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."

dangling modifier

A type of misplaced modifier where there is nothing to modify. → Having read your letter, my dog will be taken to the vet. (The dog didn't read the letter.

(The infinitive verb "to offer" is not the main verb. "Returned" is. The infinitive verb is being used as an adverb. It describes "returned". You could re-write the sentence as "The officer returned so he could help." In that sentence, "so he could offer assistance" is an adverbial clause. 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.)

phrasal verb

A verb made up of a main verb and a preposition, adverb, or both.

regular verb

A verb that adds -ed or -d to its base form to make A) simple past tense and B) its past participle. → talk - talked → recognize - recognized → look - looked

linking verb

A verb that connects the subject to the predicate and does not show an action. Linking verbs are usually one of the five senses or the verb "to be". Remember that they cannot have a direct object. → She smells like a gym class in July. (The linking verb "smells" connects the subject pronoun "she" to the predicate "like a gym class in July".) → Siva's grandmother is a bartender. (The linking verb "is" connects the subject "Siva's grandmother" to the predicate "a bartender".)

irregular verb

A verb that does not make A) simple past tense and B) its past participle by adding -ed or -d to its base form. → think - thought → steal - stole → is - was

(The helping verbs "will have" show the tense) → If he should arrive, tell him to leave. (The helping verb "should" shows mood) → The dessert has been eaten by the dog. (The helping verbs "has been" show voice. This is a passive sentence.)

non-finite verb

A verb that is not showing tense. This category is made up of gerunds, infinitives, and participles. → Debating is an art form. (The non-finite verb "debating" is a gerund.) → She needs to go home. (The non-finite verb "to go" is an infinitive.) → We ate the toasted marshmallows. (The non-finite verb "toasted" is a participle.)

auxiliary verb

A word added to the main verb to show tense, voice, or mood. It is also known as a "helping verb". → She has brought lunch. (The auxiliary verb "has" helps to show tense. "Has brought" is a present perfect verb.) → The table has been set. (The auxiliary verbs "has been" help to show passive voice. → If he were to arrive in ten minutes, then we would be on schedule. (The auxiliary verbs "were" and "would" help to show the subjunctive mood.)

verb

(The preposition of shows the relationship between the United States and President.)

intensifier

(The adverbial phrase "to the shop" tells us more about where he ran) → Stephanie finished her assignment remarkably quickly. (The adverb "remarkably" tells us more about the adverb "quickly", which tells us more the verb "finished".)

possessive adjective

A word that tells us who owns the noun. You can memorize them: my, your, his, her, its, their, our, whose. → That is her dog. (The possessive adjective "her" shows us it is she who owns the dog. Do note that if we mentioned the girl's name earlier, this "her" would also be considered a pronoun since it takes the place of the girl's name.)

A word used in place of a closely related word. → Washington is trying to pass a new policy. (Washington is a metonym for the lawmakers in Washington DC) → The big wigs are in an uproar. (Big wigs is a metonym for the managers. This comes from the tall wigs worn by nobility.)

modifier

A word, phrase, or clause that acts like an adverb or adjective. It makes the meaning of the word it describes more specific.

adjunct

A word, phrase, or clause that can be removed from a sentence without making it grammatically incorrect. An adjunct is usually an adverb used to modify a verb. → In the morning, we will leave for the countryside. (The adjective phrase "in the morning" is an adjunct.) → She washes all of her dolls whenever Ollie washes his Legos. (The adjective phrase "whenever Ollie washes his Legos" is an adjunct.)

misplaced modifier

A word, phrase, or clause that does not relate to what it was supposed to modify. These types of errors can be fixed by moving the position of the modifier or rewording the sentence. → He only eats ice cream. (He doesn't throw it? He doesn't roll in it? This is a common mistake. 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. (The dog didn't read the letter. Therefore, the correct sentence would read: "Having read your letter, I will take my dog to the vet." This is an example of a dangling modifier.)

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.

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

Pete Sampras

Pistol Pete" burst onto the scene in 1990, when he became the youngest man ever to win the U.S. Open. He would take five U.S. Opens and two Australian Opens, but his greatest accomplishments came on the Wimbledon grass. Starting in 1993 he won Wimbledon seven times in eight years, losing only to Richard Krajicek in the quarterfinals in 1996. The last Wimbledon win (2000) gave Sampras the all-time men's major record, passing Roy Emerson's 12. Married to actress Bridgette Wilson, Sampras silenced his critics (who thought he was washed up) by defeating Andre Agassi for the 2002 U.S. Open title — then he retired.

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.

(A clause is a single piece of information made up of more than one word which contains a subject and a verb.) → Sentence (e.g., A seven-foot tiger shark arrived.) (A sentence conveys a complete idea. It must contain at least one clause.

(perfect aspect - action completed) → He was taking the photos when the owner arrived. (progressive aspect - action on going) → He had been taking the photos before the owner arrived. (perfect progressive aspect - action on going but then finished) These sentences are all in the past tense, but they all have a different aspect. Remember, we need aspect to tell us whether the action was on-going or completed.

(Irrelevant tells us something about Jeff's position, an object. So "irrelevant" is an object complement.) → The board cut Jeff's salary. (Jeff's salary tells us something about the verb "cut". 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.)

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.

Reparations

This term refers to the payments and transfers of property that Germany was required to make under the treaty of Versailles.

Allied Powers

This was a major alliance during World War I made up of Britain, France, Russia, and the United States. It was know n as the Triple Entente(a French word) before the war.

Alliances

This was a major cause of WWI. Two major alliances formed the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria, Italy) and the Triple Entente (France, England, Russia). This alliance system made world war likely, by drawing all countries into a small war.

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.
