The Crazy PLencil
by J. Robbins


My pencil broke—I needed one
to take my spelling test.
I looked into my desk
and found one different from the rest.
This pencil was not yellow,
but a special shade of red.
I read the word upon the side:
"PLencil" is what it said.
I got a piece of paper out
to write a spelling word;
Instead of writing what I meant,
I wrote something absurd!
I tried to write down "scientist,"
but it came out "skyientist";
And on and on the pLencil wrote
a crazy spelling list.
I know you won't believe me,
but a rotten joke's been played,
and, Teacher, you just ought to give
the pLencil this bad grade.

Why did Churchill give this response to the Munich
Agreement?

Answers

Answer:

When Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement, essentially giving Czechoslovakia to the Germans in an attempt to prevent war, Churchill opposed the pact both because it was dishonorable-he said it brought "shame" to England-and because he believed it was only forestalling, not preventing, the war he recognized was inevitable. He thought it would only make the situation worse later to appease Hitler rather than confronting him militarily over Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland..

Answer:

to condemn the agreement because it was dangerous for Britain

i. The old woman looked up at the sky and said, “Dark clouds are a sign of rain.” ii. “Where will you be tomorrow, in case I have to call you?” she said.
iii. “Be calm and listen to me,” the principal said.

Answers

Answer:

1. The old woman looked up at the sky and said that dark clouds were a sign of rain.

2. She asked me where I would be the next day in case she had to call me.

3. The principal told us to be calm and to listen to him.

Explanation:

To report an affirmative sentence, we pay attention to the verb tense. We use the past form of the original tense used in the sentence. We also change the subject, according to whom the speaker is talking to. Expressions of time must be altered to fit the new tense as well (sentence 1)

When reporting a question, we must not only observe the rules above, but also the fact that it will no longer be structured as a question in the new sentence (sentence 2). As for the imperative, we use verbs such as "ask" or "tell", and the reported sentence uses "to" or "not to" (sentence 3).

NOTE:

There is something important to note about the original sentences: not one of them reveals to whom the speakers are talking to. Therefore, there can be different possibilities of reported speech, especially for sentences 2 and 3. Let's use sentence 2 as an example. The original is: “Where will you be tomorrow, in case I have to call you?” she said. But we don't know who "you" is. I chose to make the reported sentence by transforming "you" into "me", as if the woman was talking to me. But she could have been talking to someone else - a man, for instance. In that case, the reported sentence would be: She asked him where he would be the next day in case she had to call him.
