt!
He's got very thin.
She has got serious about her career.
#BUT:
Have you got any money?
We've got to go now.
🪐American English
You could have gotten hurt!
He's gotten very thin.
She has gotten serious about her career.
🐈BUT:
Have you got any money? (NOT Have you gotten ...)
We've got to go now. (NOT We've gotten to ...)

3⃣Verb forms with collective nouns
🪐In British English, a singular or plural verb can be used with a noun that refers to a group of people or things (a collective noun). We use a plural verb when we think of the group as individuals or a singular verb when we think of the group as a single unit.
🌟In American English, a singular verb is used with collective nouns.
🌌 Note that police is always followed by a plural verb.
🪐British English
My family is/are visiting from Pakistan.
My team is/are winning the match.
The crew is/are on the way to the airport.
#BUT:
The police
are investigating the crime.
🪐American EnglishMy family
is visiting from Pakistan.
My team
is winning the match.
The crew
is on the way to the airport.
#BUT:
The police
are investigating the crime.
➖➖➖➖➖➖4⃣have and take✅In British English, the verbs have and take are commonly used with nouns like bath, shower, wash to speak about washing and with nouns like break, holiday, rest to speak about resting.
🪐 #Example British English I'm going to have/take a shower.
Let's have/take a break.
2⃣ In American English, only the verb
take (and not the verb have) is used this way.
🪐 #Example American English
I'm going to take a shower.
Let's take a break.

5⃣ Shall🪐In British English, people often use Shall I ...? to offer to do something and/or Shall we ...? to make a suggestion.
🔰في الانجليزية البريطانية ، غالبا ما يستخدم الناس Shall I لاقتراح أن تفعل شيئا او لتقديم اقتراح.
🪐It is very unusual for speakers of American English to use shall. They normally use an alternative like
Should/Can I ...? or Do you want/Would you like ...? or How about ...? instead.
🔰 في الانجليزية الامريكية غيررشائع استخدامها يستخدمون بدالها
👆🪐British English 🔆It's hot in here. Shall I open the window?
🔆Shall we meet in the café at 5?
🔆Shall we try that again?
🪐American English
🔆It's hot in here.
Can I open the window?
🔆Do you want to meet in the café at 5?
🔆How about we try that again?
