https://www.englishpage.com/index.html
Search
for good website that teach English.
Go
to the library and take out some books. Find books that on subjects that you
find interesting.
Take
control of your own learning.
I
don’t think you should rely on one person, for example, a teacher, to be the
source of all of your learning material.
Jump
into the pool and swim!
Be
your own teacher. Be a self-directed learner.
I
can help if you have questions.

NOUN CLAUSES:

Noun clauses – use verbs – mind, brain
A. think, understand, know, feel, believe, remember, forget,
say

A + B = make a noun clause
In general, EF6 student find noun clauses to be not that difficult.

I think that SV.

You can use noun clauses in past, present, and future.
past tense: I didn’t know why my dog was sleeping so much.
present tense: Sarah doesn’t know why her daughter is so happy
today.
future tense: Junko will never understand why her brother left Japan.

This level of writing is appropriate for UBC, job, VCC, and any business
or personal writing.
Junko believes that she will get a good job when she finishes
college. main clause + noun cl + adverb cl
I did not teach ‘if’, for noun clauses, but it seems fine.
She does not know if her sister will come to the
party.
I don’t teach ‘if’ for noun clauses because people will confuse it
with ‘if’ for adverb clauses.
To avoid confusion, I focus on the clearest words I can think of
for noun clauses:
A. think, understand, know, feel, believe, remember, forget,
say
B. that how why what
A + B = make a noun clause
