The lecture covers the grammatical structures of "wish" and "second conditional" to express desires. It discusses using "wish" with past tense verbs to talk about present wishes. It also covers the second conditional and its use of "if + past tense" in the if-clause and "would/could/might + bare infinitive" in the main clause to discuss hypothetical or unlikely situations. The lecture concludes with examples of using relative clauses, pronouns like "who/whom/that/which," and adverbs like "where/when/why" to provide additional information about nouns.
Writing class review --Learning StationAlice Nelson
The passage describes a crowd's reaction upon seeing strange and terrifying creatures near the water's edge. There was initially a moment of horror-struck silence from the crowd. Then a hoarse murmur arose along with the splashing of feet as people moved toward the water. In the rush to escape, the narrator was struck by a man carrying a portmanteau and pushed by a woman. Though terrified, the narrator remembered the terrible Heat-Ray and thought to take shelter under water.
Accurate use of punctuation is a foremost need of communication; However, for business communication the need arises much more than usual. These are the rules of punctuation marks which you must apply in order to use punctuation accurately. Each and every sign is included in it, if not, then let me know.

This document provides instructions and guidance for an essay assignment. Students are asked to write about a family story that is often told at gatherings. They are to brainstorm potential stories, choose one to focus on, and free write about retelling the story. A rough draft is due on September 28th for peer review, and the final draft is due on October 3rd. The essay should be 2 pages and is worth 70 points. For homework, students are to brainstorm potential stories, free write about one chosen story, and list details about that story. They should also read and annotate a passage from their textbook.
Use apostrophes, capital letters, colons, commas, exclamation points, hyphens, periods, question marks, and quotation marks correctly in writing. Each punctuation mark has specific rules for its use, such as using apostrophes to form contractions and possessives, capitalizing proper nouns and the first word of sentences, and placing commas between independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions. Punctuation helps clarify meaning and ensure readers comprehend the writer's intended message.

Concise writing is emphasized over long-winded phrases or qualifiers that do not add meaning.
This document provides an introduction to articles in English grammar. It defines articles as words that identify or modify nouns. There are two main types of articles: indefinite articles (a, an) and definite articles (the). Indefinite articles are used with non-specific or unknown nouns, while definite articles are used with specific or known nouns. The document goes on to explain rules for using indefinite and definite articles, including exceptions when articles are omitted. Examples are provided throughout to illustrate the rules and proper usage of articles.
Articles in English (A, and, the, and the zero article)alpkaangokce

Literary Devices p. 1 of 10
Literary Devices and Terms
Literary devices are specific language techniques which writers use to create text
that is clear, interesting, and memorable.
Alliteration - repeated consonant sound at the beginning of words or within words;
used to establish mood and rhythm in a story; true alliteration has three words
beginning with the same sound (two words beginning with the same sound would
be called alliterative)
Examples: bucking bronco; miserable morning; Bed, Bath, and Beyond
Allusion - a reference in one story to a well-known character or event from another
story, history, or place
Examples: the rise of the baseball team from last place to first was a real
Cinderella story; at times teachers need the wisdom of Solomon to make
decisions
Ambiguity - when a single event or expression can mean two different things to two
different people
Example: When it is announced that another baby is on the way, Father remarks,
“That could create some problems.” He means problems with money, but his
young son thinks, “You’re right, dad! I don’t want to share my room and toys
with anybody!”
Analogy - comparing one thing to another very different thing in order to explain it
better
Examples: a school is like a garden, where children are lovingly raised and
cared for; the rabbit shot from its hole like a rocket; the confetti fell like snow in
a blizzard as the parade passed through the city streets (these three analogies are
all written as similes)
Aphorism - a brief statement expressing some truth as shown is a story; it can be a
moral, or proverb, or maxim.
Literary Devices p. 2 of 10
Examples: Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched.
Everyone is afraid of something.
Don’t make a big fuss if someone isn’t like us.
Atmosphere - mood or feeling developed through descriptions of the setting and
senses (how things feel, taste, smell, sound, look)
Example: Camping in those woods, time went slow. The thick forest air just sat
on you, hot and wet like a wool blanket, while mosquitoes droned in your ears
and stung you on the back where you could never quite reach to smack them.
Caricature - exaggeration or distortion of a physical trait or behavior, to make a
character appear comic or ridiculous
Example: her nose was needle sharp, with nostrils as small and black as a
mouse’s eyes
Character - a person or player (it can also be an animal, an imaginary creature) in a
story; character can also be used as a word meaning “personal traits,” as in
“Write a paragraph about the character of the Big Bad Wolf.”
Circular Story - a story which begins and ends at the same place, usually following
a character through different adventures or events; although the character arrives
back where he/she started, he or she should now have a different perspective or
feeling based upon experiences
Example: A poor farmer tra ...
