Starting a Statement with “Because”
English students are also often told that “because” should not start a
statement because it is a subordinate conjunction. It is often said that it needs
a clause before it can relate to the one after. However, you can reverse the
position of the clause and you will still be fine.
For example:
We did not visit the cinema yesterday because we were grounded.
Because we were grounded, we did not visit the cinema yesterday.
MCQs: Choose the appropriate options from the statements below:
It felt so ____ to be sharing the same stage with my idol. (A. wird B. weird 
C. wierd)
Answer: B


The new ____ teacher is just too hostile. (A. sceince B. sciene C. science)
Answer: C
Writing/Saying Dates
Dates specify the specific, day, month, and year that an event took place.
Dates are vital because they serve historical and reference purposes. There
are rules that guide the way dates are to be written in English. Below are
some wrong ways people write dates and the appropriate way to go about
them:
You should always write years in numerals except at the beginning of a
sentence.

football lovers.
Correct: 
The year 1994 was indeed a memorable year for football lovers.
Correct: 
Nineteen ninety-four was indeed a memorable year for football
lovers.
Use cardinal numbers (one, two, three) and not ordinal numbers (first,
second, third) when referring to a specific date in the month-day date format.
Incorrect: Benjamin Burton was born on May 13
th
.
Correct: 
Benjamin Burton was born on May 13.
When using the month-day-year format, place commas after the day and the
year.
