'Some went to Oxford' and 'some went to Cambridge', does not exclude the possibility that some didn't go to either. Bloodhound was seeking to clarify this ambiguity.

 

Since this is a thread on improving one's english it seems a reasonable, and important, clarification to make.

 

Still, we are all agreed - Monty Python, pretty good.

"pretty good" is probably the understatment of the century. but the brits have a way with understatements..

If you are asking someone a question, your voice goes up at the end.

 

If you are reading English, you pause slightly after a comma (,) You pause more after a period. (.)

 

Here is a link to Merriam Webster Online. I typed in the word "phonetics" which means how a word is pronounced. If you click on the red microphone, you can hear it spoken. This won't help you with entire sentences, but maybe it will help with individual words.
