Getting Detention.
Mrs. Dursley : Come in Mr. Drake.
Drake : Good evening ma’am.
Mrs. Dursley : (Pretend to read a piece of paper) This note here says that you were caught throwing chalk
pieces at a classmate.
Drake : I’m sorry ma’am… Actually the entire class was doing it. The teacher walked in and saw just me.
Mrs. Dursley : That’s no excuse Mr Drake. You know that this kind of behavior is not tolerated in this
institution.
Drake : I am sorry Mrs. Dursley. It won’t happen again.
Mrs. Dursley : It’d better not… But just to help you strengthen your resolve, I would like you to stay back for an
hour after school in the detention room for this entire week.

GRAMMAR RULES:

 Link Ideas with a Conjunction

Sometimes you want to link two ideas with a second S+V+O combination. When you do, you need a
coordinating conjunction. The new formula looks like this:
S+V+O, COORDINATING CONJUNCTION+S+V+O
Coordinating conjunctions are easy to remember with an acronymic mnemonic device:

FANBOYS
- For
- And
- Nor
- But
- Or
- Yet
- So
 Use the Simple Present Tense for Habitual Actions
The simple present is the tense you use for any habitual action. The things you always do or do every
Tuesday are described with the simple present, which just means you pick the first form of any verb.
- Mary likes dogs.
- I don't walk Mary's dog.
- Mary and I drink tea every Tuesday together.

 Add "ed" to verbs for the Past Tense

When we talk about the past, we have to add an "-ed" to regular verbs to make the second form.
Irregular verbs are tricky and have their own sets of rules. Drink, for example, turns to "drank." Most of
the time, though, "-ed" will do.
- I drank a lot of green tea yesterday, but Mary didn't.
- The dogs stopped barking two seconds ago, and I am feeling better.
- Mary played fetch with her hyperactive dog.

Use Perfect Tenses

Practice makes perfect with the perfect tenses. Here are three rules to finish the 11 rules of grammar.
If you remember these, you'll be well on your way to perfection.

 We use “there is” and “there are” to say that something exists.

Positive Sentences
We use there is for singular and there are for plural.
- There is one table in the classroom.
- There are three chairs in the classroom.
- There is a spider in the bath.
- There are many people at the bus stop.

We also use There is with uncountable nouns:

- There is milk in the fridge.
- There is some sugar on the table.
- There is ice cream on your shirt.

 There aren't with ANY

When we want to indicate that a zero quantity of something exists we use there aren't any.
- There aren't any people at the party.
- There aren't any trees in my street.

We also use this structure with uncountable nouns:

- There isn't any water in the swimming pool.
- There isn't any sugar in my coffee.

Questions
To form a question we place is / are in front of there.
Again we use any with plural questions or those which use uncountable nouns.
We also use there is / are in short answers.
- Is there a dog in the supermarket? - No, there isn't.
- Are there any dogs in the park? - Yes, there are.
- Is there a security guard in the shop? - Yes, there is.
- Are there any polar bears in Antarctica? - No, there aren't.
- Is there any ice-cream in the freezer? - Yes, there is.

 How Many with Are There

If we want to find out the number of objects that exist we use How many in the following form:
How many + plural noun + are there (+ complement).
- How many dogs are there in the park?
- How many students are there in your class?
- How many countries are there in South America?
- How many Star Wars films are there?

Direct and Indirect Objects

 Direct Objects
A direct object is the receiver of action within a sentence. The direct object in “He hit the ball” is the
ball. Be careful to distinguish between a direct object and an object complement. While a direct object
receives the action, a complement adds information to, or renames, the object in question. Consider
the following example:
- They named their daughter Jannah.
In the above sentence, daughter is the direct object and Jannah is the object complement, which
describes the direct object.

 Indirect Objects
The indirect object identifies to or for whom or what the action of the verb is performed. The direct
object and indirect object are different people, places or things.
- The instructor gave his students A’s.
- Grandfather left Omar and Aisha all his money.
- Muhammad sold me his boat.
Incidentally, the word me (and similar object-form pronouns such as him, us, them) is not always an
indirect object; it will also serve, sometimes, as a direct object.
- Bless me/her/us!
- Call me/him/them if you have questions.
  Indirect Objects usually occur with a Direct Object, and they always come before the Direct
Object. The typical pattern is:
Subject + Verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object
Further examples are then provided - in each case the verb is followed first by an indirect object and
then a direct object (the same pattern that give typically follows):
- Tell me a story
- He showed us his war medals
- We bought David a birthday cake
- Can you lend your colleague a pen?

PREPOSITIONS:

Some examples of common prepositions used in sentences are:

- He sat on the chair.
- There is some milk in the fridge.
- She was hiding under the table.
- He drove over the bridge.
- He swam at the lake.
- I walked down the street.
- She drove to the store.
- The car went through the tunnel.
- I got a package from a friend.
- I have liked that song since 1999.
- She put the flowers by the window.
- The food was placed on the table.

 Compound Prepositions
Compound prepositions are similar to double prepositions but are generally created by prefixing a
preposition to a noun, adjective or adverb. Some examples are about, across, among, beside, before,
above, along, inside, between, around, behind, below, beneath…..
- She sat beside Marie. ----
- I attended a quick meeting before leaving for the day. ----
- A terrible storm raged across the mountains. ----
- My dog ran along the track with me. ----
- He found a penny beneath the couch. ----
- He was between jobs at the moment.----
- My car is parked behind the store. ----
- There was a tunnel running underneath the city.
 Participle Prepositions
Participle (or participial) prepositions have endings such as -ed and -ing. Examples are words such as
considering, pending, concerning, provided.
- She is interested in anything concerning horses.
- He works one job during the day and another at night.
- The dog kept following him home.
- All the neighbors were there including the new one.
- The principal was asking questions regarding her behavior.
- Considering his age, he did a great job.
- He was frustrated at the situation.
