As we are all aware of the fact that English as a language has a rich heritage and a long history. It is believed to have originated from the Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain by the Germanic invaders or settlers from various parts of north-west Germany and the Netherlands. The Modern English language that we speak, read or write today has undergone extensive changes in the Middle Ages and has been completely transformed with a vast and rich vocabulary which is completely different from its origin in the yesteryears. It has become diverse with words and phrases of other languages, like American, French, Spanish, etc., incorporating into this language making it all the more vast and complicated.
The Modern English of today has innumerable idioms, phrases, proverbs, one-word substitutes, antonyms, synonyms, homophones, homonyms, prefixes, sufixes and acronyms (abbreviations), all of which have been elaborately discussed in this book. Hence, it is a must read for students of all ages, particularly the school going ones.

Preface
English Vocabulary made Easy' is a book designed for those who want to enrich their vocabulary; increase their self-awareness in speaking and writing the English language.
