What is a big word for yesterday

For those interested in a little info about this site: it’s a side project that I developed while working on Describing Words and Related Words. Both of those projects are based around words, but have much grander goals. I had an idea for a website that simply explains the word types of the words that you search for — just like a dictionary, but focussed on the part of speech of the words. And since I already had a lot of the infrastructure in place from the other two sites, I figured it wouldn’t be too much more work to get this up and running.

The dictionary is based on the amazing Wiktionary project by wikimedia. I initially started with WordNet, but then realised that it was missing many types of words/lemma (determiners, pronouns, abbreviations, and many more). This caused me to investigate the 1913 edition of Websters Dictionary — which is now in the public domain. However, after a day’s work wrangling it into a database I realised that there were far too many errors (especially with the part-of-speech tagging) for it to be viable for Word Type.

Finally, I went back to Wiktionary — which I already knew about, but had been avoiding because it’s not properly structured for parsing. That’s when I stumbled across the UBY project — an amazing project which needs more recognition. The researchers have parsed the whole of Wiktionary and other sources, and compiled everything into a single unified resource. I simply extracted the Wiktionary entries and threw them into this interface! So it took a little more work than expected, but I’m happy I kept at it after the first couple of blunders.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: the UBY project (mentioned above), @mongodb and express.js.

Currently, this is based on a version of wiktionary which is a few years old. I plan to update it to a newer version soon and that update should bring in a bunch of new word senses for many words (or more accurately, lemma).

Transcript

1   Yesterday morning the weather was terrible. It started to rain just after breakfast and it only stopped at about one o’clock. But then the sun came out and we spent the afternoon sunbathing in the park.

2   When we drove to school this morning, it was really foggy. It was so thick that we could only see about 20 metres ahead. Not only that, the road was really icy and slippery because the temperature in the night was about minus ten degrees Celsius. The bus driver had to drive really slowly and carefully.

3   It was school sports day yesterday. Unfortunately the sky was quite cloudy for most of the day and the sun didn’t shine at all. It was quite mild and we heard some crashes of thunder, but luckily it didn’t rain.

4   I went to play football in the park with some friends on Sunday morning. It was a lovely clear day but it was freezing cold and very frosty. There wasn’t any snow but the grass was completely white! Then in the afternoon the weather changed. The wind started to blow and it snowed quite heavily. By the evening there was about 10 centimetres of snow on the ground.

7. Write a paragraph describing the weather one day last week. Write 15-30 words.

the correct form of the verbs.

I’m going to have a very unusual holiday this year. I’m going to
photograph elephants in Africa. If you want to do the same, you’d better book
your ticket soon. There ______(not be) any wild elephants in twenty years’
time. They’ll all be dead, except maybe for a few in nature reserves.

An elephant is a walking bank as far as hunters are concerned. The
reason is the price of ivory, which _____(be) $5 a kilogram in the 1960s but
_____(be) $ 50 a kilogram now. As the price went up, the killings started.
Elephant populations in eastern Africa _____(start) falling and now the total
African population is declining fast.

The largest estimate says that there ______(be) about 800,000 African
elephants. In ten years’ time, this figure will be halved if hunting continues
as it is now. Another ten years, and the wild elephant______(exist) no longer.

Sixteen of the thirty-five African countries which have elephants are
going to restrict trade in elephant products and some of these are going to
start special nature reserves, where elephants are protected. But it may be too
late. If the hunting continues on its present scale, the elephant will soon be
a thing of the past.

181-й диктант: 

1. «I (to play) computer games yesterday – Я вчера играл в компьютерные игры»: «I played…» — Past Indefinite Tense. 

2. «I (to play) computer games at five o’clock yesterday – Я вчера в пять часов играл в компьютерные игры»: «I was playing…» — Past Continuous Tense, потому что указано точное время (five o’clock). ^; 

3. «He (to play) computer games from two till three yesterday – Он вчера играл в компьютерные игры с двух до трех»: «… was playing…», потому что классика (с двух до трех). 

4. «We (to play) computer games the whole evening yesterday – Вчера мы целый вечер играли в компьютерные игры»: «… were playing…» — тоже Past Continuous, the whole потому что есть. 

5. «What Nick (to do) when you came to his place? – Что делал Ник, когда вы пришли к нему домой?»: «What was Nick doing when…?». 

6. «What you (to do) when I rang you up? – Что ты делал, когда я звонил тебе?»: «What were you doing…?» — опять ключевой образ, контрольное действие rang. 

7. «I (not to sleep) at nine o’clock yesterday – Я не спал вчера в девять часов»: «I was not sleeping…». 

8. «What he (to do) yesterday? – Что он делал вчера?»: «What did he do yesterday?».

«- He (to read) a book – Он читал книгу»: «He read [red] a book». Оба действия в Past Indefinite.   

9. «What he (to do) the whole evening yesterday? – Что он делал вчера весь вечер?»: «What was he doing…?». Видите, добавилось the whole evening к предыдущему, и мы из Past Indefinite мгновенно перешли в Past Continuous.

«– He (to read) a book – Он читал книгу»: «He was reading a book». 

10. «She (to sleep) when you came home? – Она спала, когда ты пришел домой?»: «Was she sleeping when you…?». 

11. «My brother (not to play) tennis yesterday – Мой брат не играл в теннис вчера»: «My brother did not play…».

«He (to play) tennis the day be­fore yesterday – Он играл в теннис позавчера»: «He played…». Оба действия в Past Indefinite, потому что нету уточнения.   

12. «My sister (not to play) the pi­ano at four o’clock yesterday – Моя сестра не играла на пианино вчера в четыре часа»: «My sister was not playing…» — указание на точное время, значит это Past Continuous.

«She (to play) the piano the whole evening – Она играла на пианино весь вечер»: «She was playing…». 

13. «When I came into the kitchen, mother (to cook) – Когда я зашел на кухню, мать готовила»: «…, mother was cooking». 

14. «She (to cook) the whole day yesterday – Она готовила вчера целый день»: «She was cooking…». 

15. «We (to wash) the floor in our flat yesterday – Вчера мы мыли пол в нашей квартире»: «We washed…». 

16. «We (to wash) the floor in our flat from three till four yesterday – Вчера мы мыли пол в нашей квартире с трех до четырех часов»: «We were washing…». Всё же очень просто, если знаешь как. 

17. «You (to do) your homework yesterday? – Ты вчера делал домашнее задание?»: «Did you do your…?» — general question (общий вопрос). 

18. «You (to do) your homework from eight till ten yesterday? – Ты вчера делал домашнее задание с восьми до десяти?»: «Were you doing your…?», потому что указан отрезок времени. 

19. «Why she (to sleep) at seven o’clock yesterday? – Почему она вчера спала в семь часов?»: «Why was she sleeping…?». 

20. «He (to sit) at the table the whole evening yesterday – Он сидел за столом вчера весь вечер»: «He was sitting…» — Past Continuous Tense. 

Не беда, если вы что-то еще не понимаете. Это абсолютно нормально. Беда для вас придет, когда вы не поняли и промолчали. 

Put the words in the correct order to make sentences 1 go/he/to/town/did/yesterday? 2. she/from/did /France/come? 3. rucksack/her/was/red. 4. they/yesterday/left/home. 5.
