This document contains an English placement test with multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions to assess proficiency. It covers grammar, vocabulary, and language usage. The test contains 5 sections - choosing the best single answer for questions, choosing the best answer for blanks, underlining the correct parts of sentences, putting sentences in the correct order, and finding specific parts of speech/elements in a short text.
This document discusses the three main types of sentences in English: simple sentences, compound sentences, and complex sentences. It provides definitions and examples of each type. For simple sentences, it notes they have a subject and predicate. For compound sentences, it explains they join two simple sentences with coordinating conjunctions or semicolons. Complex sentences join an independent and dependent clause, where the dependent clause begins with a subordinating conjunction. The document provides exercises for readers to practice identifying and writing each sentence type. It concludes with references for further information.
This document contains a daily lesson log for an English class in Grade 5. It outlines the objectives, content, learning resources, procedures, and evaluation for lessons on composing clear sentences using conjunctions and adverbs. The objectives are to identify and use coordinating/subordinating conjunctions and adverbs of intensity/frequency correctly in sentences. Lesson procedures include drills, exercises, and activities to practice these grammar structures. Student mastery and areas needing remediation are evaluated.

This document contains a grammar guide and exercises about using the simple past tense in English. It begins with notes explaining how to form the simple past of regular and irregular verbs. It also covers the past forms of the verb "to be". The rest of the document consists of 16 exercises practicing simple past verbs. The exercises include filling in blanks, choosing correct verbs, writing questions and answers, and other activities to help learners practice using simple past verbs.
This document contains a 16-page grammar worksheet on the simple past tense for ESL students. It includes explanations of how to form the simple past of regular and irregular verbs, examples, and 15 exercises to practice using the simple past correctly in sentences. The exercises cover using the past form of "be", choosing the correct past verb, answering questions in the past tense, filling in verb charts, and more.
The document provides lessons on the different aspects of verbs including definitions, examples, and exercises. It begins with defining verbs and aspects of verbs. Aspect refers to the form or structure of the action, while tense refers to time. The simple, progressive, perfect, and perfect progressive aspects are then defined and examples are given of how to form verbs in each tense. Activities at the end require identifying verb aspects, using the appropriate verb form based on tense, and answering multiple choice questions to assess understanding.
The document discusses different types of clauses and sentence structures, including independent clauses which can stand alone as a sentence, dependent clauses which cannot, and the four sentence types: simple with one independent clause, compound with two independent clauses joined by a conjunction, complex with one independent and one dependent clause, and compound-complex with two or more independent clauses and one dependent clause. Understanding these clause and sentence structure helps improve writing success.
This document contains a quiz with multiple choice and true/false questions about grammar concepts for English language learners. It also includes explanations of grammar terms and short passages about Van Gogh with grammar analysis. Finally, there are examples of different types of adverb clauses and exercises matching clauses and identifying the type of adverb clause.
The document provides information about conjunctions:
- Students will be put into groups and given word strips to form sentences within 10 minutes. The first group to finish wins.
- The objectives are to define conjunction, recognize different types (coordinating, subordinating, correlative), and use coordinating conjunctions accurately.
- Conjunctions connect words or groups of words. The main types are coordinating (and, or, but, so), subordinating (after, before, although), and correlative (both/and, either/or, not only/but also). Examples of each are given.
APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network (SWWE Network)
Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

Blind spots in AI and Formulation Science, IFPAC 2025.pdfAjaz Hussain

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spotssystemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AIthat could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.
