Get 2 know US....)

When we meet a person or come across new ideas,
many things come up to our mind.

We may not like how a person looks or his ideas.
It's only when we get to know each other better,
friendship is developed.
Ideas may be accepted or at least understood.

So, get to know us.
SK Tobobon as the name is.
Communicate and make friends,
And you’ll learn to love the school and the ideas..
if not the teachers!..;~)

Commonly Misspelled English Words - advice vs advise


Advice --> noun

It means an opinion that someone offers you about what you should do or how you should act in a particular situation.

For example: "I need someone to give me some advice."

Advise --> verb

It means to give information and suggest types of action.

For example: "I advise everybody to be nice to their teacher."

Note - In British English the noun form often ends in ...ice and the verb in ...ise.

Commonly Misused English Words- Every day vs everyday


One of my pupils wrote this sentence during the English class. Ali goes to school everyday. I asked him "What do you mean by that sentence?". He answered me, "Ali pergi ke sekolah setiap hari". It is commonly seen among our children's writing that they will write setiap hari as everyday. However, we must note that setiap hari is not everyday but every day. Here is the difference.

--->Every day (every is a determiner and day is a noun) is a time expression meaning "each day" or "regularly."

---> Everyday is an adjective meaning commonplace, ordinary, or normal.

Examples

1. Jane goes to class every day (each day)

2. These shoes are great for everyday wear. (ordinary)

Common Errors

The most common error is writing "every day" as one word (everyday) as in the following sentences:

1. I used to jog three miles everyday (Incorrect)

2. I used to jog three miles every day. (Correct)

2 all..Wishing u a blessed Ramadhan....))

PERFECTION




Let us not seek perfection,
Because we are not perfect.
Let us not judge,
Because we are not gods.
Let us not dictate
Because we are not tyrants.
We are Human…
We Learn…
We Fall…
We Fail…
We Get Up…
We Reach Out…
We Help…
We Live…
We Conquer…
We Let Go… but…
We Never GIVE UP.
