What is an undergraduate degree?


Hey there!

 Well, if you are learning English language, it's always necessary understanding terms, expressions, words, idioms, inter alia, that ostensibly don't look like they are going to help you out in the future--but one never knows what tomorrow brings :-). Many people may think that the concept of learning something that seemingly is not going to give you any fruit is a waste of time, but, trust me, people are never 100% sure of what is concrete in this earth in learning English as yet. So, we should try new techniques to master or improve it. 
  • THE WORD IS: UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE


 An undergraduate degree is a colloquial term for an academic degree earned by a person who has completed undergraduate courses.

The most common type of these undergraduate degrees are associate's degree and bachelor's degree. Bachelor's degree typically takes at least three or four years to complete.

Difference between STUDENT and PUPIL.

Pupil vs Student These two words are confusing for English learners as they mean the same and, often times, are wrongly i nterchangeably used. Today, I am going to break them down to you so that you can understand their  intrinsic  difference. A  pupil  is described as a person or learner who is enrolled in an educational institution or school.

What are transitive verbs?

To firstly understand what transitive verbs are, we have to understand what a DIRECT OBJECT is, because throughout the explanation process, we shall include direct objects as a way of breaking down ( clearing up ) the understanding of transitive verbs. So, what is a direct object in grammar? Direct Object or simply “ D.O ” is either a noun ( Jeff, Rosanna, Carlos, bag, squirrel… ), pronoun ( me, her, him... ) or a  noun phrase ( the cars, the yellow mango, that umbrella my grandfather purchased in December... ) that identifies what or who receives an action of a transitive verb. Now that we all already understand what an O.D is, it’s time to go back to the definition of what a transitive verb might be. Transitive verbs are verbs; of course; that accept direct objects.
