THINK IN ENGLISH - FORMULA

A formula to "Think and Speak in English"

Learning to think in English in 6 easy steps...

Before learning how to think in English let's first see what is a thought.

A thought is actually a consciousness about a state, a possession or an action. For eg. I am in a conversation(State-S), I have an idea(Possession-P), I will do it(Action-A).

A state can be Present,Past or Future.

A possession can also be Present,Past or Future.

An action can also be Present,Past or Future.

Now in all these thoughts the subject is mentioned first. But we can also say in this way:

There is a meeting today. There are ten people working here. 

Here it is like an outside observation or a comment about the subject. We can say it is of the type Objective Reality(R)

So in short any thought can be expressed as S P A R ie., State,Possession,Action and Reality.

This is the formula to think in English.

Now an interaction in all different ways of State, Possession, Action and Reality to express our thoughts.
