Lenka - Heart Skips a beat

What a nice song!!! You ought to listen it,,,


Lenka - Heart Skips a beat

Heart skips a beat my heart skips a beat

My heart is playing tricks on me
And it’s building bricks on me
I can’t break through
And I can’t face you

My world is turning slowly now
But it’s burning up somehow
I need some time
To know what’s right

‘Cause it’s only in the quiet that I feel some relief
I’m trying hard not to resist the joy
Don’t listen to me I’m being paranoid
I might try hard but it’s too hard to avoid

My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat
My heart is always first to know
And as the feeling grows
I can’t deny push those thoughts aside
My world is full of loveliness
But I focus on the stress

My heart says “Go” but my brain says “No”
And it’s only in the quiet that I hear myself breathe

I’m trying hard not to resist the joy
Don’t listen to me I’m being paranoid
I might try hard but it’s too hard to avoid

My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat

Oh I know this time ’cause it’s physical
My blood has stopped and I am breathless as well
But I need a minute to convince myself
‘Cause it’s only in the quiet that I know what to feel

Prepositions of Place: at, in, on

Prepositions can be used to show where something is located.

The prepositions at, on, and in

We use at to show a specific place or position.

For example:

Someone is at the door.

They are waiting at the bus stop.

I used to live at 51 Portland Street.

We use on to show position on a horizontal or vertical surface.

For example:

The cat sat on the mat.

The satellite dish is on the roof.

We also use on to show position on streets, roads, etc.

For example:

I used to live on Portland Street.

We use in to show that something is enclosed or surrounded.

For example:

The dog is in the garden.

She is in a taxi.

Put it in the box.

We also use in to show position within land-areas (towns, counties, states, countries, and continents).

For example:

I used to live in Nottingham.

In general, we use:

at for a POINT

in for an ENCLOSED SPACE

on for a SURFACE

Relative Pronouns

We use the relative pronouns to refer to a noun mentioned before and of which we are adding more information. They are used to join two or more sentences and forming in that way what we call “relative sentences“.

for example : I know the boy who lives there.

In this sentence what word does ‘who’ refer to?

It refers to the noun ‘boy’ which is just before it.

“Who” is called Relative Pronoun.

Where is it placed? – It is placed at the beginning of the clause ‘who lives there’. This clause tells us about the boy. It is an adjective clause.

“A Relative Pronoun is used to begin an adjective clause. It refers to the noun directly in front of it”

Read the sentences below:

1. The man who married that old lady is my uncle.

2. That is the house which is being auctioned.

3. The apples that she bought were rotten.

4. The met whom you met yesterday is here.

5. The lady whose bag was stolen has made a report to the police.

‘Who’, ‘which’, ‘that’, ‘whom’ and ‘whose’ are all relative pronouns.

These pronouns are used according to whether they refer to persons or things.

The pronouns that are used to refer to people are ‘who’, ‘whom’ and ‘whose’.

‘Whom’ is only used as the object of the sentence.

‘Whose’ is used as a possessive.

And pronouns refer to animals and things are ‘which’ and ‘that’.

POSSESSIVE

I. POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES

Definition: Possesive adjectives are used to show ownership or possession. The possessive adjectives are:

Subject pronoun Possessive adjective
I my
you your
he his
she her
it its
we our
they their

For example:
That’s my folder.
* ” My” is an adjective which shows that I am the owner of the folder.

Notes:
A possessive adjective is similar or identical to a possessive pronoun; however, it is used as an adjective and modifies a noun or a noun phrase.

For example:
I can’t complete my assignment because I don’t have the textbook.
* In this sentence, the possessive adjective “my” modifies the noun “assignment”.
What is your phone number?
* Here the possessive adjective “your” is used to modify the noun phrase “phone number”
The cat chased its ball down the stairs and into the backyard.
* In this sentence, the possessive adjective “its” modifies “ball”.

II. POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS

Definition: We use the Possessive Pronouns when we want to substitute a group of words that are indicating a possession relation.

Subject pronouns Possessive pronouns
I Mine
You Yours (singular)
He His
She Hers
It Its
We Ours
You Yours (plural)
They Theirs

For example:
This is my book.
* In this example, we can substitute “my book” for the possessive pronoun “mine”. => This is mine.

This is your disk and that’s mine.
* Mine substitutes the word disk and shows that it belongs to me.

A possessive pronoun indicates it is acting as a subject complement or a subject of the sentence.

For example:
The smallest gift is mine.
This is yours.
* Here the possessive pronouns acts as a subject complement.

His is on the kitchen counter.
Theirs will be delivered tomorrow.
Ours is the green one on the corner.
* Here the possessive pronoun acts as the subject of the sentence.

Note : Possessive pronouns are very similar to possessive adjectives.

For example:
You can borrow my book as long as you remember that it’s not yours.
=> The possessive “my” depends on the noun “book.”
=> The possessive “yours” is a pronoun which stands in the place of “your book”.

When you drive to Manitoba, will you take your car or theirs?
=> The possessive “your” depends on the noun “car.”
=> The possessive pronoun, “theirs,” stands in the place of the noun phrase, “their car.”

III. Possessive Nouns

Rule #1: Making singular nouns possessive. Add an apostrophe ( ‘ ) + s to most singular nouns and to plural nouns that do not end in s.

Examples:
Singular nouns: kitten’s toy, Joe’s car, MLB’s ruling
Plurals not ending in s: women’s dresses, sheep’s pasture, children’s toys


Rule #2: Making plural nouns possessive Add an apostrophe ( ‘ ) only to plural nouns that already end in s.

Examples:
Companies’ workers
Horses’ stalls
Countries’ armies


Rule #3: Making hyphenated nouns and compound nouns plural. Compound and hyphenated words can be tricky. Add the apostrophe + s to the end of the compound words or the last word in a hyphenated noun.
Examples:
My mother-in-law’s recipe for meatloaf is my husband’s favorite.
The United States Post Office’s stamps are available in roll or in packets.
Rule #4: Indicating possession when two nouns are joined together. You may be writing about two people or two places or things that share possession of an object. If two nouns share ownership, indicate possession only once, and on the second noun. Add the apostrophe + s to the second noun only.
Examples:
Jack and Jill’s pail of water features prominently in the nursery rhyme.
Abbot and Costello’s comedy skit “Who’s On First” is a classic act.

Rule #5: Indicating possession when two nouns are joined, and ownership is separate.This is the trickiest of all, but thankfully you’ll probably need this rule infrequently. When two nouns indicate ownership, but the ownership is separate, each noun gets the apostrophe + s. The examples below may help you understand exactly what this means.
Example:
Lucy’s and Ricky’s dressing rooms were painted pink and blue. (Each owns his or her own dressing room, and they are different rooms).
Senator Obama’s and Senator Clinton’s educations are outstanding. (Each senator owns his or her education, but they attained separate educations).

Homonyms - English Printable Worksheet

For homonyms in scientific nomenclature, see Homonym (biology). n linguistics, a homonym is, in the strict sense, one of a group of words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings.[1] Thus homonyms are simultaneously homographs (words that share the same spelling, irrespective of their pronunciation) and homophones (words that share the same pronunciation, irrespective of their spelling). The state of being a homonym is called homonymy. Examples of homonyms are the pair stalk (part of a plant) and stalk (follow/harass a person) and the pair left (opposite of right) and left (past tense of leave). A distinction is sometimes made between “true” homonyms, which are unrelated in origin, such as skate(glide on ice) and skate (the fish), and polysemous homonyms, or polysemes, which have a shared origin, such as mouth (of a river) andmouth (of an animal).[2][3]
