Theme: Apostrophes
Apostrophes
We use an apostrophe
to show a contraction or possession.
We use an apostrophe to show where there
are missing letters in contractions.
It's
raining. (It's = It is)
Don't
worry, it won't rain. (Don't = Do not; won't = will not)
She
can't drive because she's broken her leg. (can't = cannot;
she's = she has)
I'd
like a coffee, please. (I'd = I would)
You'll
be fine. (You'll = You will)
** Note that it's is a
contraction of it is or it has. its is
a possessive form of the pronoun it.
The dog
is chasing its tail.
Are you sure it's OK for me
to ring you so early?
It's rained a lot this week.
We also use an apostrophe with the letter s after
a noun (normally a person, animal or group) to show that the noun owns
someone or something.
My cat's
favourite toy is a small, red ball.
Sadiq's parents live in
Liverpool.
South
Korea's economy is growing.
We use 's when the possessor
is singular.
Marie's
mother is going to Hong Kong.
We also use 's when the possessor
is a plural noun that does not end in s.
The
People's Republic of China
My cousin writes children's
books.
When a plural noun ends in s,
we put the apostrophe after the s (s').
This is a
picture of my parents' house.
Our friend's new car is red.
She just got it yesterday.
Our friends' new car is red.
They just got it yesterday.
When a singular noun ends in s,
we generally use 's.
James's
brother-in-law is German.
He has a collection of
Dickens's novels.

Theme: Capitalisation
Capitalisation
There
are lots of times when you need to use capital letters – for example, to start
a sentence or for the pronoun I. Here are some other important
rules for using them.
Days, months and
holidays
We
capitalise days of the week, months and festivals, but not seasons.
His birthday party is on
Thursday.
Schools are closed at Christmas.
It rains a lot in April and May, but the summer is very dry.
Names of people and
places
We
capitalise the names of people and places, including streets, planets,
continents and countries.
Bea Jankowski has lived
on Church Street in Manchester for 20 years.
The Earth is the third planet from the Sun.
Russia is in both Europe and Asia.
Words
that come from the names of places – for example languages, nationalities
and adjectives that refer to people or things from a country, region or city –
are capitalised. We also capitalise nouns and adjectives that come from the
names of religions.
Some Canadians speak
French.
Londoners eat a lot of Indian food.
Most Muslims fast during the day for Ramadan.
Titles and names of
institutions
The
names of organisations and usually the important words in book and film titles
are capitalised. When a person's job title goes before their name, capitalise
both. If the title is separate from their name, capitalise only their name.
Salome Zourabichvili,
the president of Georgia, is visiting President Alvi tomorrow.
The chief executive officer lives in New York.
We are reading War and Peace with Ms Ioana, our
teacher.

Theme: The legend of fairies
(1) Fairies today are the stuff of children's stories, little magical people with wings, often shining with light. Typically pretty and female, like Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, they usually use their magic to do small things and are mostly friendly to humans.
(2) We owe many of our modern ideas about fairies to Shakespeare and stories from the 18th and 19th centuries. Although we can see the origins of fairies as far back as the Ancient Greeks, we can see similar creatures in many cultures. The earliest fairy-like creatures can be found in the Greek idea that trees and rivers had spirits called dryads and nymphs. Some people think these creatures were originally the gods of earlier, pagan religions that worshipped nature. They were replaced by the Greek and Roman gods, and then later by the Christian God, and became smaller, less powerful figures as they lost importance.
(3) Another explanation suggests the origin of fairies is a memory of real people, not spirits. So, for example, when tribes with metal weapons invaded land where people only used stone weapons, some of the people escaped and hid in forests and caves. Further support for this idea is that fairies were thought to be afraid of iron and could not touch it. Living outside of society, the hiding people probably stole food and attacked villages. This might explain why fairies were often described as playing tricks on humans. Hundreds of years ago, people actually believed that fairies stole new babies and replaced them with a 'changeling' – a fairy baby – or that they took new mothers and made them feed fairy babies with their milk.
(4) While most people no longer believe in fairies, only a hundred years ago some people were very willing to think they might exist. In 1917, 16-year-old Elsie Wright took two photos of her cousin, nine-year-old Frances Griffiths, sitting with fairies. Some photography experts thought they were fake, while others weren't sure. But Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the Sherlock Holmes detective stories, believed they were real. He published the original pictures, and three more the girls took for him, in a magazine called The Strand, in 1920. The girls only admitted the photos were fake years later in 1983, created using pictures of dancers that Elsie copied from a book.

Theme: Irregular verbs.
Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the normal patterns for tense and past participle.
An irregular verb is one that does
not form its simple past tense or its past participle by adding
"-ed" or "-d" to the base form. Irregular verbs
contrast with regular verbs, which form the simple past tense and past
participle by adding "-ed" or "-d."
Are the sentences true or false?

Monday, the 31st of January
Theme: Subject, Predicate, Object.
What
is a predicate?
In
traditional grammar, a sentence consists of two parts:
§
and a predicate which states something
about the subject
Consider the following
sentence:
§ Bill likes soccer.
An object in grammar is a
part of a sentence, and often part of the predicate. It
refers to someone or something involved in the subject's
"performance" of the verb. It is what the verb is being done to. As
an example, the following sentence is given:
Subject |
Verb |
Object |
Leila |
wrote |
the poem |
§
"Leila"
is the subject, the doer or performer,
§
"wrote"
is a verb that refers to the action,
§
"the
poem" is the object involved in the action.
A direct object answers the question "what?"
or "who?"
Examples:
§ David repaired his
car → his car is the direct
object of the verb repaired. (
What did David repair?)
§ He invited Mary to
the party → Mary is the direct
object of the verb invited. (Who
did he invite?)
An indirect object answers the question "to
whom?", "for whom?"
An indirect object is the recipient of the direct
object, or an otherwise affected participant in the event. There must be a
direct object for an indirect object to be placed in a sentence. In other words
an indirect object cannot exist without a direct object.
Examples:
§ They sent him a postcard - him is
the indirect object of the verb sent. (To whom did
they send a postcard?)
§ He bought his son a bike - his
son is the indirect object of the
verb bought. (For whom did he buy a
bike?)
