In this passage from Henry David Thoreau's Walden, the narrator uses strong sensory language to create clear images - to, in essence, paint a clear picture in words - of the forest and the hills. The narrator is able, through the use of such strong sensory language and imagery to give the read a clear image of what he is describing, which, in turns, makes the scene he is describing come to life.
Hello!
I believe your answers are A and D.
I know it is A) because in 3rd sentence in the story is says: "He was very learned in all languages, and knew a great deal about herbs and medicines."
I know it is D) because in the second line in the story it says: " This king was a leper, and all his doctors had been unable to cure him, when a very clever physician came to his court."
I hope it helps!
Answer:
The main difference between past simple and past continuous tense is that:
- we use<u> past simple tense</u> when something happened at some time in past. We also commonly use this tense with past time adverbs (yesterday, last night, two days ago, etc.)
For example: John called his friend yesterday.
- we use <u>past continuous tense</u> if an action occurred in the past and <u>lasted for a period of time.</u>
Example: I was reading a book all day yesterday.
We used past continuous tense because the action of reading lasted for some time (a whole day in this case).
