Third Week, Day Eleven

English

Sentences

Sentences are built like this:

		Sentence
	Subject		Predicate
Noun	Adjectives		Verb	Adverbs

Nouns and Verbs

Nouns and Adjectives

Nouns are things. Here is a list of some nouns. Adjectives explain nouns more succinctly. Some adjectives are listed next to the nouns.

Verbs and Adverbs

Verbs are action words. They are things you do. Here is a list of some verbs. Some adverbs are listed to the right of the verbs. Adverbs are words that are added to verbs to explain them better.

Other Parts of Speech

Prepositions

Prepositions link nouns to other words. Examples of prepositions are: to, or, in, with

Conjunctions

Conjunctions are words that link words, phrases, and clauses. They are also used sometimes to link two sentences together to make one sentence. Examples of conjunctions are: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so

Interjections

Interjections are words that are not necessary to the meaning of a sentence, but express the emotion of the writer.  They can stand alone or be part of a sentence. Examples of interjections are: Ouch! Okay. Hey. Oh.

More about Nouns

Nouns can be classified as: Noun, Proper Noun, Pronoun. Nouns are what we’ve been studying. They just name a thing like desk, door, floor. Proper Nouns name a specific person or thing. Examples of Proper Nouns: Tam, John, Lee. – They are proper nouns because they list a specific person.

Other examples: Houston, San Diego, Arlington, Dallas, San Pedro – all proper nouns because they name specific cities-not just city or town.

Pronouns – pronouns are words that can be substituted for nouns. Examples of pronouns are:

He, she, it, them, you, me, I – These words are pronouns because they can be substituted for the regular noun. If you have been talking about a desk and you say “it is big” – “it” is a word substituted for “desk”. If you’ve been taking about “Lee” you can say “He” – a pronoun substituted for “Lee”- the proper noun. If you have been talking about “Tam” you can say “she” a pronoun substituted for the Proper noun “Tam”.

Singular and plural nouns. Singular nouns talk about one thing. Plural nouns speak about two or more things or people.

Math

Additions, Multiplications and Subtractions

Solve the following problems:

Addition (Plus)

Addition
+	33	55	83	33	36	19	43	22	57
	27	62	47	57	20	42	66	16	36

Subtraction (Minus)

Subtraction
–	44	19	66
	-15	-10	-22

Please do not use the computer, phone, or add wrong numbers during this lesson.

Fractions

A fraction is one number over the other like this:

Numerators and Denominators

Number	Numerator and Denominator
3	is the numerator
14	is the denominator
1	is the numerator
9	is the denominator

Common Denominators

Fraction Number	Result
½ + 1/2	2/2	Equal
¼ + ¼ + 1/4	3/4	Smaller
½ + 1/4	6/8	Smaller

Only if you change ½ to the equivalent expression 2/4 thus: 2/4 + ¼ = ¾

Multiplication Tables

Study the multiplication tables.

Reading Comprehension

Bell the Cat

• Text source is at http://www.english-for-students.com/Bell-The-Cat.html

There was a grocery shop in a town. Plenty of mice lived in that grocery shop. Food was in plenty for them. They ate everything and spoiled all the bags. They also wasted the bread, biscuits and fruits of the shop.

The grocer got really worried. So, he thought “I should buy a cat and let it stay at the grocery. Only then I can save my things.”

He bought a nice, big fat cat and let him stay there. The cat had a nice time hunting the mice and killing them. The mice could not move freely now. They were afraid that anytime the cat would eat them up.

The mice wanted to do something. They held a meeting and all of them tweeted “We must get rid of the cat. Can someone give a suggestion”?

All the mice sat and brooded. A smart looking mouse stood up and said, “The cat moves softly. That is the problem. If we can tie a bell around her neck, then things will be fine. We can know the movements of the cat”.

“Yes, that is answer,” stated all the mice. An old mouse slowly stood up and asked, “Who would tie the bell?” After some moments there was no one there to answer this question.

Social Studies

The Rise of Modern Economics (Part III)

Perhaps the most important result of the industrial revolution was the development of a new middle class. Throughout history society was divided between the small wealthy upper class and the large, poor lower class. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, and factory workers suddenly made up a middle class. The middle class did not have enough wealth to be considered rich but had enough wealth to afford bigger homes, and some luxury goods. As the middle class grew, so did new industry most notably industries that provided entertainment such as theaters and restaurants.

Socialism

However, as some people prospered under the Industrial Revolution, many others struggled with poverty and harsh working conditions. This gave rise to a political movement favoring the establishment of socialism, a system in which society, usually the government owns the means of production such as factories. Developed chiefly by a German philosopher named Karl Marx, socialism maintained that the industrial economic system was essentially unfair, with only a few getting rich at the expense of the majority. Socialists believed that only government-controlled industry could promote true and fair economic equality. The conflict between capitalism and socialism would become the defining structure of the next one hundred years.
