Hello grade 5!

You are now watching the support video which was prepared to help you
complete week 2 mondays questions from your DLR textbook.

For the first part of today's DLR activity, you will work on sentence correction and for
number one, there are two things which I would like to discuss about.

First, I would like to talk about the difference between the words get and have.

The word get or got is used when we are communicating or showing that something is or
was received from another person, right? Do you agree with that? For example, in the
sentence I got an ice cream from my dad, the word got is showing and explaining that an
ice cream was received from dad. On the other hand, have means have. It doesn't
communicate or explain anything about receiving something from somebody. So, the
sentence I have an ice cream means just that.

Next, I want to talk about when to use the word no. Let's say that you didn't get any
homework. Well, there are two ways you can explain or communicate that situation.
One way is, you can say, I have no homework. And another way to say that is, I did not
or didn't get any homework. In the second sentence, I didn't or, actually, couldn't use the
word no because the word no can only be used when the word not is not used in the
same sentence, like in the first sentence. However, in the second sentence, the word not
was used. For this reason, I had to use the word any instead of no. So, I guess the point
I'm trying to make and share here is, the words any and no are used in similar ways,
but they are used in specific situations and under certain or particular circumstances.

Next, for question 2, I also have two things which I would like to talk about and, first, I
want to talk about apostrophes. Apostrophe which looks like this, similar to a comma,
for example, is used when writing contractions, which are words made by mixing two
words together, like can't, don't, and didn't. And apostrophes are also used when we try
to show possession or who the owner/user is. For example, when we want to talk about a
house which is used by Kenji, we say Kenji's house, and we spell it like this. When we
are talking about more than one owner or user for example, students', as in this is the
students' classroom, we spell students' like this. The apostrophe comes after the plural
form of student.

Next, I want to talk about how we show dialogues in writing. Dialogues are basically
things which are said, and when we want to show them in writing, we use two symbols
which are commas and quotation marks. Let's say that we want to show in writing that
Hiromi was very happy with the dinner which her mom cooked and said that dinner
was delicious. We can write that like this: Hiromi said, "dinner was delicious." And yes,
the end or second quotation mark always comes after a comma, period, question mark,
or exclamation point.

Alright, now for the second part of today's DLR activity, you will practice and are asked
to use the information within the same sentence to figure out the meaning of a word,
and the sample sentence for number 3 is
