| LIN203H1 English Words [24L/12T] |
LGGB18H3 | LIN203H5 | English has a rich vocabulary. We will learn how it has developed over time, and investigate aspects of the meaning and pronunciation of words. Most of all, we will study how words are put together, so that students will be able to recognize and analyze unfamiliar words. | |
| LIN204H1 English Grammar [24L/12T] |
LINB18H3 | LIN204H5 | How the English language works: students analyze a wide variety of English grammatical structures and learn how they vary across dialects and change through time. | |
