IRREGULAR VERBS
Trata-se do nosso "particípio" em português...
- estudado studied
- feito done / made
- trabalhado worked
- visto seen
- escrito written
Em português, o Particípio é a forma que recebe ado ou ido ao fim do verbo. ( mudar - mudado )
Em inglês, com o mesmo mecanismo, o Past Paticiple é a forma que recebe o ED ao fim do verbo,
nos casos dos verbos regulares. ( change - changed )
Como em português, existem os particípios irregulares.
- A comida foi paga... (e não "pagada" nesse caso)
- A comida foi feita... (e não "fazida", que nem existe)
- The food was made... (irregular de make)
- The food was done... (irregular de do)

existem os participios duplos em inglês.

PERFECT PRESENT - seeing examples
WE USE PRESENT PERFECT...
SOMETIMES because it is related to now,
sometimes because THERE IS NO EXACTNESS...
So, it depends on the case!
______________________________________________________________
take a look at these examples below:
Let's imagine this answer: "Yes, I have..."
Well, she is not seeing it now, is she? Not anymore...
She saw it in the past, and, because IT DOESN'T MATTER EXACTLY WHEN,
she uses the Present Perfect instead of the Past Simple...
Well, she is not seeing it now, is she? Not anymore...
She saw it in the past, and, because IT DOESN'T MATTER EXACTLY WHEN,
she uses the Present Perfect instead of the Past Simple...
______________________________________________________________
another example
"It doesn't matter exactly when it happened"
That's why he doesn't use the simple past...
THERE IS NO PRECISION, NO ACCURACY...
Nice test
SIMPLE PAST / PERFECT PRESENT / PERFECT PAST

Changing the conventional "way of thinking"
source: KnowledgeOfToday
There was this robbery in Guangzhou, the robber shouted to everyone: "All don't move, money belongs to the state, life belongs to you."
Everyone in the bank laid down quietly.
This is called "Mind Changing Concept --> Changing the conventional "way of thinking".
------------------------------
One lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!"
This is called "Being Professional --> Focus only on what you are trained to do!"
------------------------------
When the robbers got back, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older robber (who is only primary school educated), "Big bro, let's count how much we got", the older robber rebutted and said, "You very stupid, so much money, how to count, tonight TV will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"
This is called "Experience --> nowadays experience is more important than paper qualifications!"
------------------------------
After the robbers left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. The supervisor says "Wait, wait wait, let's put the 5 million RMB we embezzled into the amount the robbers robbed".
This is called "Swim with the tide --> converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!"
------------------------------
The supervisor says "It will be good if there is a robbery every month".
This is called "Killing Boredom --> Happiness is most important."
------------------------------
The next day, TV news reported that 100 million RMB was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count 20 million RMB. The robbers were very angry and complained "We risked our lives and only took 20 million RMB, the bank manager took 80 million RMB with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated to be a thief!"
This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold !"
------------------------------
The bank manager was smiling and happy because his loss in the CINOPEC shares are now covered by this robbery.
This is called "Seizing the opportunity --> daring to take risks!"
------------------------------
Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank.

Bodies of Subversion - the history of women’s tattoo art
source: powerhousebooks.com
"Bodies of Subversion was the
first history of women’s tattoo art when it was released in 1997,
providing a fascinating excursion to a subculture that dates back to the
nineteenth-century and including many never-before-seen photos of
tattooed women from the last century. Newly revised and expanded, it
remains the only book to chronicle the history of both tattooed women
and women tattooists. As the primary reference source on the subject,
it contains information from the original edition, including
documentation of:
•Nineteenth-century sideshow attractions who created fantastic abduction tales in which they claimed to have been forcibly tattooed.
•Victorian society women who wore tattoos as custom couture, including Winston Churchill’s mother, who wore a serpent on her wrist.
•Maud Wagner, the first known woman tattooist, who in 1904 traded a date with her tattooist husband-to-be for an apprenticeship.
•The parallel rise of tattooing and cosmetic surgery during the 80s when women tattooists became soul doctors to a nation afflicted with body anxieties.
•Breast cancer survivors of the 90s who tattoo their mastectomy scars as an alternative to reconstructive surgery or prosthetics.
The book contains over 100 new photos and FULL COLOR images throughout including newly discovered work by Britain’s first female tattooist, Jessie Knight; Janis Joplin’s wrist tattoo; and tattooed pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber. In addition, the updated 3rd edition boasts a sleek design and new chapters documenting recent changes to the timeline of female tattooing, including a section on: celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D, the most famous tattooist, male or female, in the world; the impact of reality shows on women’s tattoo culture; and, therapeutic uses of tattooing for women leaving gangs, prisons, or situations of domestic abuse."

May They Fulfill Their Promises – The New Year and the New Light!
“We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles.” – Thomas Ediso
132 years ago today, on December 31, 1879, Thomas Edison illuminated his Menlo Park laboratory complex with the first public demonstration of an incandescent lighting system. Building on the works of other inventors, Edison created an inexpensive, long-lasting (40 hours!) lamp and a prototype distribution system.
On the same day, a new issue of Puck Magazine hit the streets. It contained a large lithograph by Joseph Keppler that celebrated the great promise of Edison’s endeavors.
May They Fulfill Their Promises – The New Year and the New Light!
by Joseph Keppler
Puck Magazine Centerspread
12 1/2" w x 18 1/2" h
Three small vignettes in the corners show natural light sources overshadowed by the promise of electric light. The upper left shows the "Total Eclipse of the Sun by the Earth" and the upper right is captioned "The Northern Lights pack valise and move on." In the lower right, "The Moon goes into mourning."
Baby New Year holds an electrified rattle and sits on top of a smiling light bulb that brings "A New Light to the World."
Below the bulb, Father Time flies away encumbered by gas lights , kerosene lamps, and candlesticks
Edison’s incandescent bulb dominated the domestic lighting market for over a century, but it always had an efficiency problem: 90% of the power consumed by incandescents is emitted as heat rather than as visible light.
In 2007, Australia passed legislation to phase out incandescent bulbs as an energy-saving measure. The European Union passed a similar mandate to remove incandescent bulbs from the market by 2012. In the U.S., the Bush Administration and Congress passed energy laws in 2007 that regulated new efficiency standards scheduled to take effect in 2012. It seemed as if Incandescent bulbs were doomed to be replaced by compact fluorescent light bulbs.
But wait! Spurred by the government mandates, some bulb manufacturers, such as General Electric, Osram Sylvania and Philips, are producing new incandescents that meet the new energy standards! One energy efficiency consultant said, "There have been more incandescent innovations in the last three years than in the last two decades.”
The future will be bright! Happy New Year!

"A design for life
When, in many years from now, you finally come to meet your maker
(we’re hoping for shuffling off in our sleep aged 90 having spent the
night drinking very expensive red wine with Girls Aloud, but that’s just
us), how will your life be remembered?
We can all hope for something dramatically exciting, but in reality we’re thinking: birth, school, work, death. In short, we doubt anyone will be using our lives as a basis for some ace part mathematical formula/part linear artwork.
Unlike Michael Jackson, Julius Caesar, Bruce Lee, Darth Vader and others. These grand historical figures have had their colourful lives condensed into a simple storyboard that is as clever as it is aesthetically pleasing.
The work of Milan-based design studio H-57, we think they might just catch on. Moreover, they might also spur us on to actually do something with our tawdry lives
For more H-57 goodness head here."
