Important and renowned relic of the Mayan civilization, the main buildings there remain correspond to the time of the decline of Mayan culture known to archaeologists as the post-classical period.

Coliseo.

The Colosseum is an amphitheater of the Roman Empire period, built in the first century in the center of the city of Rome. Originally called the Flavian Amphitheater (Amphitheatrum Flavium), in honor of the Flavian dynasty of emperors who built it, and came to be called Colosseum by a large statue located next to it, the Colossus of Nero, not currently conserved. For preservation and history, the Colosseum is one of the most famous monuments of classical antiquity. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1980 by UNESCO and one of The New Seven Wonders of the World on July 7, 2007

Christ the Redeemer.

The statue Cristo Redentor or Christ of Corcovado is a 38-meter image of Jesus of Nazareth with open arms showing the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, which already had become independent. It is located 709 meters above sea level in the Tijuca National Park, atop the Corcovado Mountain. It was inaugurated on October 12, 1931, after about five years of construction.

Considered the largest Art Deco statue in the world. It is recognized as one of The New Seven Wonders of the Modern World with Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China, Rome's Colosseum, the Taj Mahal, Chichen Itza, and Petra. It is the only one of The New Seven Wonders of the World that has not been declared a World Heritage Site, the latest and the most voted seven.

Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China (Traditional Chinese Simplified Chinese:,: Cháng Chéng, "Long fortress") or (simplified Chinese:, Traditional Chinese: pinyin: Wànlǐ Chángchéng, literally "The long wall of 10,000 Li (里)") (10,000 li = 8851.8 km. In China, 10,000 li represent "infinity".) is an ancient Chinese fortification built and rebuilt between the V century a. C. and the sixteenth century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire during the successive imperial dynasties attacks Xiongnu nomads of Mongolia and Manchuria.

Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmatʃu ˈpiktʃu], Quechua: Machu Picchu [ˈmɑtʃu ˈpixtʃu], "Old Peak") is a 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level.[1][2] Machu Picchu is located in the Cusco Region of Peru, South America. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cusco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar icon of Inca civilization.

Petra

Established possibly as early as 312 BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans,[1] it is a symbol of Jordan, as well as its most-visited tourist attraction.[2] It lies on the slope of Jebel al-Madhbah (identified by some as the biblical Mount Hor[3]) in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.

Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Islamic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish and Indian architectural styles.[5][6]

In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen.[7] The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri.[8][9] Lahauri[10] is generally considered to be the principal designer

Comparative and superlative

Do you remember the five rules to form the comparative and superlative adjectives in English? Let's review them here:

RULE 1

The comparative and superlative of one-syllable adjectives are formed by adding the endings-er and-est to the end of the adjective:

coldest colder >> cold >>

RULE 2

Adjectives with a vowel followed by a consonant double the final consonant before adding the endings-er or-est:

hottest hot >> hotter >>

RULE 3

The two-syllable adjectives ending in-and change and only then i add the endings-er or-est:

noisy >> noisier noisiest >>

RULE 4

In case two or more adjectives syllables (except those ending in-y) the comparative and superlative form with more and most:

beautiful >> more beautiful >> most beautiful

LAW 5

Remember that the comparative and superlative "irregular" change completely. Here are some:

good >> better >> best worst bad >> worse >>

far >> farther / Further >> farthest / furthest

Modals (Modales)

Los verbos modales son verbos auxiliares que no pueden funcionar como un verbo principal, a diferencia de los verbos auxiliares "be", "do" y "have" que sí pueden funcionar como un verbo principal.

Los verbos modales expresan modalidad. Pueden expresar habilidad, posibilidad, necesidad u otra condición. Son verbos auxiliares del futuro y del condicional. Los tiempos verbales ingleses no son suficientes para expresar ideas de posibilidad o incertidumbre. No existe un tiempo verbal del condicional en inglés. A la vez, se usan verbos auxiliares para el condicional. Tampoco hay un tiempo verbal como el subjuntivo en español. Por eso, es muy importante
