mortgaged to the hilt; I want something badly”). • BBI also teaches you how to combine words into structures to form clauses and sentences (so you can say “I

want you to go = What I want is for you to go”). • So BBI helps you with both vocabulary and grammar.

• BBI shows you important vocabulary and grammatical differences between American and British English.

• BBI gives you plenty of examples that can serve as models for your own use of English.
