So, basically, the reason why people use this term is to compare a sleeping baby to a person who slept exceptionally well. For example, a woman who got her beauty sleep feels happy, joyed, and well-rested, (like me!! ;)) so, she says that she feels like saying, "I slept like a baby." To kind of loosen up your fight, yes, many newborns sleep a lot, and all, and always wake up well rested, because apparently, they do not have a sleep limit!

How different do you think Columbus's journal would have been if he had written it only for personal use and not for an audience

Ede4ka [16]

Answer and Explanation:

Colombus' writings show a commercial look at the discovery of the new continent. Colombo needed to show that his exploratory trips were worthwhile and deserved the monarchs' investment. For this reason, he wrote information that showed how profitable the new continent was. He describes the location for commercial purposes and would be relevant to the monarchy, but these reports would have been different if he had written the reports for personal use. In this case, Colombus would present more contemplative information and describe the new continent with the beauties and curiosities that he found both in relation to the landscape and the native peoples.

Explanation:

The present perfect simple and the present perfect continuous are tenses we use when we want to talk about past actions or states that are still connected to the present.

The present perfect simple tells us that an action expressed by the verb is still going on or has recently stopped and that it still has an influence on the present. It's built like this: <em>have/has + past participle.</em>

The present perfect continuous tells us that an action started in the past and that it's still continuing in the present. It's built like this: <em>has/have + been + present participle.</em>
