This is a verb. To explain this you need to understand the difference between verbs, participles, and gerunds. A verb is obviously an action that is being done to something. So the students are giggling. A gerund is in the form of a verb; however, a gerund acts like a noun. An example of this could be hiking. As a verb it would be, "We saw them last night, they were hiking up the mountain." As a gerund it would be, "When we go camping my favorite activity is hiking with Grandpa." The verb in that sentence is camping because you are doing an action and the gerund would be hiking because it is the name of the activity that you like the most. A participle is a word formed from a verb that acts as though it were an adjective. An example could be "Have you ever read The Giving Tree?" This would be a participle because giving is an action that you do;however, when you put it in that phrase it is describing the tree as a tree that gives.

Evaluate the culture presented in the story "Games at Twilight". What details do you notice that show this story is not taking p
Makovka662 [10]

The main reason for us to realize that "Games at Twilight" is not happening in the USA is the clothes that Ravi's mother wears. This is because the narrative informs that, after bathing, she wears a clean and fresh Sari.

Sari is a traditional outfit worn by women in India, with that, we can confirm that "Games at Twilight" is set in India. This is also confirmed by the names of Ravi's brothers, which are not common names in the US, but are not abnormal in India.

The impactful experience of Ravi's life was a moment when he was forgotten by his brothers, in a joke. This made him extremely sad because he felt rejected and devalued. This experience is not unique to Indian culture and can be felt and lived by any citizen of any culture.

Identify and explain Joseph Conrad's formal or informal writing in this passage from The Heart of Darkness, citing specific exam
Marat540 [252]

It doesn't look informal, but it is. Here's the evidence.

  1. The "miracle" is at first sight an accountant, not one of the disciples. It is a bit inaccurate and exaggerated which formal writing would not do.
  2. He came out to get a "breath of fresh air." This is quoted directly from what the man said. A breath of fresh air is not very formal. What did he actually do? He took a break from his work.
  3. The writing records a detail that the author is apologetic for. It was an unnecessary detail, but there is a reason for including him. We don't know what it is, but formal writing would never admit to including this. Or if it did use it, there would be no apology.
  4. Formal writing is very careful about how quotations are used and for what purpose.
