Two unmissable local dishes from barranquilla

  1.  Fried Mojarra

When you start talking about typical food from Barranquilla, the first thing that comes to mind is that fried mojarra with patacón, coconut rice and salad. Of course, this dish must be accompanied by a glass of ice-cold panela water to cool off a bit from the heat of the city. Now let's proceed with the more technical stuff...

Rules for Possesive Pronouns

Imagen
As their names imply, possessive pronouns show ownership. The independent possessive pronouns are mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, and theirs. We break down each type and offer examples of their usage below. Possessive pronouns are a type of possessive noun. Also called absolute possessive pronouns, possessive pronouns simplify constructions that show possession of a noun by replacing it—in other words, independent possessive pronouns must stand alone and be used without a noun. To understand how possessive pronouns can make things simpler and clearer, first take a look at this example of a sentence that does not use a possessive pronoun: Juan’s peace lilies were healthier than my peace lilies. It sounds repetitive and feels a little unnecessary to state “peace lilies” twice in this sentence. Rewriting with a possessive pronoun simplifies things: Juan’s peace lilies were healthier than mine. Examples: My phone is dead. Pass me yours. Did you know that Labrador is mine? The house on t

What did I learn about the passive voice?

Imagen
The passive voice is a structure in English commonly used when you want your texts or speech to sound more formal. However, it is not a structure that you should use in every sentence of your speech, as this can make it difficult to understand your message. It is very common to find this structure in the news. Let's see why . The passive voice is used when: You want to be more formal. You don't know who or what performs the action in the sentence. The subject in the sentence is NOT relevant. You want to focus on the object of the sentence and not the subject. Examples: His new book was just published. Su nuevo libro acaba de publicarse. The girl was raised in a boarding school. La niña fue criada en un internado. The song was written by Shakira. La canción fue escrita por Shakira.

Moral Dilemmas, What is it?

Morality is defined as the principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behaviour. What makes these questions dilemmas is an individual’s definition of right and wrong or good and bad. However, in a time when many question our national moral character, pondering what to do in various situations can be a positive exercise preparing an individual for worst and best case scenarios. For example,  You go out with your husband for dinner at a new restaurant you have not frequented before. It is in a part of town you rarely visit. You are shocked to see your friend’s spouse having dinner with a very young, attractive person. From the way they are behaving, it is obvious they are more than friends. The couple finish their meal and leave without seeing you. They behave very affectionately on the way out the door.  Do you: Tell your friend, knowing you probably will not be believed and that it may ruin your friendship? Say nothing about seeing the couple as it is
