Watch carefully the use of words in your reading. Especially this week distinguish the nouns and verbs. Use your dictionary constantly and add a few words to your vocabulary every day.
Whenever there is a word used in these lessons which you do not thoroughly understand, look it up at once in your dictionary and master it then and there. Make a list in your note book of the words you look up and at the end of the week go over them again and see if you have them clearly in mind. Watch also the pronunciation of the words. Do not try to do everything all at once, nor should you be discouraged if your progress seems slow. We approach the goal one step at a time and each step takes us nearer and nearer. Just keep steadily at it, Comrade.
Yours for Education,
THE PEOPLE'S COLLEGE.
KINDS OF SENTENCES
19. We have found that we use sentences to express our thoughts. But we also find that we use these sentences in different ways for different purposes. Can you notice any difference in the following sentences?
- Two classes have always existed.
- To which class do you belong?
- Join your class in the struggle.
When I say, Two classes have always existed, I am making a simple assertion, stating what I know or believe to be true.
When I say, To which class do you belong? I am asking a question.
When I say, Join your class in the struggle, I am giving a command or making a request.
