Charles Darwin set sail on the ship HMS Beagle on December 27, 1831, from Plymouth, England. Darwin was twenty-two years old when he was hired to be the ship’s naturalist. Most of the trip was spent sailing around South America. There Darwin spent considerable time ashore collecting plants and animals. Darwin filled notebooks with his observations of plants, animals, and geology. The trip was an almost five-year adventure and the ship returned to Falmouth, England, on October 2, 1836.

Throughout South America, Darwin collected a variety of bird specimens. One key observation Darwin made occurred while he was studying the specimens from the Galapagos Islands. He noticed the finches on the island were similar to the finches from the mainland, but each showed certain characteristics that helped them to gather food more easily in their specific habitat. He collected many specimens of the finches on the Galapagos Islands. These specimens and his notebooks provided Darwin with a record of his observations as he developed the theory of evolution through natural selection.

sladkih [1.3K]

<span>The scene you are referring to in _Walk Two Moons_ occurs in Chapter 23, “The Badlands.”  When Sal’s mother says she wants to visit Idaho in order for her cousin, whom she has not seen in 15 years, to tell her what she is really like, she means that she wants to be told (or even reminded) what she was like before she was a mother and before she was married.  It seems as if she wants to be reminded of the person she feels she no longer is.  And, to come into contact with one whose last memory of her is of whom she used to be is why she wants to go to Idaho.</span>

Answer:

I don't know what you need exactly but just in case I send you the most important grammar rules of English

1- Adverbs vs adjectives

Be sure to use adjectives and adverbs correctly. Adjectives are used to describe, identify and quantify people or things; and adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs.

For example

That is a cute puppy → That is a cute puppy (adjective)

He speaks slowly → He speaks slowly (adverb)

2- Check the homophones

Homophones are those words that sound the same, but are written differently and have different meanings. They are a nightmare when writing in English, since the proofreader does not detect them as poorly written, and many times they are lost before our eyes. Therefore, it is recommended to make a thorough review after writing a text in order to eliminate these errors.

Examples:

They’re / their / there

Complement / compliment

3- Use the correct conjugation of the verb according to the subject

You should always take the subject of the sentence into account when using English verbs, since talking about singular subjects (he / she / it) is not the same as talking about plural subjects (they / we).

For example in present simple:

Correct → She has two cats

Incorrect → She have two cats

4- Match your ideas with conjunctions

If you want to relate two ideas with a second combination of subject, verb and complement, you must do so with the coordinating conjunctions.

For example

I don’t walk Mary’s dog, nor do I wash him → I don’t take Mary’s dog for a walk, nor do I bathe him

Mary fed her dog, and I drank tea → Mary fed the dog, and I drank tea.

 

5- Use a “consecutive comma” in a list

The consecutive comma is the last comma in a list, usually appears before "and". Let's see some examples:

Pets R Us has lizards, dogs, and birds → Pets R Us has lizards, dogs and birds

In this example we can see that the consecutive comma is after "dogs".

Pets R Us has lizards and frogs, dogs and cats, and parakeets and macaws

In this sentence the consecutive comma comes before "and", but not the last of the sentence. The last "and" is there just to make the prayer sound better, pairs of animals are being listed.

6- Use the “semicolon” ​​to join two ideas

If you want to join two ideas, but you don't know how or you can't put a coordinating conjunction, you can use the “semicolon”

For example: Mary’s dog is hyperactive; it won’t stop barking → Mary’s dog is hyperactive; It doesn't stop barking.

7- Use verb tenses correctly

If you are going to talk about daily actions, use the present simple.

For example: I don’t walk Mary’s dog → I don’t walk Mary’s dog

Mary and I drink tea every Tuesday → Mary and I drink tea every Tuesday

Use the present progressive or continuous to talk about actions that are happening in the moment. These sentences are easy to perform, because the verb always ends "-ing."

For example: Mary is playing with her hyperactive dog → Mary is playing with her hyperactive dog

The barking dogs outside are driving me crazy → The dogs that are barking outside are driving me crazy

Use the present perfect to talk about past actions that have not culminated. Remember to use the verb "have" as an auxiliary with your conjugation in the present.

For example:

I have drunk three cups of tea today → I've had three cups of tea today

Mary’s hyperactive dog has bitten me three times so far → Mary's hyperactive dog has bitten me three times so far

The perfect past is used when we want to talk about two actions that happened in the past and want to highlight which one happened first. The action that happened first is the one that will change to past perfect and gets the auxiliary verb "had".

For example: I had not yet eaten breakfast when Mary walked her dog → I had not had breakfast yet when Mary walked her dog

By the time I drank one cup of tea, Mary’s dog had barked a million times → By the time I had a cup of tea, Mary’s dog had barked a million times

8- Add “-ed” to past verbs

When we speak in the past, we must add “-ed” to regular verbs. But we must be careful with irregular verbs, because they conjugate differently.

For example: Mary walked her dog this morning → Mary walked her dog this morning.

I drank three cups of tea yesterday → Yesterday I had three cups of tea.
