How to learn English Grammar
This document discusses basic English grammar. It begins by defining grammar as the systematic set of rules and structure of a language. There are two methods for learning grammar: using language and learning rules one by one. Grammar tells us how to structure sentences and the order words should be in. Studying fundamental grammar is important for developing strong speaking, reading and writing skills, but should be a tool rather than an end in itself. The document provides tips for studying grammar assignments, such as reading directions and examples carefully before attempting the work. It concludes with a grammar pre-test featuring questions on verb tenses.

English clauses for grades ninth and tenth
This document discusses clauses and the different types of clauses that can be found in sentences. It defines a clause as a group of words containing a subject and a verb that forms a sentence or part of a sentence. There are two main types of clauses: principal clauses and subordinate clauses. Principal clauses can stand alone as a complete sentence, while subordinate clauses depend on another clause to complete their meaning. Examples of sentences with different clause structures are provided to illustrate dependent clauses, principal clauses, and coordinate clauses. Students are assigned homework to write sentences containing multiple clauses.
Level 2 lesson_13_grammar
This document provides grammar notes on using the te-form of adjectives in Japanese sentences and counting months in Japanese.

Module 2A
This document discusses recognizing sentence fragments and the characteristics of complete sentences. It notes that a complete sentence must have a subject and predicate, make sense on its own, and start with a capital letter and end with proper punctuation. It then asks if "To the sandy beach" is a complete sentence, suggesting it lacks a subject or predicate and thus is a fragment. The document directs the reader to answer questions about sentence fragments and completeness in a Schoology quiz.
Simple, Compound, and Complex tenses
This document discusses simple, compound, and complex sentences. It provides examples and definitions of each:
- A simple sentence contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. It can have compound subjects or verbs.
- A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinator such as "and", "but", or "or". It uses commas before the coordinator.
- A complex sentence has an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses introduced by a subordinator like "because", "since", or "when". It uses commas depending on the placement of the dependent clause. Understanding these sentence types helps writers vary their sentences.
The ultimate guide to translating idioms
This document discusses the challenges of translating idioms between languages. It begins by defining an idiom as a phrase where the meaning cannot be deduced from the individual words. Idioms are difficult for translators because a literal translation does not make sense, while a professional translator understands the overall meaning and finds an equivalent phrase in the target language. The document uses the example of translating the English idiom "cutting off your nose to spite your face" literally into German, which results in a nonsensical phrase. Proper translation of idioms requires understanding the overall meaning and finding an equivalent expression natural to the target language.
Punctuation
This document provides an overview of common punctuation marks - including periods, commas, semicolons, colons, apostrophes, dashes, hyphens, question marks, quotation marks, and capital letters. It explains the purpose and proper uses of each punctuation mark, giving examples for things like ending sentences, separating parts of sentences, indicating possession or contractions, introducing lists or quotes, and emphasizing points. The document also demonstrates how punctuation is essential for clarity and affects the meaning of writing.
Now Present Tense
The document discusses the now present tense, also known as the present continuous or present progressive tense. It is used to express actions that are happening at the present moment or ongoing processes. Key characteristics include using the verb "to be" plus the verb ending in "-ing". Examples are provided of its uses to indicate present actions, longer ongoing actions, planned future actions, and repetition. Formulas are provided for affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences using this tense.

It also provides guidance on developing revision strategies like reading aloud, isolating specific problems, and using surface level techniques. Students are assigned homework to revise their draft essay using feedback, and submit it in MLA format along with posting drafts and revisions of descriptive passages.
Clause
A clause is a group of words containing a subject and predicate that forms part of a complex sentence. There are many types of clauses but this presentation focuses on five dominant types in English: independent clauses can stand alone as a complete thought; dependent clauses cannot stand alone and need an independent clause; adjective clauses modify nouns; noun clauses function as nouns; and adverb clauses modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Independent clauses contain a subject and verb and express a complete thought.
Summarizing
Summarizing involves reducing a large text selection into a shorter version by focusing on the main idea and key supporting details in your own words. When summarizing, non-essential details are removed to retain only the most important parts of the story. Summaries are much shorter than the original text. The purpose of summarizing is to demonstrate understanding of what was read and make connections between ideas.
1 a 17 editing
This document provides an agenda and discussion of editing strategies for a writing class. It discusses editing techniques for compound sentences, dangling modifiers, and homonyms.

Ethics joke

Lecture1: What is interpreting?
Interpreting involves presenting the exact meaning and tone of a speaker's message either simultaneously or consecutively between languages. It bridges cultural gaps between participants and removes language barriers to allow for mutual understanding. Interpreting differs from translation in that interpreters work orally while translators work in writing, and interpreters do not have access to reference materials during interpretation. Interpretation can be done consecutively, with time delays between the spoken message and interpretation, or simultaneously through headphones in a soundproof booth. Good interpreters require linguistic and cultural knowledge as well as interpreting skills, and must adhere to codes of ethics around preparation, impartiality, and self-evaluation.
Lecture1
This document discusses the differences between interpreting and translation. Interpreting involves orally communicating the exact meaning and tone of a spoken message between languages, either simultaneously or consecutively. Interpreters must bridge cultural gaps without resources, while translators can research when working with written text. Effective interpreting requires linguistic and cultural knowledge, background information, language skills, and adherence to codes of ethics like impartiality and active listening.

Abbreviation and-symbols-for-note
- 1. ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS FOR NOTE-TAKING In order to listen effectively in your classes, you may want to abbreviate certain words that are frequently used. Most people invent their own abbreviations; however, here are some suggestions. 1. Use only the syllable of a word pol = politics dem = democracy lib = liberal cap = capitalism 2. Use the entire first syllable and the first letter of the second syllable subj = subject cons = conservative ind = individual 3. Eliminate final letters. Use just enough of the beginning of a word to form an easily recognizable abbreviation. info = information intro = introduction chem. = chemistry conc = concentration rep = repetition conc = conclusion 4. Omit vowels from the middle of words and retain only enough consonants to provide a recognizable skeleton of the word. bkgd = background ppd = prepared prblm = problem 5. Leave out “a” and “the” 6. Use an apostrophe. gov’t = government am’t = amount cont’d = continued educat’l = educational 7. Use “g” to represent “ing” endings. ckg = checking estg = establishing expting = experimenting 8. Use symbols for commonly recurring connective or transitional words. & = and w/ = with w/o = without vs = against .’. = therefore 9. Leave out periods in standard abbreviations. eg = for example dept = department NYC = New York City 10. Use common technical and mathematical symbols. + = plus, positive - = minus, negative -> = approaches < = angle f = frequency
