adjective to noun
ADJECTIVE BECOMES NOUN.
ex. poor, dead, sick, wise, homeless, etc
if you have an adjectivized noun (adjective becomes noun) treat and pair it with plural verbs.
therefore, The poor ARE [dili, the poor is...]....the dead HAVE [pls dont say, the dead IS...] .....the WISE DO....[if you write THE WISE IS...THEN...you are incorrect!]
formula: adjective to noun + plural verbs

english lesson: about herd, team, panel and other COLLECTIVE NOUNS
The jury ____________ their seats in the courtroom.
TAKE or TAKES ?
answer: TAKE
why? eventhough that JURY is a collective noun which demands SINGULAR VERB ( other collective nouns such as STAFF, HERD, TEAM, PANEL, BOARD, AUDIENCE, etc) but in the sentence it focuses to the INDIVIDUAL PERSON in the jury by the phrase "their seats"
so FOURTH YEAR students: please try to analyze the sentence also and get some clues and phrases whether the whole sentence deserves a singular verb OOOOOOOOOORRRR plural verb.
topic: collective noun. subject-verb agreement

THE INADVERTENT IN MEMORIAM OF A GREAT ACTION [ gor na & bungaw ] Did I finish the movie? I have no friggin idea. Old age has gotten the better of me!
movie: STARTING OVER AGAIN
WHY DID Toni Gonzaga accept the role [of Ginny] Here's my innocent assumption.
She has been bumped into, tumbled over, tripped down, rammed upon into most scenes. I mean, what was she thinking? She accepted the project because she did not read the contract and the script. In her mind, she had been thinking about the Sprite commercial she did with Piolo in 2001 and had kept it repeating in her thoughts!
One scene: kaBOG! into the wall. She almost froze to death in that enormously humongous meat freezer. But the hugs and kisses of Piolo are the ultimate panacea of her pitfalls, silly faux pas, and physical bloopers.
MOVIE today: Piolo-Toni starrer film STARTING OVER AGAIN
if you want to polish, review, develop, gain, and be fluent to present perfect tenses(i.e. have/has + past participle) and present progressive (i.e. have/has + been + present participle), watch this movie. if Toni or Piolo starts to speak out those grammar-perfect lines, suspend eating those chicharon bits. Instead listen and write it down [ask the security guard for paper and pen, if he gives you the criminal look, ignore your obsession and instead turn on ur fone and go to your memo pad!]
example: "There are three words that I HAVE BEEN WANTING to say to you for five years now." - Toni Gonzaga to Piolo Pascual

1. "Nung iniwan mo sya, binigyan mo sya ng karapatan para magmahal ng iba"
2. I deserve an acceptable reason

4.Nag-adik ka na naman sa pag-asa, try mu kayang lumaklak ng realidad. :
5. "Yabang mo kasi. Akala mo kung sino kang maganda, puro ka naman panga." - Ginny Gonzales [Toni Gonzaga's feisty and cheeky character]
6.
STOKED
stoked means very excited, OR being in an enthusiastic or exhilarated state.
ex. Ginny with her powerful jaw is stoked to see Marco in the busy kitchen. The stoked dog was outside, hearing the moos and hoots of Ginny and Marco! Paul Soriano does some cameo role and the audience is systematically stoked.
my fb post
---- yes, the film is delivered with wisdom, full of wisdom, wit, philippine architecture, full of it, full of delectable dishes and full of toni gonzaga's hilariously exaggerated-overspread toes!
REVIEW BY MJ DE LEON BELOW [GO TO his blog, lifestylehub.net]
WHATS IN A NAME?
ALI, WELLA, BABA, MIGO, BEB, PATTY, MARCO, AND GINNY: even the names are well-thought-out, pleasant to the ears and emanate some qualities, for sure.

REVIEW BY MJ DE LEON BELOW [GO TO his blog, lifestylehub.net]
Great writing elevated "Starting Over Again" to brilliance
Piolo Pascual was already popular when Toni Gonzaga shouted "I love you Piolo!" in a soda commercial. Years later, she found a way to catch up with her leading man when it comes to luster and maybe, talent. Now came their long overdue first movie tandem, aided with the perfect hype, and boasted with a brilliant script.

ALI, WELLA, BABA, MIGO, BEB, PATTY, MARCO, AND GINNY: even the names are well-thought-out, pleasant to the ears and emanate some qualities, for sure.

win or wins off man
may the best man win
wins?
win?
wins?
the whole sentence there has a flavor of HOPE and WISH--you wish that the best man WOULD win. therefore the correct answer is WIN
it is under optative expressions, noh? (i sound like gloria arroyo here)

answer of Mr Figaro [not real name]
I let my students decipher or fugure (typo) out the title of the poem. It is a Korean type of poem under the genre of sijo [pronounced, sidzou] The Tree of Unhappiness by Kim Sang-yong and translated by Graeme Wilson]
I yada the words, I say the piece, I speak and they open their minds and imagine.
On broad leaves of pau-low-nia
The one and only tree
Whereon the phoenix will set foot....
My students have interesting answers:
1. Tree of Life
2. Love
3. Tree of Poetry
4. Tree of Broad
5. God (answer of Peter)
6. Life, the tree has many memories
The best answer: Tree of Mr. Jabines

ironic story for today
The jeepney driver was caught and penalized on traffic violation. He was having this LOADING AND UNLOADING ISSUE. He picked some pasahero
The irony of it all is: The passenger jumped off because that was NOT HIS ROUTE!

JOANNE LORENZANA - You
YOU sung by: Joanne Lorenzana
I thought it over
but I never realized
how it was hard for you to leave
I couldnt blame you
Cause YOU'VE never been unkind
I'd love to hold you in my arms
Make believe you're mine
But I have to face reality
That it's time for me to _______.
YOU dont give me answers
for a while you lie
I'd rather keep the lovin
you keep me burning deep inside.
YOU never believe
the ways
to show I care
I dread to see tomorrow
Cause I know
You won't be THERE.
I keep believin
Cause I know it's worth a try
But it is not easy to pretend
__________________(lyrics still questionable)
I could always be a stranger
Loving YOU until the end
I only long to hold YOU

ALL of versus ALL
http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/all_of.htm

Read more at http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/all_of.htm#qf4iCWZS5atMVhdc.99
Using All and All OfThere is often confusion over all and all of. As a very general guideline, use all of when the next word is a pronoun (e.g., us, you, it, him, her).Examples:  All of us...  All of you... All of it... Do not use all of for normal nouns - just use all. Examples: All the soldiers... All the nurses... I need all of the chairs.  (The word chairs is not a pronoun.) All of the divers returned safely. |
NOT A RULE BUT A GUIDELINE
This is not a "rule" but a guideline. The word allcan be an adjective (e.g., all the soldiers) or apronoun (e.g., all of the soldiers), but as an adjective, the word all does not sit comfortably before a pronoun. Therefore, terms like "all us" sound wrong. Native English speakers would much rather hear "all of us." For many, all soldiers seems less clumsy than all of the soldiers, but both are acceptable. Don't eat all the cake. Don't eat all of the cake. |

DIONNE WARWICK jealousy AND VHONG
since the main theme of Vhong's pitfalls and cedric's drive is jealousy...so here's the ost for that stuff
movie: cloud atlas
commandments:
1. COME. Let me show some secret - Korean to Doona Bae
2. No harm, no SHOUT! - slave to Jim Sturgess' character
3. TELL ME why you were whipped so savagely? -Jim Sturgess to slave
4. stay with me....-escape of the two
chilling scenes
1. the door scene between Halle Berry and the pistol of the killer
2.
unforgettable lines
top----I WILL NOT BE SUBJECTED TO CRIMINAL ABUSE
1. a powerful deja vu runs across my bone
2. i think ive heard this before - halle berry, records store
3. sends his love.... -brother to sleeping wife
4. it was so clear a minute ago...- composer to ben whishaw
5. Freedom!- is the fatuous jingle of our civilization, but only those deprived of it have the barest inkling of what the stuff actually is.
6. each encounter suggests a potential direction

fyi: after two years...two " building, multiplying, trespassing of a germ" years
He swallowed the earring; developed tetanus...
There are 10 quizzes, all in all, with 10 disparate tempers of me, 10 vital scores under 10 vital activities capped in 10 different sized papers. Yes, 10 little boxes in the class record with the elegant black ink used for the writing of the scores.
He only has 2 filled scored boxes. 2 out of 10 little squares! The rest is empty like a chocolate-brown-colored tub of ice cream atop the bunch of 10 empty soft drink bottles in the corner. A rogue, disgusting, and noticeably sad box that should be filled with numbers, be it the lowest or the next to the lowest!
He has been absent for a month already. One classmate died last year. Unthinkable. What a grand dots of connection! I hate my tendency to connect things and those little dots configuring some subtle factors of connectors and parallelism: example, moving the table to upstairs connected to another comment about aparadors then connect to repair of the whole building!---ladies and gentlemen, see the CCTV of my mind: I basically connect things and speeches and gestures like a quilt-maker. My mental needle grabs this and that then patch and sew and fabric glue the whole bits and pieces. I almost skip lunch due to this event progression.
One day, may be a Saturday afternoon in a bedroom full of mirror and school bags---or...a moment of childhood wonderment fading out and a squirt of mature independence and sophistication entitled him to grab a piece of jewelry, maybe he was watching a drama series where the villain opens his mouth...bam! He opened his mouth and toy with the earring.
He ACCIDENTALLY swallowed the "aritis" and perhaps, felt cocky and confident, that IT would be.later on, a part of his poo-poo
BUT, two years later, the doctors found out that the jewelry lodged in some recesses of his pulmonary lungs! How come?
The doctors: "Such a rare case!"
