Be my Valentine

Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short "Paperman"follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office. With only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to get her attention, his efforts are no match for what the fates have in store for him. 

Happy Valentine's Day

February 14th is a day when close friends or loved ones send each other gifts to express their friendship or love. St Valentine's Day is believed to come from both Christian and Ancient Roman traditions - the Catholic church recognizes three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus. One legend says that a man named Valentine fell in love with a young girl who visited him when he was in prison. Before his death, it is thought that he wrote her a letter, which he signed "from your Valentine", an expression still in use today.

Every February 14, across the United States and in other places around the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint, and where did these traditions come from? Find out about the history of this centuries-old holiday, from ancient Roman rituals to the customs of Victorian England.

Pancake Day

What is Pancake Day?

Pancake Day (also called Shrove Tuesday) is the last day before the period which Christians call Lent (or the first Tuesday after Carnival.) On this day people in Britain traditionally eat pancakes.

Why do they eat Pancakes on Shrove Tuesday?

Lent is a time of abstinence. So Shrove Tuesday is the last opportunity to eat what you really enjoy and to finish the food that you can’t eat at Lent. People eat Pancakes on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent.

When is Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day)?

Shrove Tuesday is always 47 days before Easter Sunday so the date varies from year to year.

In 2013 Pancake Day is on 12 February

What is an English Pancake?

A pancake is a thin, flat cake, made of flour, milk and eggs and fried in a pan.                          It is traditional to eat the pancakes with lemon and sugar – mmmmmm!

Possessive ‘s – genitivo sajón

When we want to show that something belongs to somebody or something, we usually add‘s to a singular noun and an apostrophe ‘ to a plural noun, for example:

• the boy’s ball (one boy)
• the boys’ ball (two or more boys)

Excepción, cuando un nombre singular termina en s, normalmente añadimos ´s y pronunciamos /iz/, pero es posible añadir sólo el apóstrofo ‘.

Possessive 's

When we want to show that something belongs to somebody or something, we usually add 's to a singular noun and an apostrophe ' to a plural noun, for example:

• the boy's ball (one boy)
• the boys' ball (two or more boys)

Notice that the number of balls does not matter. The structure is influenced by the possessor and not the possessed.

	one ball	more than one ball
one boy	the boy's ball	the boy's balls
more than one boy	the boys' ball	the boys' balls

The structure can be used for a whole phrase:

• the man next door's mother (the mother of the man next door)
• the Queen of England's poodles (the poodles of the Queen of England)

Although we can use of to show possession, it is more usual to use possessive 's. The following phrases have the same meaning, but #2 is more usual and natural:

1. the boyfriend of my sister
2. my sister's boyfriend

Proper Nouns (Names)

We very often use possessive 's with names:

• This is Mary's car.
• Where is Ram's telephone?
• Who took Anthony's pen?
• I like Tara's hair.

When a name ends in s, we usually treat it like any other singular noun, and add 's:

• This is Charles's chair.

But it is possible (especially with older, classical names) to just add the apostrophe ':

• Who was Jesus' father?

Irregular Plurals

Some nouns have irregular plural forms without s (man > men). To show possession, we usually add 'sto the plural form of these nouns:

singular noun	plural noun
my child's dog	my children's dog
the man's work	the men's work
the mouse's cage	the mice's cage
a person's clothes	people's clothes
