The last film I saw was “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”. The main characters are Steve Rogers, Nick

mysterious assassin and before he died he warned Steve that SHIELD has been corrupted by an evil
organisation. When Rogers acts on Fury's warning to trust no one there, he is branded as a traitor by the
organization. With the help of his friends Natasha and Sam he embarks on a journey to solve this mystery,

syllables in the original adjective. ONE SYLLA LE Adjectives Add -est for the superlative. If the adjective has a
consonant + single vowel + consonant spelling, the final consonant lust be doubled before adding the
ending. Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (object). Adjectives with two syllables
can form the superlative either by adding -est or by preceeding the adjective with lost. In many cases, both
forms are used, although one usage will be lore common than the other. If you are not sure whether a two-
syllable adjective can take a superlative ending, play it safe and use lost instead. For adjectives ending in y,

by putting lost in front. these very common adjectives have completely irregular comparative and

below. In your explanation, include: the name of the structure, how it is formed and when we use it. He
HAS NEVER BEEN (be) to Spain, but he would really like to.

The form of the verb is present perfect simple. Use it especially when we want tu suggest a connection
between a past event and the present. To form it, use the auxiliary verb "HAVE" in the present with past
participle of the main verb. It is an irregular verb so it has its own form to the past participle.

EC The present perfect simple suggests completion while the continuous suggests something is unfinished.
We use the present perfect tense to talk about things where there is a connection between the past and
the present. We use the present perfect continuous when the focus is on an activity that is unfinished. the
present perfect continuous (has been writing) talks about how long something has been happening. the
present perfect simple (has written) talks about how much/how many have been completed. We can use
the present perfect simple to talk about how long when we view something as permanent. but the present

perfect continuous is often used to show that something is temporary.
