They include articles, auxiliary verbs, conjunctions, determiners, intensifiers, prepositions, pronouns, and interjections. Articles precede nouns and can be definite or indefinite. Auxiliary verbs combine with other verbs to form verb phrases. Conjunctions link words and phrases. Determiners introduce nouns. Pronouns replace nouns.
Subject verb agreement english presentation
This document discusses subject-verb agreement rules in English grammar. It states that a singular subject takes a singular verb and a plural subject takes a plural verb. It also covers that words between the subject and verb do not affect the agreement, and that the verb agrees with the subject even when it precedes the subject. Finally, it addresses compound subjects, noting that subjects joined by "and" typically take a plural verb, while subjects joined by "either...or" or "neither...nor" take a verb agreeing with the closer subject.
Grammardefinitions
The document defines key grammar terms in Spanish including:
1) Subjects, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, nouns, definite and indefinite articles, prepositions, conjugation, infinitives, stems, irregular verbs, and direct/indirect object pronouns.
2) It explains that in Spanish, adjectives and nouns must agree in gender and number, there are different pronouns used for subjects, objects, reflexive verbs, and after prepositions, and verbs are conjugated to show the subject.
3) Irregular verbs, stem changing verbs, and object pronouns are also defined as having variations from typical conjugation or replacement patterns.

Reading comprehension
Reading comprehension involves understanding text, connecting it to prior knowledge, critical evaluation, and monitoring understanding. There are different reading strategies like skimming, scanning, extensive, and intensive reading. Before reading, teachers can pre-teach vocabulary, have students predict from titles, sequence pictures, and use pictures. While reading, students can tell the story, make predictions, focus on words, and use pictures. After reading, activities include rearranging sentences, cartoon strips, drawing pictures, rearranging words, acting out stories, wall stories, writing new endings, and altering versions.
Presentation1
There are three main tenses in English: present, past, and future. Each tense can be further divided into simple and progressive/continuous forms. The present tense expresses current or ongoing actions, habits, general truths, and planned future actions. The past tense is used for completed actions and durations in the past. The future tense can be expressed using "will" to indicate voluntary actions or "be going to" to suggest planned or predicted events.

This document discusses subject-verb agreement and provides examples. It defines the subject as the person, place, thing or idea doing or being something in a sentence. A subject can be singular, plural, or uncountable. It defines the verb as the word describing the action. Verbs can be singular or plural. The key rule is that subjects and verbs must agree in number - a singular subject takes a singular verb and a plural subject takes a plural verb.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
