Inventions!

Creative and Weird Inventions

Collection of innovative gadgets and creative concept designs (but some are really weird) that promise to make our lives more comfortable and exciting.

Two Way Doors

ERGON door mounting system allows the door to be opened in both directions of travel.

Bottleclip

Designed as a cheap bottle-holder that simply snaps onto any standard sized mens bicycle. Most bottles can be screwed directly into the clip.

Laser Guided Scissors

The built-in Laser helps you get straight cuts in paper and fabric, whether gift wrapping or working on a project at home or in the office.

Staircase Drawers

Step and store in style using each step as storage compartment.

K-wine Food Plates

The difference between K-wine and a traditional plate with glass holder is that K-wine moves the weight from the side to the middle of the plate. Therefore, even if the glass is full, the weight of the plate is balanced.

Zipper Earphones

Simply unzip your earphones when you want to use them, and afterwards, zip them back up for storage.

Node Power Outlet

Japanese designers have designed a power outlet that allows you to plug in more devices.

Coffee Top Caddy

Innovative coffee lid by Josh Harris is designed to help the coffee runner with people’s orders.

Ketchup Gun

This creative sauce dispenser looks just like a cartoon six-shooter and it is ideal for anyone who loves squirtable condiments such as ketchup and mustard.

Weight Watch Belt

Great motivational tool for someone that is trying to get in shape.

 

The Rolling Bench

The age old problem of wet benches has been solved by a group of Korean designers.

Carpet Alarm Clock

Alarm clock that works! To turn the alarm off, you have to get up and step on the carpet.

Bundle Box Coffee Bag

Now you can carry multiple drinks in one hand with this creative bag, designed by Sonyun Kang.

Pizza Scissors

Cut and serve hot pizza slices without the stringy cheesy messiness.

Introducing Technology

This is a good simple example to explain what technology is. Show them the picture and let them express their thoughts!

Remember! Think!

The Formula of SVA

I love to teach SVA... but I found that many of my students are having difficulties with the rules.. so i created this simple formula called the formula of SVA...it's meant for beginners and it works well on my LEP technical students... Feel free to try out!

Remember the formula:

1+s & >1-s

Important!

1. The formula reads : If the subject is 'one' add 's' to the verb; If the subject is 'more than one' remove 's' from the verb.

2. Teach students to identify SUBJECT & VERB in a sentence. Always mark the subject with this symbol '1' or '>1'.

3. Drilling technique is important here as the idea is to let students become familiar with the formula.

4. So, start with at least 10 examples before letting students do on their own. Always start with simple sentences.

Than I or Me?

Taller than I / me ??

When making a comparison with "than" do we end with a subject form or object form, "taller than I/she" or "taller than me/her." The correct response is "taller than I/she." We are looking for the subject form: "He is taller than I am/she is tall." (Except we leave out the verb in the second clause, "am" or "is.") 

Some good writers, however, will argue that the word "than" should be allowed to function as a preposition. If we can say "He is tall like me/her," then (if "than" could be prepositional like like) we should be able to say, "He is taller than me/her." It's an interesting argument, but — for now, anyway — in formal, academic prose, use the subject form in such comparisons.

We also want to be careful in a sentence such as "I like him better than she/her." The "she" would mean that you like this person better than she likes him; the "her" would mean that you like this male person better than you like that female person. (To avoid ambiguity and the slippery use of than, we could write "I like him better than she does" or "I like him better than I like her.")

The Subjunctive

Because speakers of modern English seldom use the subjunctive mood, the Old English subjunctive is difficult for us to get used to. We do still use it when stating conditions contrary to fact, as in:

If I were a carpenter,
and you were a lady,
would you marry me anyway?

Here the subjunctive were (the indicative would be was) suggests that the speaker is not in fact a carpenter.

We also use the subjunctive in noun clauses following verbs of desiring, commanding, suggesting, and so on. For example:

The king commanded that the knight go on a quest.

The king desired that the knight go on a quest.

I suggest that you be a little quieter.

I move that the bypass be routed east of town.

I wish that he were wiser.

Here the subjunctives tell us that the condition described in the noun clause is not a present reality or a future certainty, but a possibility mediated by someone's desire.

Some of these usages are disappearing: the first two examples above sound a little archaic, and it would now be more idiomatic to say "The king commanded the knight to go on a quest" and "The king wanted the knight to go on a quest," using an infinitive construction rather than a subjunctive.

Aside from these common usages, the subjunctive now appears mainly in fixed or formulaic expressions, for example, "come what may," "thanks be to God."

The good news from Old English is that verbs in the subjunctive mood are not marked for person, so you don't have a complete new paradigm to learn. The bad news is that the subjunctive is far more common in Old English than in modern English, and you must get used to seeing it in environments where you do not expect it.

When to Use GERUNDS

It is correct to use “Looking forward to meeting you soon” because the -ing verb (“meeting”) there is a gerund and functions as a noun. “Looking forward to meeting you ...” can be replaced with “Looking forward to our meeting ...” where the word “meeting” is a noun.

Another example of this usage can be seen in this sentence: “I’m not used to sleeping late” which can be replaced with “I’m not used to late nights.” In this sort of structure, “to” is a preposition and not an infinitive marker, as in “I would like to meet you soon” OR “I do not like to sleep late.”

An “-ing” is placed after the verb to make the present participle of the verb, which is used in the continuous/progressive forms of the verb, e.g. “I am eating”, “I was eating”, “I shall be eating”, etc. The present participle can also function as an adjective, as in “Managing Director”, “running commentary”, “a boring film”, “an exciting match”, etc. The only instances when we can use the “to ...ing” structure is when the “-ing” form is a gerund.

WHO and WHOM

“Whom” is the object form of “who”. We can see this in relative clauses, for example:

1. “The person who owns this book would like it back.” In this sentence, “who” is the subject of the relative clause “who owns this book”.

2. “The boy whom they beat up has made a police report.” In this sentence, “whom” is the object of the defining relative clause “whom they beat up”. The subject of that clause is “they”. However, in this sort of sentence, it is possible to use “who” or “that” instead of “whom”, or leave out “whom” altogether:

“The boy (who/that) they beat up has made a police report.”

3. “Her aunt, whom she loves very much, is in hospital.” In this sentence, “whom” is the object in the non-defining relative clause “whom she loves very much”. In less formal usage, “who” can be used instead of “whom”: “Her aunt, who she loves very much, is in hospital”.

In modern English, “whom” is considered very formal. One common use of “whom” is in the expression used in a reference or testimonial written for a scholarship applicant or job-seeker, i.e. “To Whom It May Concern”. But in questions, “who” is more often used, e.g. “Who did you give the book to?” instead of “To whom did you give the book?”
