Note also: The citation for An Inconvenient Truth below assumes the film has been
cited by its title in the text. If it had been cited by the name of its director, the citation
would need to begin with Guggenheim's surname. MLA guidelines specify that both
styles are acceptable (see, e.g., this "Ask the MLA" page).

nakakalimutan na ng lahat ang mag-alay sa Diyosa ng kagandahan na si Venus dahil nandoon na kay
Psyche ang kanilang oras. Nagalit si Venus kaya't inutusan ang anak na si Cupid na paibigin si Psyche sa
isang nakakatakot na nilalang.j
2. Hindi sinunod ni Cupid ang utos ng ina dahil siya man ay napaibig din sa ganda ni Psyche ngunit ito ay
nanatiling lihim mula sa kanyang ina.
3. Dahil labis na nabagabag ang ama ni Psyche kung bakit walang lalaking umiibig sa kanya kaya humingi
siya ng payo kay Apollo at siya'y sinabihan na dalhin si Psyche at damitan ng maganda sa isang bundok.
4. Imbes na mapahamak sa bundok ay doon pa niya nakilala ang lalaking magpapaibig sa kanya at
nagdala kay Psyche sa palasyo ngunit hindi pa nagpapakita ang lalaki sa kanya.
5. Dumalaw ang mga kapatid ni Psyche at sinulsulan siya na alamin ang pagkatao ng asawa dahil baka ito
ay halimay at sinunod naman ito ni Psyche resulta kung kaya't nasaktan niya si Cupid at umalis.
6. Pumunta si Psyche sa kaharian ni Cupid upang suyuin ito ngunit pinahirapan lamang siya ni Venus at
kung anu-anong pagsubok ang binigay.

Jupiter ang ambrosia, isang pagkain upang magiging imortal.
-Sa tuktok ng Bundok kung saan dinala si Psyche ng kanyang amang hari.
et al.
abbreviation
Definition of et al.
and others
What is the correct use of et al.?
There is a good deal of confusion surrounding et al., as is commonly the
case with abbreviated Latin words (such as ibid., etc., and i.e.).
Et al. comes from the Latin phrase meaning “and others.” It is usually styled
with a period, but you will occasionally see et al as well.
Et al. typically stands in for two or more names, especially in bibliographical
information. It's preceded by a comma only when more than one name is
listed (as in cases in which two or more texts are authored by the same
person or by people with the same surname):
The book by Carson et al. is regarded as the authoritative text on the topic.
The article by Jones, Perez, et al. is well-known, but the one by Jones, Lee,
et al. has been more widely cited.
The documentation Hadid et al. have provided is sufficient for our purposes.
Punctuation isn't the only confusing thing about et al. Its Latin origin causes
some confusion too, because the phrase in Latin could be written three
different ways, depending on whether the other things one referred to were
masculine (et alii), feminine (et aliae), or neuter (et alia).
Another aspect of this word that creates confusion is the question of when it
is appropriate to use it. Some language guides have argued that et
al. should only be used to describe people. However, it is used (albeit
infrequently) in reference to other things as well.
Et al. is most commonly found in scholarly writing, especially when used to
avoid having to list a number of different authors in a bibliography or
footnote. You can use it when describing the people who came to a dinner
party, but it may sound rather odd. Some of the Latin abbreviations found in
English have become well-suited to conversational usage (we often
hear i.e. used in speech), while others appear out of place. For instance, few
people would say "ibid." (which means "in the same place") in response to
the question "where are my hat and gloves?"
