Rod Laver
(1938-present). Australia produced many talented players (Emerson, Rosewall, Newcombe, Stolle, Hoad) but Laver was the best of all. He weighed just 145 pounds in his playing days but his massive left arm generated incredible topspin shots. The only player to win the Grand Slam twice—in 1962 as an amateur, and in 1969 as a professional—Laver took 11 major singles titles overall. Turning pro in 1963, Laver won five U.S. Pro Championships; had he been allowed to play the majors from '63 to '67, he likely would hold the wins record instead of Pete Sampras. Martina Navratilova and Sampras both idolized Laver, the first to earn $1 million in a career.
Bjorn Borg
(1956-present). On both grass and clay in the late 1970s, resistance to Borg was futile; he won Wimbledon five straight years (1976-80) and the French Open six times, for a total of 11 majors. Borg got started at age nine, after his father won a tennis racket in a ping-pong tournament and gave it to him. He took his first French in 1974 and dominated through 1981, when John McEnroe finally knocked him off at Wimbledon. Borg then inexplicably retired at 26; he tried an unsuccessful comeback in the early 1990s. Despite his great success, Borg never won the U.S. Open (reaching the final four times). He played at the Australian Open only once, usually preferring to take the winter months off.
Derek Jeter
(1974-) became the starting shortstop for the Yanks in 1996, winning the Rookie of the Year Award and helping New York capture its first championship since 1978. More post-season highlights followed, including three more titles ('98, '99, '00), the 2000 Series MVP, and a controversial homer against the Baltimore Orioles in Game One of the 1996 ALCS when twelve year old Jeffrey Maier turned his fly ball into a homerun by reaching over the right field wall to catch it. His junior-high yearbook dubbed him "most likely to play shortstop for the New York Yankees."

In our original sentence, "to offer assistance" does the same thing. → I must tell the truth. (The infinitive verb "tell" is not the main verb. The "to" has been dropped because a modal verb comes before it. The modal verb "must" is the main verb.)

The correct sentence would be "He eats only ice cream." That way, "only" modifies the word "ice cream", not "eats".) → Yoona told us after the holiday that she wants to stop smoking. (Did Yoona tell us this after the holiday? Or does she want to stop smoking after the holiday? It would be better to say "After the holiday, Yoona told us that she wants to stop smoking" or "Yoona told us that she wants to stop smoking after the holiday.") → Running quickly improves your health. (Does running at a face pace improve health? Or does running improve your health quickly? This is a squinting modifier.) → Having read your letter, my dog will be taken to the vet.

Bill Tilden
Between 1920 and 1925, he was almost unstoppable: He won six straight U.S. championships and took Wimbledon both times he played. He was nicknamed "Big Bill" for two reasons: He stood 6-foot-2 with his trademark "cannonball" serve and he faced "Little Bill" Johnston in six out of seven U.S. finals. In all, he won ten majors (seven U.S., three Wimbledon) and turned professional in 1930 — winning a pro title at age 42 and competing in barnstorming tours until he was 50.

Martina Navratilova
Born in Prague, she defected to the United States in 1975 because the Czech Tennis Federation had taken most of her earnings.

This paid off: She won 18 singles Grand Slams (58 overall), 167 total singles titles, and even more doubles crowns, many with partner Pam Shriver. A Wimbledon finalist at 37, she retired from singles in 1994, but returned to play doubles in 2000. In 2003 she tied Billie Jean King with 20 overall Wimbledons, taking the mixed doubles at age 46

The governor denied this request for fear that the Qing Government would halt the supply of food and other necessities to Macau. The Qing Emperor asked all foreigners in China to halt material assistance to the British in China. In retaliation, British attacked Guangdong.

conditional sentences
Sentences made up of two halves, where one half begins with the word "if" and the other half states what would have / will happen if the first half became true. There are four types of conditional sentences. Zero-conditional: state facts. If you don't do X, Y will definitely happen. First-conditional: state that the outcome is likely, but not guaranteed, to happen in the future. If you X, then Y will probably happen. Second-conditional: state the the outcome is unrealistic or not going to happen in the future. It's never going to happen, but if X, then Y. Third-conditional: used to tell us how the present situation would be different if the past had gone a certain way. If you had X, then Y. Remember that a comma is only needed if the if-clause comes before the other clause.

This makes "Jeff's salary" an object... and an object complement. Why it is not called a "verb complement", we'll never know.) → The board cut Jeff's salary. (The board tells us something about the verb "cut". This makes "The board" a subject... and a subject complement. Why it is not called a "verb complement", we'll never know.)

Chris Evert
This "queen of the Clay Courts" won the French Open a record seven times and rolled off a 125-match win streak on the surface. As a 15-year old, she upset Margaret Court, who had just won the Grand Slam. 1974 was the first of a record 13 straight years in which she won a major—several of them hard fought against her rival, Martina Navratilova. In all, this athlete took 18 Grand Slam singles titles, and was the first female player to win $1 million in her career. She was married to British tennis player John Lloyd for eight years, but they divorced in 1987, and she then wed Olympic skier Andy Mill.
Lusitania
This British passenger ship was sunk by German U-boats in 1915, carrying civilians and ammunition to Britain from the U.S. The event turned American opinion against Germany.
Helen Wills Moody
This California native was nicknamed "Little Miss Poker Face" because her expression rarely changed on the court. Her play contrasted with that of the other great woman of the era, the emotional Suzanne Lenglen of France, though they met only once (as Lenglen turned pro). Nonetheless, this athlete dominated her competition; between 1927 and 1932 she did not drop a set. She won 19 major singles crowns—out of 22 entered—including eight Wimbledons, six U.S., and four French championships, in 1928 becoming the first player to win three Grand Slams in one season. She also swept the singles and doubles gold medals at the 1924 Paris Olympics.
Austria-Hungary

Zimmerman Telegram
This intercepted note from the German foreign minister to the Mexican government offered, territories in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico for Mexico. The note also confirmed the new policy of unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany against the Allied Powers. This helped turn Americans against Germany in WWI.
League of Nations
This intergovernmental organization lasted from 1919-1946, was founded after the Paris Peace Conference. It did not work effectively to prevent WWII.
Wilson's Fourteen Points
This is the plan for post-World War I outlined by President Wilson in 1918. This plan called for self-determination (countries in Africa and Asia govern themselves), freedom of the seas, free trade, end to secret agreements, reduction of arms and a league of nations.
U-boats
This new machinery used by the Germans in sea warfare, to attack British and American supply ships in the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
case
This shows a noun's or pronoun's relationship to the other words in the sentence. There are only four cases in Modern English: subjective, objective, possessive, and vocative. The noun doesn't change in any of them, other than getting 's in the possessive form. The pronoun doesn't have a vocative case. Otherwise, it usually changes in the other three cases.
Trench Warfare
This style of warfare was common in WWI, due to the invention of the machine gun and heavy artillery. It included digging long trenches, separated by barbed wire and a no mans land.
Margaret Smith Court
This tennis player was a prolific winner of 62 Grand Slam titles, 24 of them in singles (3 Wimbledon, 5 French, 5 U.S., and 11 in her native Australia). Billie Jean King called her "The Arm" because of her long reach, aided by her height of nearly six feet. In 1970 she became the second woman (after Maureen Connolly) to win the Grand Slam, taking 21 singles championships overall that year; less impressive was her 1973 loss to 55-year old Bobby Riggs. She did defeat King, Riggs's nemesis, 22 of 32 times. She retired in 1977 and became a lay minister.
Steffi Graf
This tennis player's most famous shot earned her the moniker "Fraulein Forehand." She turned pro at age 13 and steadily rose through the rankings, garnering the #1 ranking and her first major (French) in 1987. The following year, she made history by winning the Grand Slam and the gold medal at the Seoul Olympics, the only player ever to go 5-for-5 in one year. Seven Wimbledons, six French, five U.S., and four Australians add up to 22 major career singles crowns—the last coming at the French in 1999 after two years of major back injuries. She retired that fall, and is now raising her son Jaden with her husband Andre Agassi.

Alliances

Woodrow Wilson
This was the president who was elected in 1912, and led the US into WWI. Later wrote a plan for post-WWI peace known as the Fourteen Points.
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
This was the spark that started World War I. Archduke Ferdinand, the Austrian crown prince, was murdered on June 28, 1914, by a Serbian nationalist while visiting Sarajevo, Bosnia. Germany urged Austria-Hungary to fight and they went to war against Serbia; all of this due to Serbia wanting to expand
John McEnroe
Though perhaps best known for his fiery temper and abuse of referees (with taunts like "You can't be serious!"), this tennis player was the dominant player of the early 1980s. As a 17-year old amateur qualifier, he made the semifinals of Wimbledon, and in 1979 he won the first of three straight U.S. Opens. He almost ended Borg's run of Wimbledons in a five-set thriller in 1980, but succeeded the following year. In 1984, this tennis player compiled an 82-3 record, winning Wimbledon and his fourth U.S. Open, for a total of seven majors. An outstanding doubles player as well, he won 77 titles, many with partner Peter Fleming. He also played in the Davis Cup 12 times, captaining the U.S. team in 2000.
