CREATE PAGE FOR JOHN APOSTOL -- copied from article "The Capris" -- I have only just started working on improving the Wikipedia page for The Capris, but while reviewing what was already there, I found this information listed in the text: "By 1965, Vinnie (d. 30 December 2008) and John had left the group. To replace them, in 1966, they recruited John Apostol (d. 24 December 2003) to sing bass. For the next three years, the group performed in various local clubs, and since they were only a three member vocal group, hired various local backup musicians to work with them. In May, 1969, John Apostol, wanting to have a more stable and permanent show group, approached Bill Chefalas, the lead singer and bass player of The Carasels, a New York City area, top-40, show group—formed in 1965—and asked him if he would be interested in combining groups, and thus, the Capris became a seven member, self-contained show group. They now consisted of Frank Reina (Lead Singer), Mike Mincieli (First Tenor), John Apostol (Bass), .... Apostol died December 24, 2003. John was well known in the entertainment industry, with more than 25 years of experience as a performer, booking agent, personal manager, concert promoter, theatrical producer and publisher. In 1972, he formed Banner Talent Associates, through which he represented artists such as Gary U.S. Bonds, The Brooklyn Bridge, The Five Satins, The Belmonts, The Capris, Chubby Checker and The Drifters. He managed the careers of The Brooklyn Bridge, The Belmonts, The Dovells, The Crystals, Bullet, Jay and The Americans, Tommy James and The Shondells, and Wild Cherry. Apostol had promoted concerts at Madison Square Garden, Nassau Coliseum and various other venues in the New York metropolitan area."

Some resources for irregular verbs: www.usingenglish.com/reference/irregular-verbs/ www.reference.com/browse/List_of_English_irregular_verbs

For subject/verb agreement, changing the sentence from a statement to a question tends to complicates matters instead of clarifying. The subject in a question is NOT the pronoun "wh- word" that comes at the beginning of a question (who, what, why, where, & how). In questions, these particular pronouns are being used as interrogative (question) pronouns. In English, ﻿they do not change spelling in order to agree with the noun represented. For example, "Who is John?" vs. "Who are my parents?" Notice here that the verb changes with the noun at the end of the question ("John" & "parents"), which is the subject of the question. When you change each question to a statement, you get "John is (who?) my father." "My parents are (who?) John and Martha." Pronouns in English do not change form because English is not an inflected language. With inflected languages, pronouns, verbs, nouns and articles all change depending on the number of the subject. Consider the following in Spanish (an inflected language): "Quien es mi padre?" (Who is my father?) "Quienes son mis padres?" (Who are my parents?)

Pronouns that can be used as subjects (singular = I, you, he, she, it / plural = we, you, they) are called subjective pronouns, and they do have their own number, either singular or plural. These pronouns can be confusing when used with the irregular verb "to be," because the verb changes depending on number (singular vs. plural pronoun) and tense (past vs. present tense). Examples: "Who am I?" vs. "Who are you?" vs. "Who is he?" vs. "Who are they?" vs. "Who was he?" vs. "Who were they?" The subject in a question is the noun that comes after the verb. In all types of sentences, the subject and the verb must always agree in number. Consider "What is the answer?" versus "What are the answers?" "What" is the same in both questions, but the verb changes depending on the singular noun "answer" vs. the plural noun "answers." The subjects in these sentences are "answer" and "answers" and not the pronoun "what." The "person" of your subject also matters when determining the form of the verb ("I" = first person singular pronoun vs. "he" = third person singular pronoun) and "number" (I = first person singular pronoun vs. they = third person plural pronoun). Subject and verb must agree in number (singular and plural). It is one of the rules of grammar. Diagramming a sentence makes problems much clearer. Changing statements into questions is not helpful for determining subject/verb agreement. Whoever taught you this is wrong.

Using your examples, the verb must agree with the object in the question, not the "what" word. Furthermore, your examples are confusing and do not match each other. You are changing your statements into "What" questions and replacing the objects instead of simply switching the subject and object around the verb. You wrote: John reads books. - What does John like? (What do John like?) I am reading a book. - What am I reading? (What is me reading?)

You should write: John reads books. - Books reads John reads. (not "What do John like?", which should change into "John does like what?") I am reading a book. - A book I am reading (not What am I reading

What does John like? (singular "John," versus "What do cats like?" plural "cats") John likes to read books. (Changing the question to the statement "John reads books" does not help clarify because you changed the verb from "like" to "read") SUBJECT: John (singular) VERB: does like ("likes" would be better here) INFINITIVE PHRASE: to read books. SUBJECT: I (singular) VERB: am reading (singular) OBJECT: a book. Irregular verbs like "to be" (is/am/are) and "to do" (do/does) are not conjugated like regular verbs like, for example, "to stand" (stand/stands). Also, using "I" as your subject confuses matters further. "He" is just as singular as "I" but you would not say "I stands" or "he stand." For example: SUBJECT: He VERB: is reading OBJECT: a book.

http://www.grammarbook.com/grammar/adjAdv.asp Adverbs are words that modify everything but nouns and pronouns. They modify adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs. A word is an adverb if it answers how, when, where, or how much.

The only adverbs that cause grammatical problems are those that answer the question how, so focus on these. "How" adverbs usually end in the suffix "-ly" EXAMPLE: She answered slowly.

any member of a class of words that function as modifiers of verbs or clauses, and in some languages, as Latin and English, as modifiers of adjectives, other adverbs, or adverbial phrases, as very  in very nice, much  in much more impressive,  and tomorrow  in She'll write to you tomorrow. They relate to what they modify by indicating place (I promise to be there ), time (Do your homework now! ), manner (She sings beautifully ), circumstance (He accidentally dropped the glass when the bell rang), degree (I'm very  happy to see you), or cause (I draw, although  badly). See also sentence adverb. "An adverb is a part of speech that modifies anything that is not a noun. For example, it modifies verbs, adjectives, clauses, sentences and other adverbs. Adverbs typically answer a question. The question to ask ones self when looking for an adverb in a sentence is ""Which word either answers how, when, where, in what way, or to what extent?"" An adverb test is a test that tests ones knowledge of adverbs. These are commonly administered in grammar or English classes in the United States. A little trick to finding an adverb is that they frequently will end in -ly. Words such as ""more"", ""less"", ""most"" and ""least"" are often used to determine the degree of the adverb. For example the phrase ""She should move more quickly to avoid being late for class."" The word ""quickly"" is the adverb. ""More"" describes it's degree. Adverbs sometimes act as intensifiers as well. Intensifiers can either emphasize, amplify, or downtone."

http://www.bakersfieldcity.us/recreation/parks/beale.htm In addition to the people amenities, there is something at this park for people who like to bird watch. Since approximately 1977, during the horrible windstorm that struck Bakersfield and Kern County, there has been a population of Rose-ringed Parakeets who first settled in Beale Park, and later also settled in Beach Park and Hart Park. The two original breeding pairs escaped when the roof was torn off of the Happy Bird Aviary during the storm. Since that time, through natural breeding and other unintentional releases of additional parakeets, Beale Park has become the primary home to a large naturalized population during the daytime hours. The birds roost at night in the tall palm trees along Union Avenue and California Avenue. The Rose-ringed Parakeets’ population in greater Bakersfield is the largest naturalization of this species in the world! When at Beale Park, just look up into the trees, these birds are bright green with a very loud call (sounding like “kee ep”). They have a natural lifespan of approximately 20 years, so we are sure to be able to enjoy their company for a long time.

Come and visit Beale Park, located on Oleander Avenue between Dracena and Palm, and enjoy the legacy left to the citizens of the City of Bakersfield by Truxtun Beale.

Reid and Olsen were both teaching assistants to Professor Leonard Arrington, who worked at USU from 1946 to 1972, and now has an annual lecture named for him called the Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture Series. Reid received his bachelor’s degree in political science from USU in 1961 with a minor in economics. His service in the political realm began at age 28 when he was elected to the Nevada State Assembly, returning to the state he grew up in. He then became the youngest lieutenant governor in Nevada’s history at age 30. Reid was first elected a Nevada senator in 1986 and is now serving his fifth term. US: Did you always want to be involved in politics? HR: I wanted to be a big athlete, but that didn’t work out ... I went to Southern Utah University — then called the College of Southern Utah — to play football and baseball, and it didn’t take long for me to realize I wasn’t big enough, fast enough, or frankly, good enough. And I got hurt, so I started studying — and I had never done that before — and made good grades, and got a scholarship to go up to USU. US: Why did you choose a bachelor’s degree in political science? HR: I’d been involved in student government in high school, I was student body president and I was class president in college my freshman year. I had a government teacher in high school named Mike O’Callahan and he became the governor of Nevada and that’s probably one of the reasons I did it. .......... US: How did your time at USU prepare you for who you are today? HR: In Logan I joined the church, the Mormon church, so I’m sure that has something to do with who I am today. – catherine.meidell@aggiemail.usu.edu

http://www.audrey1.org/biography/16/audrey-hepburn-timeline-1929-1949 After Joseph left in 1935, Ella van Heemstra took her children home to Arnhem, although her sons frequently stayed in The Hague with their father, Ella's first husband Hendrik Gustaaf Adolf Quarles van Ufford. Starting in 1935, Ella took her three children on long visits to the village of Elham Kent, where she rented Orchard Cottage, owned by Mr & Mrs Butcher. By 1937, Ella decided to enroll Hepburn in a private school there. Hepburn lived with Mr & Mrs Butcher at Orchard Cottage (now known as Five Bells) while she attended two schools, one run by the Rigden sisters in the Square and the other known as West Bank, a property just down from Elham Manor. On Hepburn's eleventh birthday May 1940, Ella sent for Hepburn to be reunited with her family where Hepburn was educated at a tiny independent girls' school in the village of Elham, run by the sisters Rigden and then attended by about 14 children. In September 1939, Hepburn's mother relocated her back home in Arnhem, in the belief that (as during World War I) the Netherlands would remain neutral and be spared a German attack. While there, Hepburn attended the Arnhem Conservatory from 1939 to 1945 where, in addition to the standard school curriculum, she trained in ballet with Winja Marova. After the Germans invaded the Netherlands in 1940, Hepburn adopted the pseudonym Edda van Heemstra, because an "English sounding" name was considered dangerous during the German occupation. In 1942, Hepburn's uncle Otto van Limburg Stirum (husband of mother Ella's older sister Miesje) was executed in retaliation for a sabotage by the resistance movement, while Hepburn's half-brother Ian was deported to Berlin to work in a German labour camp. Hepburn's other half-brother Alex went into hiding to avoid the same fate. After this, Ella, Miesje, and Hepburn moved in with Baron van Heemstra in nearby Velp. During her wartime struggles, Hepburn suffered from malnutrition, developed acute anæmia, respiratory problems, and œdema. Hepburn, in a retrospective interview, commented, "I have memories. More than once I was at the station seeing trainloads of Jews being transported, seeing all these faces over the top of the wagon. I remember, very sharply, one little boy standing with his parents on the platform, very pale, very blond, wearing a coat that was much too big for him, and he stepped on to the train. I was a child observing a child." </r
