Just Kidding...

Two factory workers are talking.
The woman says, "I can make the boss give me the day off."
The man replies, "And how would you do that?"
The woman says, "Just wait and see." She then hangs upside-down from the ceiling.
The boss comes in and says, "What are you doing?"
The woman replies, "I'm a light bulb."
The boss then says, "You've been working so much that you've gone crazy. I think you need to take the day off."
The man starts to follow her and the boss says, "Where are you going?"
The man says, "I'm going home, too. I can't work in the dark."

Writing Process

INTRODUCTION
“To write well is to know what a sentence is made of”
What is a sentence?

1. A sentence is a group of words that contains:

i) a subject ii) a verb iii) and expresses a complete thought and makes sense.

2. The basic sentence structure is SVO.

The subject(S) comes before the verb(V) and followed by an object(O) or a complement(C).
Example:i) A man walked his dog.

ii) Malaysia is a peaceful country.

iii) I have three red cars.

iv) She and her son ate dinner at Siti’s house.

v) Either Ali or his sisters will go to Ahmad’s wedding ceremony.

3. Sentences can be

i) simple - containing only one subject (S) and one verb(V).Example: Ahmad(S) went (V) home.

ii) complex - containing two or more subjects and verbs with a subordinating conjunction or a dependent clause.

Example: Although(SConj) Ahmad(S) went(V) home, he will come(V) again tomorrow.

iii) compound - containing two or more subjects and verbs joined by a coordinating conjuction or a semicolon. Two simple sentences (independent clauses) are joined by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).

Example:
a) Ahmad(S) went(V) home, but(CConj) he will come(V) again tomorrow.

b) Ahmad(S) had(V) an interview;(semicolon)however, he was(V) late.

Something to ponder...

Did You Know?

An eighteenth century English aristocrat, the Earl of Sandwich, loved playing cards. He used to play cards all day and night and hated having to stop a game for his meals. One day he thought of a way of putting meat between two slices of bread. In this way he could eat while at the same time continue playing cards. It is because of the Earl of Sandwich that today we call sandwiches “sandwiches”.
