Lesson 19
Everyone likes to feel welcome,
but "welcome" is one of the
many words that English-
learners often misuse. We
conclude the "Better Writing
Study Guide" by looking at
many of these terms, as well
as how to express feelings in
Enelish.
    In pari four of this study guide, we look at a number of words that confuse English-
learners and their readers. First, you will learn about the different ways to use since, like
and as. Next, 'we take a look at the special verb structures needed to express how we feel.
You will also examine common "Chinglish" mistakes that result from the clash of your
first and second languages. Finally, we study several sets of related terms that are often
:used inappropriately.
    Remember that the "Better Writing Study Guide" (you will find G 1-15 in other lessons) is
supposed to be a reference tool that's handy when you need lt, not a set of rules that you need

     Many English-learners think that since, because and as are interchangeable; some believe that
like and as are both used the same way. This section will help yuu see the differences between these
commonly misused terms.
G16a. Using since
(A) Since... = "From the time of  "When you start a dependent clause with "Since...", expect
    your readers to think you mean "From the time o...", unless you give clues to indicate that
    you mean because. To remove ambiguity and make it clear that you are talking about time,
    informal sentences can start with "Ever since. " but this is sometimes too informal for

    business or academic writing. You can also help your reader by putting a comma after your
    time clause, followed by the subject plus a perfect-tense verb (e.g., "Since April, we have
    noticed..."; "Since the party, he has felt..."; "Since Mary graduated, she has been...")
