having completed his education, he started looking for a new job.
having studied Latin for many years, I found Italian relatively easy.

homework is something : having + past participle:




Examples of participle formation include:

Verb Past
Simple Past
Participle Present
Participle Regular/
Irregular
talk talked talking regular
hire hired hiring
do did done doing irregular
say said saying
eat ate eaten eating
write wrote written writing
beat beat beaten beating
sing sang sung singing

The present participle in English is active. It has the following uses:

* forming the progressive aspect: Jim was sleeping.
* modifying a noun, with active sense: Let sleeping dogs lie.
* modifying a verb or sentence: Broadly speaking, the project was successful.




=============
the past participle of a regular verb ends in -ed, and has the same spelling of the past tense of that verb: sometimes the last consonant is doubled (stop → stopped); sometimes the last vowel is changed (deny → denied). Irregular verbs tend to end in -en .

* When combined with the auxiliary verb to have, a past participle forms the perfect tenses of a verb.

to eat (ate): All the meal has been eaten.
to ride (ridden): I could have ridden my bicycle if it had not rained.
to strike (struck or stricken): In that fight, he has struck my stomach.

* When combined with the auxiliary verb to be, a past participle forms the passive voice of a verb.

to construct (constructed): The new mall is finally constructed.
to give (given): I was given a new book.
to talk (talked): That problem was talked about yesterday.
to throw (thrown): The ball was thrown by John.
to write (written): Those letters were written last year.

* Past participles can also modify a noun.

to require (required): Here are the documents required.

* Past participles may be used to modify a verb or sentence.

to see (seen): Seen from this perspective, we should easily do the work.

english homework for class at Cumbria University

today is thursday and i have an extra english course at Cumbria University.


it is an interesting and free class for all the foreigners in lancaster to improve their english. I think most of the teachers are students in teaching english at Cumbria University. The class is for 2 hours with several teachers who taught us for 10 minutes only per session. it is a very interesting class.

so homework is to write about festival in our country.

what festival in Malaysia? well, there are many of course since we are multi rational.
is that right word.?

I am going to choose 2 which is Eid ul fitri and Eidul adha.

Eid ul-Fitr or Id-ul-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr‎), often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "to break the fast" (and can also mean "nature", from the word "fitrah"); and so the holiday symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. It is celebrated starting on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal.

Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى‎ ‘Īdu l-’Aḍḥā) "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Bairam" is a religious festival celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God. However, God provided a ram in place once Ibrahim demonstrated his willingness to follow God's commands.
Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran.[1] (Muslims in Iran celebrate a third, non-denominational Eid.) Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khuṭba).
