My Latest Articles On Fragrantica

I am a devout perfume writer, among other things. Very lovely fragrances sometimes ignite the light of lyrics, which is why I started writing poetry a long time ago. 

Two anthologies have included some of my poems: Anthology Volume I: Writings from the Sudden Denouement Literary Collective and Darker Objects.

Master English Grammar: Sequence of Tenses

What is the Sequence of Tenses?
✅ The rules governing verb tenses are dictated by logic; an action in the future obviously cannot happen before an action in the past. In writing, it’s a matter of looking at your clauses and sentences and determining when each action is happening relative to everything else. The past must come before the present, and the present before the future, etc.
Pay particular attention to the verb sequence when you have a dependent clause before an independent clause, or a result clause before the if-clause.

✅ When an independent clause is in the past tense, any dependent clauses must also be written in the past tense, not the present tense or the future tense. Consider the example below for an illustration of this rule:
The cat was bathing because his feet are dirty.
The cat was bathing because his feet will be dirty.

✅ Because the tense of the independent clause is in the past (was bathing), the verb in the dependent clause should also be in the past, as illustrated in the sentence below:
The cat was bathing because his feet were dirty.

🎄20 Days Of Christmas

💥”Christmas my child, is love in action…When you love someone, you give to them, as God gives to us.
The greatest gift He ever gave was the Person of His Son, sent to us in human form so
that we might know what God the Father is really like!
Every time we love, every time we give, it’s Christmas.” – Dale Evans

🎄Art – Jenny Nyström (1854-1946), Boy with the New Year Bell

🎄20 Days Of Christmas

💥Following the (Romanian) chaos of the last two weeks, when I was somewhat on the brink of a heart attack, I can now finally concentrate on the most beautiful days of winter.

💥I am going to start publishing the most beautiful Christmas paintings today.

🎄Christmas is the time of enlightenment, inner warmth, and profound joy, and I particularly liked what T.S. Eliot said in “The Cultivation of Christmas Trees”.

⚡️“Christmas in Romania means drummers dressed up in bearskins to spook evil spirits and joyous children in colorful apparel chanting at doorways: ‘Do you welcome the Christmas Eve’s carolers?’” – Iulia Halatz

🎄Let’s start growing our Inventory of Light with the most beautiful Christmas paintings.

The Best Writing Tip/ Der beste Schreib-Tipp

Leave a reply

❤️For our German readers

Hier ist der beste Schreib-Tipp, den ich kenne.

Bevor du etwas sendest oder teilst, lies es laut vor. Dies gilt für E-Mails, Social-Media-Beiträge, Artikel und sogar Textnachrichten, sofern sie als wichtig erachtet werden.

Es laut vorzulesen, als ob man einer Gruppe von Menschen eine Geschichte erzählt, ist der Schlüssel. Als ich früher meine Texte laut las, murmelte ich sie und verwendete nicht den passenden Ton oder die richtige Geschwindigkeit. Ich würde immer Dinge vergessen, und einige Teile würden immer noch schlecht klingen.

Ich habe damit in meinen frühen Schreibtagen angefangen. Überraschenderweise begann ich mit Poesie, und unsicher in meinen Fähigkeiten, ging ich kalkulierte Risiken ein, um sie zu verbessern. Es hat wie ein Zauber gewirkt.

Only English In The Classroom?/ Nur Englisch im Klassenzimmer?

Leave a reply

❤️For our German readers

🔔Nur Englisch im Klassenzimmer?

💆Ja, ich habe auch internationale Studierende, mit denen ich keine gemeinsame Sprache spreche.

💆Meine Schüler haben nie Schwierigkeiten mit dem Verständnis, da ich bereit bin, alle Konzepte und Begriffe auf einfachere Weise zu erklären.

❤️Das größte Kompliment, das ich von meinen Schülern erhalten habe, war, dass sie Englisch gelernt haben, ohne zu merken, dass sie etwas gelernt haben. Der Kampf war nicht vorhanden.

✨Das ist die Kraft des Gesprächs NUR auf Englisch!

💸Dennoch stelle ich sicher, dass das Lernen auch außerhalb des Klassenzimmers stattfindet, indem ich meinen Schülern:

➡️Das Nachbereitungsblatt nach jeder Sitzung.

➡️Videos, die ich über eine Vielzahl von Themen gemacht habe, einschließlich Grammatikthemen, aktueller Nachrichten, der globalen Wirtschaft, neuem englischen Vokabular und grundlegenden wirtschaftlichen Konzepten.

➡️Artikel und Bücher aus meiner digitalen Bibliothek, die ich in 20 Jahren Lehrtätigkeit aufgebaut habe.
