Answer:

When you say my sister has cut her nails using a clipper, it indicates that the action has already finished. The action has finished in the recent past, which means not too long ago she cut her nails.

But, when you say she is cutting her nails, it means the action is not over yet. The action is still going on, she is still cutting her nails and hasn't finished it yet.

This is the difference between present perfect and present continuous tense.

<em>Hope this helps.</em>

Answer: I think the author wanted to explain what dogs can and can't do.

Explanation:

I think this because the paragraph talks about how dogs can be so smart and then all of a sudden be chasing a tail that they're never going to catch for an hour.

Make a story of achievement during a pandemic
trasher [3.6K]

Explanation:

Answer: This pandemic was a rough time for most people, but if u think about it we accomplished a lot too. We got use to wearing a mask most of us at least (Karen). We also use hand sanitizer and wash our  hands a lot more and we use hand sanitizer we try to keep our distance and go into quarantine when we need to. We are learning how to go to school online and so much more to think this pandemic started a year ago. and we knew nothing about quarantining and wearing masks i personally haven't worn a mask or gone into quarantine before 2020. i use to always travel in the summer but its a lot safer to stay at home i got use to my annoying siblings and we don't  fight as much . Now i am excited for this pandemic to end so i can see my family and friends but imagine telling our grand kids we survived a global pandemic we at least have a good story to tell. maybe 2022 will be better

What tasks must Psyche perform for Venus? How are they accomplished?
kakasveta [241]
<span>When Psyche was born, Venus was so jealous of her beauty, that she started hating her. However, on top of that, Venus' son Cupid fell in love with Psyche, which angered his mother even more, This is why she had Psyche perform a several seemingly impossible tasks for her. 1. She had to sort out a huge pile of seeds - however, an ant and his friends helped her finish this. 2. She had to retrieve the Golden Fleece - meaning that she had to take the wool from a very violent sheep. She is helped by some plants who tell her that she should gather their fleece at dusk, from the bushes where it may have been caught, and not from the sheep directly. 3. She had to fill a flask with water coming from the River Styx, and she is then helped by Jupiter himself. 4. For her final task, she had to return from the Underworld with a box of beauty ointment of Persephone/Proserpina, which she accomplishes. However, she was too curious to see what was in the box, which is why she opened it, and then fell into a deep sleep. Later on, Cupid finds her and wakes her up, and they finally get married.</span>
