🛑 Irena Sendler smuggled children in boxes, suitcases and caskets, saving the lives of more than 2,500 Jewish children.
🛑 During World War II, she watched in horror as the Nazis forced Jewish people to live in a ghetto in Warsaw, Poland where disease ran rampant.
🛑 Soon, it became clear that the Nazis intended to exterminate the Jews. That’s when Sendler took courageous action. To gain access to the ghetto, she pretended to be a nurse. She used a fake I.D. and told German soldiers she was there to deliver supplies and care for the sick.
🛑 In 1942, she asked 10 close friends to help her save as many children as she could. What she was asking of her friends was punishable by death. Even so, her group grew to 25 people who were willing to risk life and limb for the cause.

🅾 Scientists hope to find cure for snakebites 🅾
🔴 Scientists hope to find a snakebite cure. They are using technology used to find HIV anti-bodies. They want to use human anti-bodies in their cure. Snakebite is treated using anti-venom. This is made from the snake's venom. A professor said they are making the 'next generation' of snakebite cures. These will cure any snakebite.
🔴 Snakebites kill 140,000 people a year. About 400,000 people get terrible injuries and stress. About 250 types of snake have a dangerous venom. Every venom is very different. This makes finding a cure difficult. Someone said snakebite was, "the biggest public health crisis you have never heard of".

Sentence Parts
🍃🍃❤️❤️🍃🍃
✅ ‘What are the Parts of the Sentence?
🗞 Within a sentence, there are three main parts that make up a sentence:
👤 the subject, the verb, and the complement.
🛡 1. Subject. The subject is either a noun or pronoun and answers the question "Who?" or “What?" before the verb. The subject performs action, receives action, or is in the state of being.
💎Ex: Jamie plays soccer.
🛡 2. Verb. The verb indicates whether the subject performs action, receives action or is in a state of being. The verb may include helping words called
auxiliaries.
💎Ex: The bus stopped for us.
(subject performs action.)
💎Ex: Diane was paid for her car.
(subject receives action.)
💎Ex: The grocery list is on the table.
(subject s in the state of being.)
📛📛 Note 📛📛 : Any form of the verb be indicates the state of being when used alone (is, am are, was, were).
📛📛 Note 📛📛 : The verb usually comes after the subject, but in some cases it precedes the subject. This occurs when a question is asked or when a sentence begins with there or where.
🛡 3. Complement. Many sentences also contain a complement, which completes the meaning of the sentence and answers the questions “What?" or "Whom?* after the verb.
💎 Ex: The fire has destroyed the house. (what?)
💎Ex. The new vice president is Michael Gates. (whom?)
🗞There are Three Types of Complements: the Direct Object,
the Predicate
✅ Nominative, and the Predicate Adjective.
🛡 « Adirect object is a noun or pronoun that completes the meaning of the sentence and answers "Whom?" or "What?" after the verb. It receives
the action of the verb; it never refers back o the subject. It can only occur when the verb indicates action.
💎 Ex: Jeremy hit the ball.
(what?)
🛡 + A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that completes the meaning of a sentence and answers “Whom?* or “What?* after the verb. It refers back to and renames the subject; it does not receive the
action of the verb. It can only occur when the verb indicates state of being.
💎 Ex: Jeremy is my teacher.
(who?) (what?)
🛡 + A predicate adjective completes the meaning of a sentence and answers "What?" after the verb. It refers back to and describes the subject; it does not receive the action of the verb. It can only occur when the verb indicates state of being.
💎 Ex: Jeremy is smart
(what?)
📛Remember📛 : Within a sentence, there are three main parts that make up a sentence: the subject, the verb, and the complement.
