Actually, I am writing a theseis and I had to get these sentenses sorted. I read the overview in my English 101 but didn't get it. I am not in my right mind this week as I have a dying family member, so I cant concentrate nor think clearly.

Okay..I know you have a person close to you dying, but you really need to try these things out for yourself. If you don't understand something fully, you should ask your teacher or whoever this thesis is for about the subject, and (hopefully) they'll be able to help. I hope you feel better soon.
