It just occurred to me after school that today is 29 February, and this date comes only once in 4 years! Today's also Dex's birthday, so it must be a really special day for him! I've included a video I found on Youtube that talks about Leap Years. It's a little fast so hope you can still understand it!
For today, we had our lessons as per usual, we went through our comprehension practice and I asked this question:
Can we use "Because" at the start of our sentence?
Sample Question: Why did Ailing help the old man?
Incomplete Answer: Because she was a kind girl. X
It is because she was a kind girl. X
Explanation: These are not complete answers.
Complete answers look like this:
- Ailing helped the old man because she was a kind girl.
- Because Ailing was a kind girl, she helped the old man.
- Ailing was a kind girl.
You can start your sentences with 'Because' only if you continue with the main clause.
I recommend that you go straight to the point and say that Ailing was a kind girl. You will still be able to get the full mark for that question.
Hope this clears things up!
Love,
Mrs Soh
