Abbreviations and acronyms | English writing lesson

In this English writing lesson, I teach you the 4 types of abbreviations: Initialisms, acronyms, shortenings and contractions.

I give you the list of the most common abbreviations of each type as well as the grammar rules. Notably you will learn when to use full stops (periods) and capital letters.

This video will also help English teachers with their lesson plans.

The accent is a British English accent but I also give the rules for American English.
