For one-syllable adjectives, add "-er"; for two-syllable adjectives ending in "-y," change the "-y" to "-ier"; and for other adjectives with two or more syllables, use "more" plus the adjective. Some adjectives like "good," "bad," and "far" have irregular comparative forms. The document provides examples of applying these rules.

Common relative pronouns are defined along with their uses. An exercise is included for the reader to practice completing sentences with the appropriate relative pronoun.

Examples are given to demonstrate comparative and superlative structures and how to change sentences to the superlative form.
Double negatives ppt
The document discusses double negatives and provides examples of correct and incorrect usage. It notes that a double negative contains two negative words and is incorrect, as it negates the intended negative meaning.

Examples are given to illustrate their use including "I cut myself in the kitchen" and "He hurt himself when he fell off his skateboard." Notes provide guidance on using yourself/yourselves correctly and when reflexive pronouns can and cannot be used.
Conjunctions
This document discusses different types of conjunctions in English language. There are three main types: coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and correlative conjunctions. Coordinating conjunctions join grammatically similar parts of a sentence, such as words, phrases, or independent clauses. Common coordinating conjunctions include and, but, or, nor, and for. Subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses and indicate the relationship between the dependent and independent clauses. Frequent subordinating conjunctions are after, although, because, before, how, once, since, and than.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
