E Prime (it means English Prime) is a way of speaking English without using the verb "to be" in any way ("be, is, am, are, was, were, been, and being"). Instead, an E Prime speaker or writer uses different verbs like "to become," "to remain," and "to equal" or they might choose to rearrange the sentence to show that the "thing" does not actually "act". For example, in E Prime, a writer would change the statement "Mistakes were made" to "Joe made mistakes." This change in wording reveals an actor (Joe) where the previous form concealed the actor. Users of E Prime would consider the changed sentence more accurate.
My day started with coffee and a croissant. I then proceeded to walk to school to go to my class this morning. I only had one class today, Case Management. We took a look at a case study, came up with the answers ourselves and then shared them with the rest of the class and the teacher. During the second half of class we reviewed red flags when coming across a patient with "chest pain." Chest pain encompasses many red flags and these are something to watch out for. After class, I got bubble tea with a friend. The flavor I chose, Jasmine Milk Tea, excites my taste buds!
That was more difficult than expected...
