I am doing a study about the connection between reading music and the termenology langange (words).
If a kid never had the chance to take phonics when was little because he had speech problems. He becomes a musician someday. If a person had trouble reading words, do you think he would have the same trouble reading (intreperting) music?
There has to be a connection between them both because reading music is just like reading a foreign languge or the newspaper. What do you guys think? If anybody ever done the same study please give me as much as information as you can please! Thank you!

My second question is; can I finish a sentence with "etc.",and if so, do I use a full stop to complete the abbreviation and another to end the sentence, or is one enough?.

Whilsy I know that "He, She, It" uses Has and "I, You, We, They" uses Have, what about "Everyone, Everybody, The People, etc."?
Does it depend on whether its singular or plural? Sure its not about 1st, 2nd or 3rd person right?
Has and Have is known as ... ?

Thanks people.

My friend is watching TV = My friend's watching TV
My mother is cooking lunch = My mother's cooking lunch

Can I use that with everything? like:
Peter is = Peter's
My pencil is = My pencil's
My sister is = My sister's

Are there any exceptions?

Thank you.

Make his day with a positive word. A pat on the back, school work on the fridge, a smile and the words “good going”… these are gestures that will motivate your son to love reading and writing.

Do they mean school work on refrigerator? How will it motivate a child? Please explain.
