Theodore Roosevelt
فبراير 29th, 2008In my class, we are learning to read passages that give a brief biography about important historical figures (both American and Arab figures). After reading these, we were asked to write something about another historical figure. Here, I have chosen to write about the former U.S. President, Theodore Roosevelt.
In this passage, the word كان (kana) or “to be” is used a few times, such as to say “he was the 26th president” or other things in the passive voice.
