Thanks for the person who answered my question about the "improper fraction"...I took Algebra 60 last year...and the Teacher told us that in order to make it into a "proper fraction" we should multiply the single numer (in this case: 4) by the denominator (which is 8) and add the nominator (which is 3) and then have a new fraction with the same denominator..like this: 4 x 8 + 3 over 8 = 35/8 so perhaps this is the most simplified form..but I still thank you for the explanation because it was very valuable as well...:0
When you see that v upside down on top of a word..that means it has a short sound...this is the best way to find out about some of the sounds..check the other ones as well
If you look at my answer..you will see that I have extended myself more on the explanation...hope it wil help! :0
I am a Christian woman, and the Bible teaches us that JESUS is the only one who can give us "Perfect Peace"; in fact: It is the Peace that traspasses all understanding...I do not practice religion; religion is something "superfluous". But I have the knowlede of JESUS and also a very intimate relationship with the Son of God...so when I am in turmoils in life and I am "insecure" or frightened or simply things overwhelm me, I go to HIM in prayer and He does give me the perfect peace....This is how we call HIM: "The Prince of Peace" among so many other beautiful names He has....! Did you know that GOD has different names in the Bible?
In my opinion and according to my knowledge, I believe the words : dog, gone and torn have a long o and the other word: "bold" is a short o
It has been a while since I taught Phonics to my students in Junior High (Florida), but First) I believe that when we deal with PHONICS, we have to foolow certain rules..and I remember telling my students that words that finish in "one" like "gone" has a long sound and usually short words like; "tot" "pot" and even "dog" (sorry I think I made a mistake before) they have a short sound. One of the reasons the word "bold" has a short sound, is because when you say it, if you notice..it is said very rapidly...therefore you do not hear a long sound...Another way to find out, if you have a regular English dictionary, it will show you what kind of sounds the words have, besides dividing them into fragments or syllables.
