And then we can tell, the state of Massachusetts where we all are living in /where we live in is in the Northeast region. Also we can tell the largest city in population is in that region and the Statue of Liberty is located in this region and then we learned New York City is not the capital of the state.

America with no 'the' Adriane Diana I learned of the four regions of the United States, which are the Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. The state of Vermont is one of the coldest states. The highest mountain of the Northeast region is in the state of New Hampshire, it is called Mount Washington. The capital of New York is Albany and not New York City.

In the Northeast part are/is the state of New York City but it is not a capital. The capital is Albany. (I learned about) also other states New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, 'and' Pennsylvania. One of the states in the South is Florida. The capital is Tallahasse, but also the capital of the US is located in the South. It's Washington D.C. The music legends was/were in the South too. Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash both [they] stayed in Nashville, Tennesee. Conjunctions Students need to send me your journals. Remind, text, email. I owe feedback to some student for last week. I will send it tomorrow. ====================== Review of types of Conjunctions (slides) Subordinating Conjunctions (slides) There are 50+ subordinating conjunction word and phrases. We will learn the most common subordinating conjunctions. WABBITS W = when where while A = after although B = before B = because I = if T = though S = since The purpose for using subordinating conjunctions is to show a relationship - between two things. Examples: time, place, condition, comparison / opposition, manner, and reason (cause and effect). A subordinating conjunction word or phrase begins a subordinate clause (not a full sentence). The subordinate clause add information or more meaning about the main sentence (a full sentence). Examples from volunteer students... After After the class, I have time to do my homework. After finishing to eat, I will go to take a shower. After work, I am going shopping. Because I need take all the covid vaccines because I don't want to be sick. I will go to bed early tonight because I have to wake up at 5:00. I can't do my homework because I didn't follow the teacher. Because I am getting sick I will go to the hospital. Out of time.... We will continue on Thursday. Good job students. It looks like we are already beginning to understand how subordinating conjunctions work. End class.
