• Can you think of the last time you told someone how you really felt at that moment? • What kinds of words did you use to express your feelings?
(…) Chances are, you used a positive or a negative adjective to describe your feelings about that specific person, place, thing, or idea. Whenever you share your feelings with someone, you use describing words, also known as adjectives or words that describe nouns. I. - Positive and Negative Adjective Descriptions Positive adjectives describe emotions such as happiness, love, inspiration, peace, hope, excitement, gratefulness, and amusement. Using words like these can help when you want to describe other people, objects, places, and situations in a pleasant way. Negative adjectives help to describe the unpleasant side of people, animals, places, things and experiences.

II. - Talking about unfinished actions � English Textbook page 73
1. - We use the Present Perfect tense to talk about unfinished actions that started in the past and are still true in the present. Examples: ü I’ve known John for three years. ü Louise has lived in Chile since 2012. 2. - The Present Perfect can also be used to refer to an action that has been completed, without indicating when this happened. Examples: ü I’ve been to Italy, France and Spain. ü She has seen that film several times.
