Hi Damien

Hope you had a good day at school : darling—not long to your exams.

I’ve just found out that your father and I have to go to a movie premiere, so we won’t be here when you get home from school. Anyway, if you can just do these few things that would be great.

Go to the supermarket and buy  cat litter, bran flakes, detergent, coffee, milk, butter, bread, pizza, toilet paper, spaghetti, muesli bars, soap, crumpets, birdseed, cheese, marmalade, steak, sausages, chocolate cake mix and bananas.

Household chores scrub the bathroom, mow the lawn, mop the floor, dust, unload the dishwasher, make the beds and rake the leaves.

Your brother didn’t get a chance to do his chores so if you could  de-flea the cat, wash the dog and clean out the budgie’s cage that would be great.

Thanks darling—don’t forget to do your homework.

Be back 12ish.

Love

Mum xxx

الدرس الاول . punctuations علامات الترقيم ( the full stop . النقطة )

punctuations

1. A full stop   =========  النقطة

A full stop ends a sentence. A sentence is a complete statement usually containing a verb النقطة تنهي الجملة . الجملة هي عبارة كاملة عادة ما تحتوي فعل 2 - Full stops are also used to indicate abbreviations such as Oct. Mon. Rev. where the abbreviation  did not contain the first and last letter. Today, most people do not use a full stop after an abbreviation. النقطة عادة ما تستخدم للاشارة الى الاختصارات مثل اسماء الاشهر المختصرة او الايام . وذلك عندما لا تتضمن الاختصارات الحرف الاول والاخير للكلمة المختصرة . لايستخدم الكثير من الناس النقطة بعد  الاخصارات في زمننا الحالي
