HOMEWORK 2

Hi Lucia!

These are my answers to your other questions. ^^

3. That part means that you use \'that\' to provide additional information about the noun or the adjective that was used.
For example:
Peter is upset that his sister wants to drop out of high school.

- Peter is upset.
**upset is an adjective that describes Peter.
But, Why is Peter upset?
And your answer would be: Becasue his sister wants to drop out of high school.

----- So there, as you can see those two clauses (1. Peter is upset. 2. His sister wants to drop out of high school.) were connected by \'that\'. \'That\' gave additional information on why Peter is upset.

4.
a. \'To\' for Movement
- when indicating that there is movement from one place to another. In other words, the preposition \'to\' with verbs such as drive, walk, go, hike, fly, sail, etc.
ex:
The captain sailed to the closest port.
We\'re flying to San Francisco on Thursday for a meeting.

b. \'To\' as Time Expression
- used to refer to time in the same sense as the time expressions \'till\' or \'until\'.
ex.
Meridith worked to (OR until, till) five and then left.
We\'re going to wait another three weeks to the end of the month.

c. \'From\'/\'To\': Time Expressions
- When a starting time and a finishing time is mentioned, use the preposition \'from\' to express the beginning and \'to\' for the end.
ex:
We usually work from eight in the morning to five o\'clock.
She played the piano from ten to twelve.

d. \'To\' in Phrasal Verbs
-used in many phrasal verbs. Here is a short list of some of the most common:

look forward to something
object to something
appeal to someone
boil down to something
get to something

ex:
I look forward to seeing you soon.

e. \'To\' as Infinitive of Purpose
-used as an infinitive of purpose to mean \'in order to\'.
ex: I spent some money (in order) to get some help.
Susan hasn\'t worked so hard (in order) to give up!

f. Linking Phrases with \'To\'
-used in a number of common phrases to link ideas, often at the beginning of a sentence.
ex:
To a great extent
To some extent
To begin with
To start with
To sum up
To tell the truth

5. I used \'its\' to refer to money. Its is actually a posessive pronoun for objects.

Note: A possessive pronoun includes his and hers. So \'its\' also functions the same but it is for objects.

6. I used \'a\' in the sentence to specify that it was raining for that particular day.

You\'re right that \'a\' is used to refer to singular subjects/ objects that starts with consonants.

For words (singular) that starts with AEIOU or what we call vowels, you should use \'an\'. But always remember that you should also use \'an\' for words that starts with consonants but pronounced as or closely to a vowel. Like for example: \'hour\'- an hour.

It\'s okay Lucia. Don\'t say sorry. Asking questions is part of your learning process so it\'s fine. :)

I hope that I answered all your questions. If you have any clarifications, you can ask me on our next class as well.

Have a good night and take care! ^^

 4. That\' in a Clause as a Compliment to a Noun or an Adjective
-A compliment helps give additional information about the noun or adjective.
It answers the question \'why\'.
ex: Peter is upset that his sister wants to drop out of high school.
She is certain that her son will be accepted to Harvard.
