    Hi teacher, thanks for your lesson it was interesting as ever.
    I only describe the picture number 6, it is my favorite one. In the picture there is a girl she is in her twenties she wears a hat she is a brunette she has straight hair.
    The woman with black short hair and black skin I think it is Michelle Obama.
    I like small plaits and dreadlocks

  • @monicaalejandragutierrezlo2330

    Hi Andrew. I will try to drescribe the people on the pictures but i have to say first that describing people is one of the most challenging things for me, well no describing it's more or less the order to do it.
    In the first picture we have a young average height lady in her twenties. She is average built and has light skin. She also has a lovely curly shoulder-length hair and dark brown eyes. besides, she has a tatto on her right shoulder.

  • @mariejosejocktane2976
    @mariejosejocktane2976 Před 3 lety +2

    I like very much the first young lady, she is a brunette with a shoulder-lenght curly brown hair in which she has put a red flower, she has made a beautiful tatoo on her right shoulder. I would say she is her twenties like the young black man dressed in a blue suit, he must go to his job. The forth number has a goatee like the number three who has also a goatee and more wears a beautiful black sunglassess, he is bald and very muscular with a olive skin because I think his lives in mediterranean country perhaps « Grèce ». The fith number is also of mediterranean type with a beautiful moustache and a grey hair, I give him fifty years old. Finally, there are two young girls left...two teenagers. Both are a long light brown hair but one has a plaits and the other a straw hat on her straight hair.
    One smiles and the other is looking at us with a big blue eyes.

  • @IBRAHIM_ORTON
    @IBRAHIM_ORTON Před 3 lety +1

    Hay sir its Ibrahim good morning
    Sir as we know we don't use past perfect alone ,we use past perfect active and passive alone when there is context and also we use it with at least two events happened in past to show one event happened before another event or events .
    But teacher can I use past simple + before to show event happened before with "context" and also with at least two or more event to show which event happened first .
    Like
    #Context (here past perfect alone cuz we use past perfect alone when there us context to show past perfect happened before our context)
    I packed my bags and went to USA my dad had told me that I would see different people there ...
    Past simple with before ..
    I packed my bags and went to USA before these my dad told me that I would see different people there...
    #With at least two event
    I had seen it when I was 4.
    I saw it before when I was 4.
    I texted this cuz we know that we don't use past perfect like past simple means we don't use it for single event .
    And we only use past perfect with context and with two past event to show which happened first.
    So for showing these can I use past simple with before to use it with context and with two events and not to use past perfect ...
    Lemme know
    Okay

    Good morning, teacher. LADIES FIRST. Person number 1:She is a lady in her thirties. Her build is medium build and her skin light. On her right shoulder, she has a tattoo. Her hair is long, curly, and brown. Her face is relaxed, quiet. She is casually dressed and seems she follows the fashion of years '70.
    Person number 2: She is a girl in her twenties. Her hair is blond and combed with two thick plaits. Her skin is light and her eyes seem green. She is smiling and looks happy.
    Person number 6: She also is a girl really young, maybe a teenager. She has big blues eyes and long, straight and brown hair. She wears a straw hat adorned with a blue ribbon which calls again the colour of her eyes. Overall, she has a romantic air.

    MEN PORTRAITS. Person number 3: This white man could be in his forties. His build is muscular and he looks like a gym-goer. He's bald, but he wears a goatee. And then, he wears dark glasses, a necklace, and a black shirt. He gets casually dressed and seems to want to appear a' macho'.
    Person number 4: This is a young man maybe in his twenties. His skin is dark like his eyes. He has very short and curly hair; he also has a goatee and gets formally dressed.
    Person number 5: This is a middle-aged man. His hair and mustache are gray and he has olive skin. I see bags under his dark eyes. He gets formally dressed. He doesn't wear a tie. This particular perhaps means he lives in the Medio-Oriental area.
