Q: Use the present subjunctive when you need to describe an act of reading that is supposedly presently going on when one doubts or denies that it is actually going on. Example: "I doubt that they read many books," Dudo que ellos lean muchos libros. yo: lea tu: leas el/ella/usted: lea nosotros/-as: leamos vosotros/-as: leais ellos/ellas/ustedes: lean The imperfect subjunctive is used to describe an act of seeing that one doubts or denies has happened in the past. Note that there are two forms of the imperfect subjunctive for all six tenses of the conjugation. The verb leer is irregular in the imperfect subjunctive. Example: "I doubt that you read that book," Dudo que leyeras ese libro. yo: leyera or leyese tu: leyeras or leyeses el/ella/usted: leyera or leyese nosotros/-as: leyeramos or leyesemos vosotros/-as: leyerais or leyeseis ellos/ellas/ustedes: leyeran or leyesen The verb leer is irregular in the future subjunctive. The future subjunctive should be used when you need to describe an act of reading that may happen in the future when one doubts that the act will actually happen. Example: "I doubt that we will read that book," Dudo que leyeremos ese libro. yo: leyere tu: leyeres el/ella/usted: leyere nosotros/-as: leyeremos vosotros/-as: leyereis ellos/ellas/ustedes: leyeren
A: Conjugate leer in the present subjunctive. Learn the imperfect subjunctive. Use the future subjunctive.

Q: Boysenberries go into dormancy during the winter season, so right before they start new growth is the best time to transplant. Check the soil on occasion, and plant when the ground has thawed after the last freeze of the season. Boysenberries are pretty resilient in the face of cold weather, so they can handle if it stays cold for a little while after you plant them. Plants grow into full size throughout the summer. Planting depth varies depending on the starting size of plants, but use this as a guide. Plant them about as deep as the container they start in. It's better to start with a larger hole than you need because you can fill it in as needed. Add at least a heaping handful of brown material compost or animal manure to the bottom of the hole. This helps give the plant a nutrient boost as it takes root in the soil. If you don't have your own compost, buy some at a garden store. If you want to add a big shovelful, it won't hurt. Also, mix some compost into the soil you'll pack around the plant once you bury it. Once the growing area is all ready, place the plant into the hole. Shovel dirt around the roots and pack it down. Place a small layer of compost or manure around the base of the plant once it's buried in the ground. Boysenberries keep growing as much as you let them. It's important to give them a minimum of three feet (.9 m) to spread before they touch another plant. If you have the room, planing them five feet (1.5 m) apart leaves them plenty of room. If you don't have much room, you may want to consider only planting one or two plants. Otherwise, set your plants up in more than one space in your yard so they have room to grow. Another option, if you have limited space, is to grow the plants in containers. However, keep in mind that container-grown plants will need heavy pruning in order to keep the plant from getting oversized.
A: Plant at the end of winter or start of spring. Dig one foot (.3 m) deep by one foot (.3 m) wide holes. Add well-rotted compost or manure to the hole. Place a plant into each hole. Space boysenberry plants three to five feet (.9-1.5m) apart.

Q: There is a saying that goes, "Always be extra nice to your enemies. Nothing annoys them more." Try to be as polite as possible in class, and don't take the bait if your teacher tries to get a rise out of you. Eventually, this may wear them down and they'll start treating you like one of their favorites. And if not well, it will really annoy them that you don't seem to be upset by them anymore. Pay special attention to the kids that the teacher treats best. Try to act like they do, and use the same tone of voice. If you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, ask yourself, "How would (your teacher's favorite) handle this? What would they probably say?" The number one pet peeve of most teachers is being ignored in class. Think how it would feel if you read a report in class, and the kids started talking to each other like you weren't there no fun, right? Pretend you're taking notes. Work on homework for a different class, write a poem or story, or make "to-do" lists. Avoid drawing or doodling, because most teachers can see that it isn't writing from across the room. If you're too shy to hand it to your teacher, leave it on their desk at the end of the day with a little note just saying the gift is from you and you hope they enjoy it. If you get juice or a candy bar between classes, buy two and bring one to your teacher. Pay attention to which topics your teacher seems to be most excited about, then print out a funny or interesting article about it. Bake cookies or brownies, and wrap up a few little bundles of 2-3 cookies each. Hand them out to all your friends and teachers. This way it won't look like you specifically brought them to kiss up to your annoying teacher. If on assignment they give numbers 1-20 plus a bonus problem, always answer the bonus question. If your grades aren't the best, ask if you can do an additional project to improve your grade. Your teacher will be impressed by your initiative, and may treat you better as well. Although it's difficult to get past your own feelings sometimes, it's important to see if there is anything you can change. Are you late all the time? Do you forget to do your homework? Do you interrupt her when she is giving a lecture? Correct your behavior and your teacher will probably treat you better. If your teacher keeps calling on you and embarrassing you with difficult questions, try rephrasing the question before you answer it. She may not realize you don't understand the material she might just think you haven't been doing the work.
A: Kill them with kindness. Watch how other students interact with them. Always look like you're paying attention. Bring them a gift. Do extra credit. Don't do anything to make the situation worse. Rephrase confusing questions.

Q: Wipe the blade on a towel or clean rag to remove any lubricant and metal fragments from the sharpening process. Stropping is running the blade edge across a leather strap that has been covered with an abrasive such as stropping paste or green chromium oxide. It puts a final polish on your knife edge. Move the blade in the opposite direction you did when sharpening. Run it over the leather with the "spine" of the blade at the front and the sharp edge behind. Stropping the blade between sharpenings can help keep your blade sharp longer. Once you think you're done sharpening the knife, check to see if the blade is sharp. There are several ways to do this. Cut some paper. A razor-sharp blade will easily cut right through. Shine a bright light on the sharpened edge. A dull edge will reflect the light. Drag the edge lightly across your thumbnail. The blade should scrape the nail cleanly, without catching or vibrating.
A:
Dry the blade. Strop the blade. Check the sharpness.
