The frog in the well is a very common phrase, which we could have been hearing since our childhood.  The frog literally speaking, is very comfortable creature that dwells in the well. Its life is so sheltered that it is very happy, cozy, and does not want to come out of it, though at times, complains of being stuck in a small place.  When it looks up, it perceives that there is a small opening, and believes, there is something fishy up there, but does not want to try because it thinks it is quite risky, perhaps, afraid of others, and stays back where it is and leaving the life to go on. Since birth, our thoughts are so constricted that we are told what we need to do, either by our parents, neighbors, friends, peers, society, etc...  Going beyond these thoughts would mean a sin or crime.  We are so conditioned by these thoughts that we would not dare to think beyond.  We grow up like this. Generally speaking, human mind is so fluid that it does not stop...

Medical transcription is the word that many of us could have come across many times or perhaps, not even heard about it at all.  This article is usual for everyone, for some, the word medical transcription might be a surprising work or bitter pill to swallow because of the nature of its job, perhaps, sedentary, it basically involves lot of hard work and strenuous, and expectancy from the client is very high.  Strictly speaking, only about 5 to 10% of the population in India know about this job.  Frankly speaking, this job is very good and most suitable for people who have good knowledge in medicine and who can speak very good English.  It is also suitable for people, especially girls, because they can work from home, at the comfort of their work station. Now, coming to the point of defining the nature of job, there are two things that are involved, one is typing and one is transcription.  Many of us get perplexed about both terms, everyone thinks, both...

1. Use verbs that agree with a subject, not with a noun that is part of a modifying phrase or clause between verb and subject: “The pot of eggs   is   boiling on the stove.” A class of students, An army of soldiers, a choir of singers, a crew of sailors, a band of musicians, a bunch of crooks, a crowd of people/spectators. 2.  Two singular subjects connected by  or, either/or,  or  neither/nor  require a singular verb.

Either  Kiana  or  Casey   is  helping  today with stage decorations. 3.  The verb in an  or, either/or,  or  neither/nor  sentence agrees with the noun or pronoun closest to it. Examples: Neither the  plates  nor the serving  bowl   goes  on that shelf. Neither the servi...

CLAUSE :  A clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a predicate. Every complete sentence is made up of at least one clause. Michael bought a new computer. (One sentence, one clause) Michael bought a new computer, but he still has the old one. (One sentence, two clauses) Although he still has his old one, Michael now has a new computer. (One sentence, two clauses) AN INDEPENDENT CLAUSE (OR MAIN CLAUSE) makes sense by itself. It expresses a complete thought. Michael bought a new computer. (One independent clause) Michael bought a new computer, but he still has the old one. [Two independent clauses (Coordinating conjunctions don't count as part of the clause.)] Although he still has his old one, Michael now has a new computer. (Only the second clause is independent.) A DEPENDENT CLAUSE (OR SUBORDINATE CLAUSE ) does not make sense by itself. It does not express a complete thought. Although he still has his old one. (Without the independent clause...
