TUESDAY:

Past Perfect Tense

Past perfect tense verbs are formed with the helping verb had and the verb's past participle.

They show an action that came before another action in the past.

Here are some examples:

The team had won before I arrived.My sister had just left when we walked in the door.

Although this verb tense shows an action that came before another action in the past, that other action does not have to be stated in the sentence.

It can simply be implied.

For instance, these sentences are still made with the past perfect verb tense although the past action is not state like it is in the sentences above.

The team had won.My sister had just left.

---

What Is a Perfect Tense?

Every verb has three perfect tenses.

The three perfect tenses are formed with the helping verbs have, has, had, will and shall and the past participle of the verb.

1. Present Perfect Verbs are formed with the helping verbs has and have.

2. Past Perfect Verbs are formed with the helping verb had.

3. Future Perfect Verbs are formed with the helping verbs will have andshall have.

---

Past Participles

You need to know what a past participle is because past perfect verbs are formed using a verb's past participle.

Ready to learn about past participles? Great!

Every verb has what are called four principal parts.

We can take any verb and break it into these parts. Past participles are simply one of those parts of a verb.

Here is a chart showing you some examples of verbs broken into their principal parts.

Present	Present Participle	Past	Past Participle
kick	(is) kicking	kicked	(have) kicked
won	(is) winning	won	(have) won
win	(is) winning	wong	(have) won

Forming the Past Perfect Tense

So, to form the past perfect verb tense, just slap a had in front of the past participle of the verb.

It's easy!

had	+ Past Participle		Past Perfect
had	+ learned		had learned
had	+ won		had won
had	+ graduated		had graduated

The 6th week in BEL120 ;P

Tuesday:
In this day, i've learned about singular and plural nouns.


Notes:
Singular is when a noun means one only, it is said to be singular.  
Examples:  boy, girl, book, church, box 

Plural is when a noun means more than one, it is said to be plural.  
Examples:  boys, girls, books, churches

Rule #1The plural of nouns is usually formed by adding - s to a singular noun.

lamp	lamps
cat	cats
fork	forks
flower	flowers
pen	pens

Exercise:  Write the plural of each of these nouns

chair	star	farm
storm	door	rock
owner	paper	cup

Rule #2
Nouns ending in s, z, x, sh, and ch form the plural by adding - es.

moss	mosses
buzz	buzzes
box	boxes
dish	dishes
church	churches

Exercise:  Write the plural of each of these nouns

dress	brush	hex
wish	class	fox
cross	bench	bush
ax	grass	mantis

Special Note:If you add - s to such nouns as fox, bush, and bench, you will find that you cannot pronounce them without 
making an additional syllable.  This is why such nouns form the plural by adding - es.

In this day, my class learned about TOPIC SENTENCES. Topic sentences is one of the important thing in the essay. This topic sentences are located at each paragraph of essay. its contain topic and control idea. Topic is the main idea of essay. Control idea is each topic sentences in each paragraph.
Example:

1. One of the most important (reason why people wake up late)TOPIC in the morning is (staying up late at night)CONTROL IDEA. 
2. The thing which is of (utmost importance for every student)TOPIC is (consistency)CONTROL IDEA. We need to revise whatever we are taught daily. This will help us to retain when we have studied better. Consistent studying and revising will prevent us from missing out important details.

Precaution: Make sure the topic sentences does not have many controlling idea.


writing essay:
we can make our essay more interesting,coherant and smooth using the transition elements.
transitions are elements or words which are connecting idea to idea.

                                                                  but
             Marcos loves to swim in the ocean    however               his parent not allow him.
                                                                  on the other hand
for longer writing, transition can be use to connect first and the second paragraph.
p/s: i always use this transitions in my essay but i do not know the name is "transition".hu3
