Learn, Relax and Enjoy


Here is The Father

Here is the father short and stout (hold up the thumb)
Here is the mother with children all about (hold up the index finger)
Here is the brother, tall you see (hold up the middle finger)
And here is the sister with dolly on her knee (Hold up the ring finger)
Here is baby, still to grow. (hold up the little finger)
And here is the family all in a row(hold up the hand with all the fingers up)

1. It's and Its: - "It's" is a contraction meaning "it is." Example: It's hot today. "Its" is a possessive form. Example: I read the book with all of its 500 pages.
2. You, Your, and You're: While the previous example is a grammatical error, the confusion of you and your is often a typo. You're is the contraction of "you are" and some people confuse it with your. Examples: You're a good person. Your sincerity is admirable.
3. Lose and Loose: Loose can have several meanings in English and is used as an adjective, adverb, or a verb (although that's not very common). Here are some examples: Unattended children ran loose through the store. That person has a pretty loose reputation. But lose is always a verb: His boss told him to lose his negative attitude while serving customers.
4.Compliment and Complement: - If you like your colleague's way of expressing herself, you'll compliment her on her communication skills. Complement is most commonly used to indicate that something completes a set or matches it well. Example: His positive attitude complements his wide knowledge of the product, making him a very effective salesman.
