Can you explain the difference between its and it's?
Thanisha

Answer:
It's refers to the short of it is or it was
It's such a warm day, same as
It is such a warm day.

Its is referring to a reference to a noun
E.g. The dog ran so far that its owner could not catch up with it


Thank you Mr Fairuz.]]> 2019-05-11 08:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/fairuzaman1982/6e2019/wish/359086928 https://padlet.com/fairuzaman1982/6e2019/wish/359087426 Is the answer,
Neither Brianne nor her brothers wants to watch the film.
Thanisha

Answer:
You need to be careful of the subject that appears before the verb

E.g.
Correct: Neither Brianne nor her brothers (plural) want (Verb) to watch the film.

In this case, the verb want is referring to brothers, which is in the plural form

Correct: Neither Sam nor Tim (Singular) wants (verb) to watch the film.

Answer: older (as there are only 2 in comparison)

If there are 3,
Hui Tin is the oldest of her 3 siblings.]]> 2019-05-12 07:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/fairuzaman1982/6e2019/wish/359178914 fairuzaman1982 https://padlet.com/fairuzaman1982/6e2019/wish/359178985 It depends on which one is the subject.

Example 1 Incorrect:

Me am going to the movie.

Example 2 Correct:
Tim and I are going to the movies. If you remove Tim from the sentence it becomes I am going to the movies

Example 3 Incorrect:
The piece of painting is done by Charlene and I.

Example 4 Correct:

E.g.
No one is coming to school. compared to No one are coming to school.

2. In the afternoon after your exams, do not take long naps. A 20 minute power nap would do. 

3. Eat right. Stock up on fruits and vegetables. Avoid oily food and gassy drinks. Eat healthy.

4. Take a break in between study sessions. At least a 30 minute break in between 2 hours of study. ]]> 2019-09-25 13:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/fairuzaman1982/6e2019/wish/389440998 fairuzaman1982 https://padlet.com/fairuzaman1982/6e2019/wish/389443593 1. Use something that you are comfortable with.

2. Some examples can be found in every mock paper. That is why there is always a vocab section in every paper for you to build up your bank.. Not with $$$ but with words that you can use in future. ]]> 2019-09-25 13:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/fairuzaman1982/6e2019/wish/389443593
