English Expression Using the Words What and How

“What” and “how” are usually used to express a question. But in this session we will learn English expression showing our amazement by using those words. See and check the difference:

“What is your name?” (Question)
“What a beautiful name!” (Expression)


“How are you today?” (Question)
“How beautiful it is!” (Expression) or you can say:
“What a beautiful day it is!”
“What a beautiful day!” (it’s commonly used)

You got it? Well, let’s see the difference using between what and how in the expression.

“What a charming girl she is!” It means she is a charming girl and you are amazed.
Also you can say like this:
“How charming she is!”
“What a charming girl!”
“How charming the girl!”
“How charming she is!”

You can’t say: “What charming the girl!”

Yesterday I met my girl friend and I admired her like this: “What a beautiful girl you are, My Sweetheart! You know the more I see you the more I love you!”
Ha ha ha

Money Talks

They often say that money talks. Can money talk like human beings? ..No..It doesn’t. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. Everything is near at hand. Need a car? A house? Or anything? They with a lot of money can gain those easily. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.

Yes..if you want to gain a lot of money, do business. Although it is a jungle out there. It means that there’s unknown dangers out there in a business that threaten the survival of business. And also they must be aware of being ripped off, means stolen or at least has been treated very unfairly.

Perhaps the best way to prevent getting ripped off in business is to not try to get rich quickly. To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks.
This expression means to get to the bottom or most important part of something. For example, a salesman may talk and talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, "it sounds good, but how much does it cost."

So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can prevent rip-offs of earning money in that jungle out there. And, some good luck will help, too.
