You Are My Everything
When I went to bed last night, my last thought was of you.
When I woke up this morning, my first thought was of you.
You are my everything; my sun, my stars, my sky.
You are my everything... and this is the reason why:
For when we met it was fate, fate from the soul within.
For when we met it was choice, choice to be your friend.
For when we first laughed together, I knew it was meant to be.
For when I fell in love, I knew you had fallen in love with me.
You are my everything, my breath belongs to you.
You are my everything, hold these words to be true.
You are my everything and
I'll always love you...
and whats more
I know you'll always love me too.
You Are My Everything
Forever Broken
Forever Broken
I was once broken,
Like an old toy that could never be fixed.
For I was destroyed.
My whole life was nothing but a pile of shattered glass,
Worthless.
Until I found you,
For your love put me back together.
You were my world,
My everything.
I loved you,
For I had found the one with the power to mend my broken heart.
At least thats what I thought till you let go.
I then realized I cannot be loved,
For if you will not love me and want me,
No one will.
Therefore I am,
Forever broken.
If I, Should I?
If I, Should I?
If i climb starways to heaven, will I miss out the stars?
If I just lay right here, who's to stop the cars?
If I meet with your skin, who will see my scars?
Is this really my cage, when I can see no bars?
Should I take the first step, or should I sit and wait?
Should I turn towards, or quicken up my gait?
Should I question why, or accept it as my fate?
Is the time now right, or is it far too late?
ACTIVE AND PASSIVE SENTENCES
Active Sentence
In an active sentence, the subject of the sentence performs the action of the verb. The active sentence of a verb simply denotes the form of the verb used when the subject is the doer of the action. In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb.
These examples show that the subject is doing the verb's action.
Because the subject does or "acts upon" the verb in such sentences, the sentences are said to be in the active voice.
Passive Sentence
One can change the normal word order of many active sentences (those with a direct object) so that the subject is no longer active, but is, instead, being acted upon by the verb - or passive.
Note in these examples how the subject-verb relationship has changed.
Because the subject is being "acted upon" (or is passive), such sentences are said to be in the passive voice.
NOTE: Colorful parrots live in the rainforests cannot be changed to passive voice because the sentence does not have a direct object.
To change a sentence from active to passive voice, do the following:
1. Move the active sentence's direct object into the sentence's subject slot
2. Place the active sentence's subject into a phrase beginning with the preposition by
3. Add a form of the auxiliary verb be to the main verb and change the main verb's form
Because passive voice sentences necessarily add words and change the normal doer-action-receiver of action direction, they may make the reader work harder to understand the intended meaning.
As the examples below illustrate, a sentence in active voice flows more smoothly and is easier to understand than the same sentence in passive voice.
It is generally preferable to use the ACTIVE voice.
To change a passive voice sentence into an active voice sentence, simply reverse the steps shown above.
1. Move the passive sentence's subject into the active sentence's direct object slot
2. Remove the auxiliary verb be from the main verb and change main verb's form if needed
3. Place the passive sentence's object of the preposition by into the subject slot.
Because it is more direct, most writers prefer to use the active voice whenever possible.
The passive voice may be a better choice, however, when
- the doer of the action is unknown, unwanted, or unneeded in the sentence
Examples
- the writer wishes to emphasize the action of the sentence rather than the doer of the action
Examples
Using the appropriate tense of the verb "to be" and adding the past participle usually forms a passive voice sentence. In the following examples note that the tense of the verb to be in the passive voice is the same as the tense of the main verb in the active voice.
Example verb: to keep
Verb tense or form --- active voice --- passive voice
Simple present --- keeps --- is kept
Present continuous --- is keeping --- is being kept
Simple past --- kept --- was kept
Past continuous --- was keeping --- was being kept
Present perfect --- have kept --- have been kept
Past perfect --- had kept --- had been kept
future --- will keep --- will be kept
Conditional present --- would keep --- would be kept
Conditional past --- would have kept --- would have been kept
present infinitive --- to keep --- to be kept
perfect infinitive --- to have kept --- to have been kept
present participle --- keeping --- being kept
perfect participle --- having kept --- having been kept
Example sentences:
Active: I keep the milk in the fridge.
Passive: The milk is kept in the fridge.
Active: They stole the car.
Passive: The car was stolen.
Active: They are repairing the roof.
Passive: The roof is being repaired.
Active: A dog bit him.
Passive: He was bitten by a dog.

Subject-Verb Agreement
Subject-Verb Agreement
Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.
In present tenses, nouns and verbs form plurals in opposite ways:
nouns ADD an s to the singular form,
BUT
verbs REMOVE an s from the singular form.
Here are nine subject-verb agreement rules.
1. A phrase or clause between subject and verb does not change the number of the subject.
Examples:
2. Indefinite pronouns as subjects
Singular indefinite pronoun subjects take singular verbs.
Plural indefinite pronoun subjects take plural verbs.
PLURAL: several, few, both, many
Some indefinite pronouns may be either singular or plural: with uncountable, use singular; with countable, use plural.
EITHER SINGULAR OR PLURAL: some, any, none, all, most
Sugar is uncountable; therefore, the sentence has a singular verb.
Marbles are countable; therefore, the sentence has a plural verb.
3. Compound subjects joined by and are always plural.
4. With compound subjects joined by or/nor, the verb agrees with the subject nearer to it.
In the above example, the plural verb are agrees with the nearer subject actors.
In this example, the singular verb is agrees with the nearer subject director.
5. Inverted Subjects must agree with the verb.
6. Collective Nouns (group, jury, crowd, team, etc.) may be singular or plural, depending on meaning.
In this example, the jury is acting as one unit; therefore, the verb is singular.
In this example, the jury members are acting as twelve individuals; therefore, the verb is plural.
7. Titles of single entities (books, organizations, countries, etc.) are always singular.
Plural form subjects with a singular meaning take a singular verb. (e.g. news, measles, mumps, physics, etc.)
Plural form subjects with singular or plural meaning take a singular or plural verb, depending on meaning. (e.g. politics, economics, etc.)
In this example, politics is a single topic; therefore, the sentence has a singular verb.
In this example, politics refers to the many aspects of the situation; therefore, the sentence has a plural verb.
Plural form subjects with a plural meaning take a plural verb. (e.g. scissors, trousers)
Note: In this example, the subject of the sentence is pair; therefore, the verb must agree with it. (Because scissors is the object of the preposition, scissors does not affect the number of the verb.)
9. With subject and subjective complement of different number, the verb always agrees with the subject.
10-A. With one of those ________ who, use a plural verb.
The above example implies that others besides Hannah like to read comic books. Therefore, the plural verb is the correct form to use.
10-B. With the only one of those ________who, use a singular verb.
The above example implies that no one else except for Hannah likes to read comic books. Therefore, the singular verb is the correct for to use.
11-A. With the number of _______, use a singular verb.
11-B. With a number of _______, use a plural verb.
12. With every ______ and many a ________, use a singular verb.
