Catch Us If You Can-Notes and Exercises

Catch Us If You Can  

Is It 'I' or 'Me'????

‘I’ or ‘me’?

The two personal pronouns I and me are often used wrongly, usually in sentences in which I is being used with another noun. Here are some tips to help us get it right:

•  Use the pronoun I, along with other subjective pronouns such as we, he, she, you, and they, when the pronoun is the subject of a verb:

He went to bed.
We waited for the bus.
Clare and I are going for a coffee.

In the last example, the pronoun I, together with the proper noun Clare, forms the subject of the sentence, so you need to use I rather than me.

•  Use the pronoun me, along with other objective pronouns such as us, him, her, you, and them, when the pronoun is the object of a verb:

Danny thanked them.
The dog followed John and me to the door.

In the last example, the pronoun me, together with the proper noun John, forms the object of the verb follow, so you need to use me rather than I.

•  Use the pronoun me, along with other objective pronouns such as us, him, her, you, and them, when the pronoun is the object of a preposition:

Rose spent the day with Jake and me.

Me, together with Jake, forms the object of the preposition with, so you need to use the pronoun me rather than the pronoun I.

An easy way of making sure you’ve chosen the right pronoun is to see whether the sentence reads properly if you remove the additional noun:

√ I am going for a coffee	x Me am going for a coffee
√ The dog followed me	x The dog followed I
√ Rose spent the day with me	x Rose spent the day withI

Teenage Blues...Breaking Up with BF....

Facing a lot of malfunction relationships with your peers (friends) might leads you to be more stressful and you are so into getting someone to love you back the way you likes them, or falling in love with them. But there's a lot reason why these kind of 'monkey love' will 80% not going to work out because teenagers do fell in love with those who their think as 'cool and pretty chic' or 'handsome and famous boy' which there's more than a zillion reason why at last you will be dumped! 

While another aspects that you must not think of having any relationship with your opposite sex. The best way is try to ease your parents than you push yourself so hard to ease your significant others. I believe in any religion will ask us to be obedient towards our parents after we practice our sacred beliefs. Just maintain your thoughts on pursuing your study first than you try to imitate your circle of friends which most of them had GF and BF. It is not the end of the world if you don't have one. 

Channel your love to god the Almighty and family. Believe me, it is worth a million times to know it is secure enough to love someone who already love who you are and what you are born with. Love is not about chasing other's progress in having a relationship, or gaining popularity with whom you date with. It is the most cruel thing to me if you betray your parents' trusts that you come to school not to study, but to flirt or try to get BF or GF. Dear, it is not the time yet. 

Well, enough babbling Madam...hehehee... just bear in mind:
I AM WHAT I AM, NO ONE CAN CHANGE ME TO SOMETHING THEY WANTED ME TO BE. I LOVE MY FAMILY, NOT MORE THAN MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER.


Here's a clue of my incoming post.... a poem (FORM 4) 
Happy browsing dearies!!!

He Had Such Quiet Eyes by Bibsy Soenharjo

He had such quiet eyes

She did not realise

They were two pools of lies

Layered with thinnest ice

To her, those wuiet eyes

Were breathing desolate sighs

Imploring her to be nice

And to render him paradise

If only she’d been wise

And had listened to the advice

Never to compromise

With pleasure-seeking guys

She’d be free from ‘the hows and whys’

Now here’s a bit of advice

Be sure that nice really nice

Then you’ll never be losing at dice

Though you lose your heart once or twice
