I

THE GIRL WHO LIVED IN DARK WORLD
I
passed an abandoned house, it looked so dirty and dark inside. I were
goosebumps til I couldn’t say any single word and I decided not to pass that
house anymore. Next day, I met a little girl her voice was very smooth and her
smile was very beautiful, she greeted me and said who I am and where I am going
then I told her I wanted to go to market nearby she looked happy and she wanted
to get along with me. I nodded and let her come along, she told me about her family.
She
said her family was killed by a stranger and only she left. I were shocked and
asking if she was okay and she said she was okay. I offered her to live
together with me then she refused, I asked why she refused then she said she
had her own house. After went around the market and bought everything that I needed
then I went home, I asked her where she lived then she said she lived at Camery
rd.
I
took her to her house by foot,we were walking together. I asked where her house
exactly at then we stopped in front of abandoned house. The house that haunted
me and it didn’t only give me nightmare but also it was very scar to remember. I
asked her with trembling voice “is it your house?” then she nodded while
grining at me, I was so scared and left her running. When running I turned back
and found she wasn’t there anymore.
WRITTEN BY ME
THE
THREE LITTLE PIGS
Once
upon a time there were three little pigs. One pig built a house of straw while
the second pig built his house with sticks. They built their houses very
quickly and then sang and danced all day because they were lazy. The third
little pig worked hard all day and built his house with bricks.
A
big bad wolf saw the two little pigs while they danced and played and thought,
“What juicy tender meals they will make!” He chased the two pigs and they ran
and hid in their houses. The big bad wolf went to the first house and huffed
and puffed and blew the house down in minutes. The frightened little pig ran to
the second pig’s house that was made of sticks. The big bad wolf now came to
this house and huffed and puffed and blew the house down in hardly any time.
Now, the two little pigs were terrified and ran to the third pig’s house that
was made of bricks.
The
big bad wolf tried to huff and puff and blow the house down, but he could not.
He kept trying for hours but the house was very strong and the little pigs were
safe inside. He tried to enter through the chimney but the third little pig
boiled a big pot of water and kept it below the chimney. The wolf fell into it
and died.
The
two little pigs now felt sorry for having been so lazy. They too built their
houses with bricks and lived happily ever after.
And what is love? It is a doll dressed up
And what is love? It is a doll dressed up
For idleness to cosset, nurse, and dandle;
A thing of soft misnomers, so divine
That silly youth doth think to make itself
Divine by loving, and so goes on
Yawning and doting a whole summer long,
Till Miss's comb is made a perfect tiara,
And common Wellingtons turn Romeo boots;
Till Cleopatra lives at Number Seven,
And Antony resides in Brunswick Square.
Fools! if some passions high have warmed the world,
If queens and soldiers have played deep for hearts,
It is no reason why such agonies
Should be more common than the growth of weeds.
Fools! make me whole again that weighty pearl
The queen of Egypt melted, and I'll say
That ye may love in spite of beaver hats.
For idleness to cosset, nurse, and dandle;

C.
PASSIVE
AND ACTIVE VOICES
he passive voice is
especially helpful (and even regarded as mandatory) in scientific or technical
writing or lab reports, where the actor is not really important but the process
or principle being described is of ultimate importance. Instead of writing "I
poured 20 cc of acid into the beaker," we would write "Twenty cc of
acid is/was poured into the beaker." The passive voice is also
useful when describing, say, a mechanical process in which the details of
process are much more important than anyone's taking responsibility for the
action: "The first coat of primer paint is applied immediately
after the acid rinse."
We use the passive voice to good effect in a
paragraph in which we wish to shift emphasis from what was the object in
a first sentence to what becomes the subject in subsequent sentences.
The executive committee approved an entirely new policy for
dealing with academic suspension and withdrawal. The policy had been
written by a subcommittee on student behavior. If students withdraw from
course work before suspension can take effect, the policy states, a mark of
"IW" . . . .
The paragraph is clearly about this new policy so it
is appropriate that policy move from being the object in the first
sentence to being the subject of the second sentence. The passive voice allows
for this transition.†
PASSIVE
VERB FORMATION
The passive forms of a
verb are created by combining a form of the "to be verb" with the past
participle of the main verb. Other helping verbs are also sometimes present:
"The measure could have been killed in committee." The
passive can be used, also, in various tenses. Let's take a look at the passive
forms of "design."

|
|
Past progressive
|

|
was being
|
were being
|
designed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A sentence cast in the passive voice will not always
include an agent of the action. For instance if a
gorilla crushes a tin can, we could say "The tin can was crushed by
the gorilla." But a perfectly good sentence would leave out the gorilla:
"The tin can was crushed." Also, when an active sentence with an
indirect object is recast in the passive, the indirect object can take on the
role of subject in the passive sentence:
|
Active
|
Professor Villa gave Jorge an A.
|
|
Passive
|
An A was given to Jorge by
Professor Villa.
|
|
Passive
|
Jorge was given an A.
|
Only transitive verbs (those that take objects) can
be transformed into passive constructions. Furthermore, active sentences
containing certain verbs cannot be transformed into passive structures. To
have is the most important of these verbs. We can say "He has a new
car," but we cannot say "A new car is had by him." We can say
"Josefina lacked finesse," but we cannot say "Finesse was
lacked." Here is a brief list of such verbs*:
|
resemble
|
look like
|
equal
|
agree with
|
|
mean
|
contain
|
hold
|
comprise
|
|
lack
|
suit
|
fit
|
become
|
VERBALS IN PASSIVE STRUCTURES
Verbals or verb forms can also take on
features of the passive voice. An infinitive phrase in the passive voice,
for instance, can perform various functions within a sentence (just like the
active forms of the infinitive).
Subject: To be elected by my peers is a
great honor.
Object: That child really likes to be read to by
her mother.
Modifier: Grasso was the first woman to be
elected governor in her own right.
The same is true of passive gerunds.
Subject: Being elected by my peers was a
great thrill.
Object: I really don't like being lectured to by
my boss.
Object of preposition: I am so tired of being
lectured to by my boss.
With passive participles, part of the passive
construction is often omitted, the result being a simple modifying participial phrase.
[Having been] designed for off-road performance, the
Pathseeker does not always behave well on paved highways.
D.
CONDITIONAL SENTENCES / IF-CLAUSES TYPE I, II UND III
Conditional
Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to
express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only
take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is
fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional Sentences.
CONDITIONAL
SENTENCE TYPE 1
→ It is
possible and also very
likely that
the condition will be fulfilled.
Example: If I find her address, I’ll send her an
invitation.
CONDITIONAL
SENTENCE TYPE 2
→ It is
possible but very
unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.
Example: If I found her address, I would send her
an invitation.
CONDITIONAL
SENTENCE TYPE 3
→ It is impossible that the
condition will be fulfilled because it refers to the past.
Example: If I had found her address, I would have
sent her an invitation.
E.
DEFINITION OF AN ADJECTIVE CLAUSE
In order to
understand an adjective clause, let's define the two words individually. An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a
noun. A clause is a group of words that has both a
subject and a verb. If the clause expresses a complete thought, then it is a
complete sentence. If it doesn't, it is what we call a dependent
clause, as it depends on the main clause of the sentence to form a complete
thought. An adjective
clause, then, is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb that
modifies a noun in a sentence. Adjective clauses are dependent clauses.
Relative
Pronouns
Adjective clauses begin with the
'signal words' or 'relative pronouns'. Here is a list of the
most-used relative pronouns:
- which
- who
- whoever
- whomever
- that
- whose
It is important to recognize relative
pronouns because they signal the beginning of adjective clauses in sentences.
They also act as the actual subjects and sometimes the objects in the adjective
clauses.
EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE
When we see a
relative pronoun in a sentence, we know that this is most likely the beginning
of an adjective clause. Keep in mind that as with other grammar rules in the
English language, there are often exceptions. Here is an example:
Who
is the author of the book?
The word 'who' is the subject of this
sentence; it does not signal the beginning of an adjective clause.
However, the word 'who' does signal
the beginning of an adjective clause in the following sentence:
Mrs.
Jones, who faints easily, saw the wild mouse and screamed.
The clause 'who faints easily' is an
adjective clause that modifies the proper noun 'Mrs. Jones.'
How Adjective Clauses Function
Now that we have that cleared up,
let's move on to see some examples of how adjective clauses work in sentences.
See if you can identify the adjective clauses in the following three sentences:
1. Pamela is the girl who won the surfing contest.
2. The black car that ran the red light got in an accident.
3. People are sometimes superstitious about black cats which are common symbols of Halloween.
2. The black car that ran the red light got in an accident.

My English Assigments Part 1
PRESENT
TENSE
this
tense is commonly used for habit, general truths and an event in present time. We
use tobe1 or verb1 after subject. The following examples below will make you

drinks. In the negative form the third person of the auxiliary ‘DO’ + the
infinitive of the verb. Example : She wants to buy a dress. Does she want to
buy a skirt? She doesn’t want to buy a skirt.
