There is an old saying that America and Britain are "Two nations divided by a common language．" Are American and British English really so different？
    Vocabulary
    The biggest difference between American and British English is vocabulary．In their everyday lives，there are many different words．For example，Americans eat cookies，while British people eat biscuits．
    Collective Nouns （集合名詞）
    There are some grammatical differences，such as the use of collective nouns．Americans would say，"The team is good．" But people in the UK might say， "The team are good" or "The team is good．"
    Auxiliary Verbs （助動(dòng)詞）
    Another grammatical difference is about auxiliary verbs．Look at the auxiliary verb shall．British people sometimes use shall to express the future．For example，"I shall go home now．" Americans seldom use it in their conversations．They would use "I will go home now．"
    Past Tense Verbs
    Americans like to use the -ed ending，while British people like to use the -t ending．For example，in American English，the past tense of learn is learned．But in British English，it is learnt．
    Tag Questions
    What is a tag question？Here are two examples， "The weather is fine，isn't it？" or， "You don't like him，do you？" Americans use tag questions less often than British people．
    Spelling
    We can find differences in the American spelling of words like humor（from humour）．Americans give up the letter u to make the spelling match the pronunciation （發(fā)音）．
    British and American English have more similarities than differences．Most Americans and British people can understand each other easily．
