Findout the at least 15 action verbs from the passage.Then write their past and pastparticiple form also.


Answers

Answer:

Most irregular verbs are very common in English, which means you will see or hear them often. This makes it a little easier to remember them. But there are also some common patterns:

– the ‘en’ ending (break – broke – broken; write – wrote – written; hide – hid – hidden etc)

– the ‘ing’, ‘ang’, ‘ung’ pattern (ring – rang – rung; sing – sang – sung etc)

Some common verbs are also formed from others, which means the past participle is the same:

– give / forgive (given / forgiven)

– come / become (come / become)

– stand / understand (stood / understood)

A few verbs don’t change at all. For example:

read – read – read (the pronunciation changes from the present /reed/ to the past tense and past participle /red/

cut – cut – cut (no pronunciation change)

put – put – put (no pronunciation change)

Sometimes, more than one ending is possible:

– dreamed / dreamt

– learned / learnt

Answers

Answer:

There was once a woman who was very, very cheerful, though she had little to make her so; for she was old, and poor, and lonely. She lived in a little bit of a cottage and earned a scant living by running errands for her neighbours, getting a bite here, a sup there, as reward for her services. So she made shift to get on, and always looked as spry and cheery as if she had not a want in the world.

Now one summer evening, as she was trotting, full of smiles as ever, along the high road to her hovel, what should she see but a big black pot lying in the ditch!

"Goodness me!" she cried, "that would be just the very thing for me if I only had something to put in it! But I haven't! Now who could have left it in the ditch?"

And she looked about her expecting the owner would not be far off; but she could see nobody.

"Maybe there is a hole in it," she went on, "and that's why it has been cast away. But it would do fine to put a flower in for my window; so I'll just take it home with me."

And with that she lifted the lid and looked inside. "Mercy me!" she cried, fair amazed. "If it isn't full of gold pieces. Here's luck!"

And so it was, brimful of great gold coins. Well, at first she simply stood stock-still, wondering if she was standing on her head or her heels. Then she began saying:

"Lawks! But I do feel rich. I feel awful rich!"

After she had said this many times, she began to wonder how she was to get her treasure home. It was too heavy for her to carry, and she could see no better way than to tie the end of her shawl to it and drag it behind her like a go-cart.

"It will soon be dark," she said to herself as she trotted along. "So much the better! The neighbours will not see what I'm bringing home, and I shall have all the night to myself, and be able to think what I'll do! Mayhap I'll buy a grand house and just sit by the fire with a cup o' tea and do no work at all like a queen. Or maybe I'll bury it at the garden foot and just keep a bit in the old china teapot on the chimney-piece. Or maybe—Goody! Goody! I feel that grand I don't know myself."

By this time she was a bit tired of dragging such a heavy weight, and, stopping to rest a while, turned to look at her treasure.

And lo! it wasn't a pot of gold at all! It was nothing but a lump of silver.

She stared at it, and rubbed her eyes, and stared at it again.

"Well! I never!" she said at last. "And me thinking it was a pot of gold! I must have been dreaming. But this is luck! Silver is far less trouble—easier to mind, and not so easy stolen. Them gold pieces would have been the death o' me, and with this great lump of silver—"

So she went off again planning what she would do, and feeling as rich as rich, until becoming a bit tired again she stopped to rest and gave a look round to see if her treasure was safe; and she saw nothing but a great lump of iron!

"Well! I never!" says she again. "And I mistaking it for silver! I must have been dreaming. But this is luck! It's real convenient. I can get penny pieces for old iron, and penny pieces are a deal handier for me than your gold and silver. Why! I should never have slept a wink for fear of being robbed. But a penny piece comes in useful, and I shall sell that iron for a lot and be real rich—rolling rich."

So on she trotted full of plans as to how she would spend her penny pieces, till once more she stopped to rest and looked round to see her treasure was safe. And this time she saw nothing but a big stone.

"Well! I never!" she cried, full of smiles. "And to think I mistook it for iron. I must have been dreaming. But here's luck indeed, and me wanting a stone terrible bad to stick open the gate. Eh my! but it's a change for the better! It's a fine thing to have good luck."

So, all in a hurry to see how the stone would keep the gate open, she trotted off down the hill till she came to her own cottage. She unlatched the gate and then turned to unfasten her shawl from the stone which lay on the path behind her. Aye! It was a stone sure enough. There was plenty light to see it lying there, douce and peaceable as a stone should.

So she bent over it to unfasten the shawl end, when—"Oh my!" All of a sudden it gave a jump, a squeal, and in one moment was as big as a haystack. Then it let down four great lanky legs and threw out two long ears, nourished a great long tail and romped off, kicking and squealing and whinnying and laughing like a naughty, mischievous boy!

The old woman stared after it till it was fairly out of sight, then she burst out laughing too.

"Well!" she chuckled, "I am in luck! Quite the luckiest body hereabouts. Fancy my seeing the Bogey-Beast all to myself; and making myself so free with it too! My goodness! I do feel that uplifted—that GRAND!"—

So she went into her cottage and spent the evening chuckling over her good luck.

is this a good way to end an essay?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Growing up, your teachers or parents might have asked you, "What do you want to be when you're older?" From a young age, kids have been introduced to the idea that a good job and a stable income helps them mentally, and physically. Despite its underlying materialism, this idea is undoubtedly true in the world today, for what limits the pursuit of happiness in life? Other than being able to afford the basic essentials to live your life? That being said, money definitely plays some sort of role in the production of happiness in someone's life, but only for a short period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Considering the fact that some people have not been personally introduced to extreme wealth or a "rich" way of living, some people might be happy with what they already have in life. But, for younger generations, social media and the internet present a seemingly unattainable and lavish lifestyle that fuels the yearning for more than what they have. In his article "Money and Happiness", Christopher Peterson, a former professor of psychology at the University of Michigan and author of the book The Good Life, claims "Research shows that income has a positive relationship with happiness (life satisfaction), although it is not a straight line”. Therefore, being able to afford expensive items creates a sort of satisfaction with the buyer. Which in turn makes them content with how their life may be. But this usually is not the case. This sense of material satisfaction does not last long. While the feeling of satisfaction from buying an expensive item might feel like a lifetime, the feeling longing for something better will always remain in the mind of that person. For example, in Tolstoy's short story "How Much Land Does a Man Need?” The protagonist of the story, Pahom, ends up always feeling unsatisfied with what he has, and looks for new ways to better his material possessions. This ultimately leads up to his untimely death. As Peterson explained, this is not as easy as a one plus one situation. The psychological effects of wealth can be very complex, and sometimes may cause one to become mentally drained in their mission to feel some sort of completion from buying their way into happiness. That being said, one cannot expect to have better possessions and instantly feel much more satisfied than they did before. Wealth cannot help one attain intimacy, friendships, and even a sense of accomplishment, just as how it can not save us from psychological problems including anxiety, depression, or addictions. Even with the correct treatment, it does not always guarantee a life of happiness for those who are treated by medicine or therapy.

The correct answer is Stanley’s grandfather falling in love with Myra Menke.

Explanation:

  A flashback is a narrative technique (literary, cinematographic ...) that takes the temporal narration back to a past event, almost always with the intention of locating something important for the configuration of the present character or situation developed.

In the book Holes, the use of this technique is what makes the reader have more than one time frame and perspective.

Answer:soliloquy

Explanation:

This excerpt is an example of soliloquy, as the  excerpt from William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

What is soliloquy?

A soliloquy is an actor's only line in a play, and the term comes from the Latin words solus, which means "alone," and loqui, which means "to speak." Usually, formal or literary language is used, as in Hamlet's soliloquies.

A monologue spoken by a single character in a play is referred to as a soliloquy. Shakespeare's plays usually begin with a character saying something along the lines of "Now I am alone," for example. You are also conscious of the commencement of a soliloquy.

Never forget that the main character of a soliloquy is speaking just to himself and not to anybody else, not even the audience.

Thus, it is soliloquy.
