1 answer:

4 0

It depends in what sense you’re using it in. Say if you were to call some childlike meaning they don’t have responsibility and they do not act mature. that is using “childlike” in a negative manner. As for using it in a positive way, you’d be referring to their sense of humor or that the person is care free and some would say “you move like the wind and roll with the waves”

The colonist stood up before throwing a snowball into the crowd of soldiers.what are the objects of the underlined prepositions

lbvjy [14]

You didn't underline anything. However, I can see that there are two prepositions in this sentence, and those are the words into and of, which means those are definitely underlined here.
An object of a preposition refers to words which follow a particular preposition. So, having this in mind, the word that follows into is crowd, and the word that follows of is soldiers. The correct answer is crowd; soldiers.

3. Cathy watches all the soap operas on TV.

4.Mick has a stressful lifestyle, he is a police officer.

5.I am writing a book about London. I am interviewing some businessman at the moment.

Explanation:

We use the present continuous to talk about a thing that is happening or that we are doing at the moment, to talk about plans and temporary situations.

To write affirmative sentences:

He, she, it + is+ verb with ing. For example, he is cooking.

We, you, they, you + are+ verb with ing. For example, you are watching a film.

I + am+ verb with ing. For example, I am running.

To make negative sentences:

He, she, it+ is not /isn't+ verb with ing. For example, He isn't cooking at the moment.

We, you, they, you+ are not/ aren't + verb with ing. For example, you aren't watching a film.

I+ am not+ verb with ing. For example, I am not running.

If we want to make questions, we write first the auxiliary verb and then the subject and the verb with ing. For example, Are you watching the show? , or is she cooking?

We use the present simple to talk about habits, general truths, and to express emotions.

To make affirmative sentences:

He, she it+ verb with s. For example, He drives to school every morning.

We, you, they, you+ verb without s. For example, they go to the bar every Saturday.

I + verb without s. For example, I love pasta.

To make negative sentences:

He, she it+ does not /doesn't + verb without s. For example, She doesn't drive to school every morning.

We, you, they, you, i+ do not/ don't+ verb without s. For example, We don't go to the bar every Saturday.

To make questions we write first the auxiliary does or do, depending on the subject, the subject and the verb without s. For example, do you like pizza? or does he eat lunch?
