Answer:
Surprisingly, no.
Explanation:
As most stories throughout history suggest, standing up for your rights and what you believe in will get you what you want. But this isn't the case. Throughout history, we get stories of countries fighting for independence and the right to govern themselves freely but they don't receive it for hundreds of years and some still don't have the rights they deserve. While eventually, there is a change and situations lighten up for these "freedom fighters", most of the time the amount of bloodshed and horror that occurs before their rights are won.
Cognates are words from different languages that look similar and mean the same thing. These words are usually derived from and share the same etymological origin, which is an advantage if you're looking forward to learning a new language. For example, several words in other languages such as French and Spanish have similar appearances and meanings in English, with a few even having the same spelling.
First, you find the simple subject and simple predicate.
If the '-ing' form of the verb is not part of the simple predicate, then determine how it is used in the sentence. If it's in a noun position, then it's a gerund. If it is used as an adjective, then it will be a participle.
