1Know the parts of speech. These are the types of words that make up the language, and they are nouns, adjectives, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections, and sometimes articles.[1]To put sentences together properly, you must understand what the parts of speech are and how they function in sentences.
Nouns are the elements that usually perform the action in a sentence, such as a person, place, thing, idea, emotion, animal, or event. Nouns include Sally, Paris, sand , philosophy , happiness, dog, and birthday.
Adjectives modify nouns and describe aspects or characteristics of nouns. Adjectives include red, funny, lazy, large, and short.
Pronouns take the place of nouns. There are personal subject pronouns (such as I, she, and they), personal object pronouns (such as us, you, it, and them), personal possessive pronouns (such as mine, yours, his, hers, and theirs), and relative pronouns (such as who, which, that, and whose).
Verbs indicate actions or states of being and tell what the noun is doing. Verbs include run, sing, type, be, and walk.
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, conjunctions, prepositions, and other adverbs. They are words like quickly, well, and slowly. These words often end in –ly.
Prepositions indicate relationships in time, space, or direction. Prepositions include to, in, on, over, of, and across.
Conjunctions join nouns, clauses, phrases, and sentences. Coordinating conjunctions link independent clauses, and they are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so (remember FANBOYS). Subordinating conjunctions link dependent clauses, and they include because, if, since, while, and although.
Interjections are words that indicate emotions. These include oh, hey, ouch, and wow. They are often followed by exclamation points.
Articles are used to modify and define nouns. The is a definite article, and a and an are the indefinite articles.

Since 2019, we have been working to identify government policy changes that could improve the lives of Canadians, including in the education sector.
We identified a need for a website that could help parents learn about their options when it comes to K-12 schooling – government-run schools, non-government schools, questions to ask potential schools, information on support for homeschooling and more.
You can find those details on this site and if you think there’s something important, we should add – please let us know.
Alternatively, if you would like to learn more about policies that could improve educational offerings available to parents, you can find our research if you click here. Thank you for visiting this site!

In countries with weak health systems, vital sexual and reproductive health services are too often beyond the reach of women and girls. This means pregnancy and childbirth can be a death sentence, women and girls may go without family planning, and survivors of sexual violence may go without care.
UNFPA is on the ground in over 150 countries, supporting the most vulnerable with life-saving services. Donate to UNFPA:
So pregnant women can receive life-saving antenatal care, safe delivery services and newborn care.
So families in crisis can access critical emergency supplies.
So women can have access to safe and voluntary family planning, which is central to women’s empowerment.
So midwives get the training and tools to avert maternal and newborn deaths.
So survivors of sexual violence are provided with essential health services.

“Indeed, God chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran above all people of their time. They are descendants of one another. And God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
We recite all this to you O Prophet as one of the signs and as a wise reminder. Indeed, the example of Jesus in the sight of God is like that of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him, ‘Be!’ And he was! This is the truth from your Lord, so do not be one of those who doubt.”
“Then she returned to her people, carrying him. They said in shock, ‘O Mary! You have certainly done a horrible thing! O sister of Aaron! Your father was not an indecent man, nor was your mother unchaste.’ So she pointed to the baby. They exclaimed, ‘How can we talk to someone who is an infant in the cradle? ‘Jesus declared, ‘I am truly a servant of God. He has destined me to be given the Scripture and to be a prophet. He has made me a blessing wherever | go, and bid me to establish prayer and give alms-tax as long as | live, and to be kind to my mother. He has not made me arrogant or defiant. Peace be upon me the day ! was born, the day | die, and the day | will be raised back to life!’ That is Jesus, Son of Mary. And this is a word of truth, about which they dispute.” THE QUR’AN, CHAPTER 19, VERSES 27 TO 34
THE QUR’AN, CHAPTER 3, VERSE 58 TO 60
Remember when the wife of Imran said, ‘My Lord! I dedicate what is in my womb entirely to Your service, so accept it from me. You alone are truly the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.’ When she delivered, she said, ‘My Lord! I have given birth to a girl,’—and God fully knew what she had delivered— ’and the male is not like the female. I have named her Mary, and I seek Your protection for her and her offspring from Satan, the accursed.’” Jesus was from the noble family of Imran, a family chosen by God. Mary’s mother, Hannah, wanted a boy as she felt a male would be more dutiful and of service to the Divine. God, however, sends a powerful timeless message. Women’s servitude to God is equal to a man’s. THE QUR’AN, CHAPTER 3, VERSES 33 TO 36

In fact, women have many abilities that men do not have. They can give birth and nurture future generations of pious believers. The status of a person before God is not based on their gender, wealth, beauty, lineage, intellectual capabilities, physical strength, power or anything else material.
“Whoever does good, whether male or female, and is a believer, We will surely bless them with a goodlife, and We will certainly reward them according to the best of their deeds.” THE QUR’AN, CHAPTER 16, VERSES 97
“He will send him as a messenger to the Children of Israel: ‘| have come to you with a sign from your Lord: | will make for you a bird from clay, breathe into it, and it will become a ‘real’ bird—by God’s Will. | will heal the blind and the leper and raise the dead to life—by God’s Will. And | will prophesize what you eat and store in your houses. Surely in this is a sign for you if you truly believe. And | will confirm the Torah revealed before me and legalize some of what had been forbidden to you.
| have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so be mindful of God and obey me. Surely God is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him alone. This is the Straight Path.’”
THE QUR’AN, CHAPTER 3, VERSES 49 TO 51
According to the Qur’an and the Bible, Jesus performed amazing miracles. Both books directly link those miracles to God’s power, so Jesus did miracles only with God’s permission and authority as he himself was just a human.
There are unique miracles mentioned in the Qur’an that are not found in the Bible. One of these is when Jesus formed a clay bird and then blew into it and it became a real bird by God’s permission.
“The Messiah, Son of Mary, was no more than a messenger. Many messengers had come and gone before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They both ate food. See how We make the signs clear to them, yet see how they are deluded from the truth! Say, O Prophet,’How can you worship besides God those who can neither harm nor benefit you? And God alone is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.’” THE QUR’AN, CHAPTER 5, VERSES 75 TO 76
“O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes regarding your faith; say nothing about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, Son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of God and the fulfilment of His Word through Mary and a spirit created by a command from Him. So believe in God and His messengers and do not say, “Trinity.” Stop!—for your own good. God is only One God. Glory be to Him! He is far above having a son! To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And God is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.” THE QUR’AN, CHAPTER 4, VERSE 171
Say, O believers, ‘We believe in God and what has been revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to God we all submit.” THE QUR’AN, CHAPTER 2, VERSE 136 –Jesus, just like the prophets before him, came to call people to the worship of God alone. His message was not some strange new religion. He did not preach his divinity or the concept of the Trinity.
“Then in the footsteps of the prophets, Wesent Jesus, Son of Mary, confirming the Torah revealed before him. And We gave him the Gospel containing guidance and light and confirming what was revealed in the Torah—a guide and a lesson to the God-fearing.”THE QUR’AN, CHAPTER 5, VERSE 46
God has sent messengers with divine scriptures throughout history. The purpose of the Injeel [Gospel] was to call people back to the worship of God alone
“They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, though it was made to appear like that to them; those that disagreed about him are full of doubt, with no knowledge to follow, only supposition: they certainly did not kill him— God raised him up to Himself. God is Almighty, the All-Wise.”THE QUR’AN, CHAPTER 4, VERSES 157 TO 158 Jesus was seen as a threat by the religious establishment in Jerusalem at the time.
Umar ibn al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, deeds are only with intentions, and every person will have only what they intended. Whoever emigrated to Allah and His Messenger, his emigration is for Allah and His Messenger. Whoever emigrated to get something in the world or to marry a woman, his emigration is for that to which he emigrated.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 54, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1907 Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi (authenticity agreed upon) according to Al-Bukhari and Muslim
Jabir bin ‘Abdullah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:’A slave (of Allah) shall not believe until he believes in Al-Qadar, its good and its bad, such that he knows that what struck him would not have missed him, and that what missed him would not have struck him.”
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: If only I had done something else! Rather say: Allah has decreed what He wills. Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of Satan.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2664 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Muslim
Al-Nawawi said, “His statement, ‘It opens the way for the work of Satan,’ means he casts into the heart opposition to the divine decree, and Satan tempts him with it.” Source: Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 16/216

Verily, the creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother’s womb for forty days as a drop, then he is a clot for a similar period, then a morsel for a similar period, then there is sent to him the angel who blows the spirit into him and he is commanded regarding four matters: to write down his provision, his life span, his deeds, and whether he is blessed or damned. By Allah, other than whom there is no God, one of you acts like the people of Paradise until he is but an arm’s length from it, and what is written overtakes him so he acts like the people of Hellfire and he enters it. Verily, one of you acts like the people of Hellfire until he is but an arm’s length from it, and what is written overtakes him so he acts like the people of Paradise and he enters it.
