The pressure difference that is between urban and non-urban areas start to generate winds that begin to blow from non-urban high pressure toward urban low pressure. The reappearance of cool non-urban air to exchange warm, increasing urban air finishes the urban draft sequence (Spronken-Smith and Oke 1999)
If she had told me she was a vegetarian, I wouldn't have made steak for dinner. (past time) Linguists sometimes refer to these kinds of sentences as "counterfactual" conditionals, or break them into categories of "counterfactual," and "future less vivid," (Iatridou, 2000)

Traditional Standard English (SE) For many years, the only standard for properly spoken and written English was Standard British English (SBE), also known as Received Pronunciation (RP) in the 19th century. Today, Standard American English (SAE) enjoys similar prestige on the world stage thanks to the growth of the United States' prominence as a global power and, with the advent of the computer age, the fact that word processing software has nudged standards towards SAE conventions (McArthur, 2001, p
To place must, ought to, and had better in a past time context, it is necessary to combine them with the perfect; it is the perfect morphology which provides the necessary temporal past meaning: He have gone to the bank yesterday. Must is from OE motan (be permitted); ought to is from OE agan (preterit ahte) (possess) (Moore and Knott, 1962) must ought to had have gone to the bank yesterday
]. Among NSs, the 3rd person singular -s has acquired the status of one of the "markers of in-group membership" (Seidlhofer, 2000, cited in Breiteneder, 2005, p
32). Her definition is derived from that of Palmer, and by extension those of Lyons and Jespersen, and is widely accepted among linguists (Traugott, p
Lewis demonstrates how culture is ubiquitous and is a force which influences all nations at all times, particularly when it comes to how nations view war, going to war, the benefits of war, and the ideal outcomes from war. One of the most salient points that Lewis makes and which guides the theory and development of the book is the fact that he views the American way of war to be an outgrowth of the western way of war (Lewis, 2007)
Meanwhile the tulips "eat my oxygen," the poet writes. She would like to get rid of them the same way she would like to depart from the "trappings of her life and the family she has" (Dobbs, 1977)
Critic Barbara Hardy believes that the poet gradually accepts the tulips, a process which symbolizes the poet (and patient) as being able to reluctantly accept a return to life. "The flowers really do move toward the light…do take up oxygen… [and are] inhabitants of the bizarre world of private irrational fantasy" (Hardy, 1970)
3). Jeffrey Meyers takes a rather controversial position regarding Frost's poem; Meyers suggests that the theme of the poem is "…the temptation of death, even suicide" (Meyers, 1996)
" The poet stops on the "…darkest evening of the year" to watch the woods "fill up with snow," and according to John T. Ogilvie's scholarship, the poet is caught between two worlds, the world of quiet nature and solitude, and the world of "…people and social obligations" (Ogilvie, 1959)
Eliot is truly one of the giants of literature, and besides his elite standing as a poet and writer, he was also a critic, according to Herman Rapaport. Among the interesting and poetically appropriate phrases Eliot coined was "objective correlative," by which he meant that any object, situation or event that functions as "…an adequate correlative to the poet's emotions" is an objective correlative (Rapaport, 2011, p
2). Meanwhile the late literary critic Richard Poirier believes the Frost poem is "…concerned with ownership and also with someone who cannot be or does not choose to be very emphatic about owning himself" (Poirier, 1977)
Humans have to cross though deserts sometimes in their lives, and it is usually a human crisis or fear that sends them across those lonely sands. Critic Adeel Salman, a professor at Sarah Lawrence College, explains that the entire second stanza reflects a sense of being "deprived" and hence the poet's mind -- with the loneliness and dispossession wrapped around the scene he envisions -- "gives way to the benumbing mood all around" (Salman, 2003)
The public's faith in the justice system should be stimulated in order to ensure that the system works effectively. Without faith in the system, it is most likely that the public will succumb to a sense of anarchy, or at least that criminal individuals will simply do as they wish without regard for the law (Benoit, 2011)
