ഉദാഹരണങ്ങൾ.
My mother has been ill a whole year. A year has
twelve months, and a week has seven days. On Sunday
we go to church, and on week-days we go to school. When
do you get up in the morning? We generally rise at six
o'clock, but sometimes at five o'clock. That is very early.
I always sleep till seven o'clock. In the morning we are
always diligent: we learn our lessons, or write our exercise;
but in the afternoon and in the evening we often play in
the garden, or take a walk in the fields. Hours are short,
but minutes are still shorter. Where have you been all
the forenoon? We have been in the garden. Have you
not seen us? We must go to bed; it is late. What
o'clock is it? It is nine o'clock. I have been very diligent
today; I am very tired, and will go to bed directly. So
good night.
