Just general phrases that will appeal to the reader that hopefully will make my application stand out. Phrases that will sound mature and clever!!!
Thank you!!!!!
Reliable, concietioncious (spelling) works well as part of a team, honest, trustworthy. Willing and keen to learn. Able to meet work deadlines.
Try and relate these to things you have done, ie work experience, meant you were reliable, trusted and punctual. Any clubs you are a part of ie Army Cadets etc.
Then flatter, flatter, flatter!
Good luck

When he was nailed up did he feel perfect pain ?
Is perfect pain more painful than imperfect pain ?
He would have felt the pain just like anyone who died the same way.
However, Jesus had the weight of mankind’s sins to take with him (nailed) to the torture stake.
Once Jesus got arrested all the Physical pain started. From been punched, crown of thorns, whipped, to the pain of having nails hammered in to his wrists and feet. Hours of agony for mankind’s sins and to give us the hope of everlasting life on earth for all those who put faith in the ransom sacrifice.
That’s why he can truly be called, "The greatest Man Who Ever Lived".

how do you conjugate a latin verb in present, imperfect, and perfect tense?
what endings do you use?
how do you get the stem?
thanks everyone!
I’m taking you are a new latin student so I am guessing you are only doing indicative active verbs.
Present active endings are almost always (don’t worry about the -m):
singular plural
1st -o (/-m) -mus
2nd -s -tis
3rd -t -nt
(note: from now on, this is how i will be presenting the conjugated verbs)
for regular verbs in present active, take the 1st principle part (1st person sing present) and chop off the -o/-eo/-io:
porto -> port
moneo -> mon
scio -> sc
and then add a vowel and the endings:
to determine which one, look at both the 1st and 2nd principle parts
if 2nd pp ends with "-are" then it is 1st conjugation and therefore add an "-a":
porto, portare -> porta(+endings)
if 2nd pp ends with "-ere" and the 1st pp ends with "-eo" then it is 2nd conjugation and you therefore add an "-e":
moneo, monere -> mone(+endings)
if 2nd pp ends with "-ere" and the 1st pp ends with "-o" then it is 3rd conjugation. this gets tricky, a little- you therefore add an "-i" for all but 1st sing and 3rd plural:
traho, trahere ->
traho trahimus
trahis trahitis
trahit trahunt
(notice the "-unt" in the 3rd pl)
if 2nd pp ends with "-ere" and the 1st pp ends with "-io" then it is called 3rd "-io" conjugation. again, this gets tricky, a little- you therefore add an "-i" for all so its not like 3rd regular:
facio, facere ->
facio facimus
facis facitis
facit faciunt
(notice that, like 3rd regular, there is a "-unt" it is just preceded by a -i)
if 2nd pp ends with "-ire" and the 1st pp ends with "-io" then it is called 4th conjugation and everything is preceded by an "-i"
scio, scire ->
scio scimus
scis scitis
scit sciunt
Notice once again the -iunt, like the 3rd -io
NB: this is true for only regulars – some irregulars only follow this loosely or not at all (eg- fero, eo, sum). you need to memorize all of these present tense conjugations (sorry).
imperfect is alot easier:
take off the -re from the 2nd pp and add the following endings:
-bam -bamus
-bas -batis
-bat -bant
notice how the endings are almost identical to the present ones with just "-ba" before
Some exceptions:
3rd -io and 4th require and "-ie" before the -bam ALWAYS.
so…
portabam
monebam
trahebam
faciebam
and
sciebam
NB: Once again- memorize those irregulars (sorry)- but they become more uncommon to not follow this rule this time
Perfect is perhaps the easiest:
take the 3rd pp (perfect first person singular) and add the following endings:
-i -imus
-isti -istis
-it -erunt
so…
porto, portare, portavi ->
portavi portavimus
portavisti portavitis
portavit portaverunt
Note: Iregulars, for once, tend to be regular in this case- i don’t think i can think of one that isn’t regular (unless it is deponent- but don’t worry about that- you only need to know the passive to do those).
eg
sum, esse, fui
fui fuimus
fuisti fuistis
fuit fuerunt
If you have any more latin questions, i might be able to answer them. so try to like email me a question, if you can- i aint to sure if you can. whatever

It is necessary that the manager knows how to do any job in the store.
The only requirement is that the tense of both clauses makes sense.

What do you call two words which have identical spellings but which have opposite or near opposite meanings? And how many such words are there? All I can think of at the moment is the word "cleave".
Anyone know any more such words and also the term for it?
Thanks!
Two words with opposite meanings are called antonyms. So autoantonyms are words that are the opposite of themselves.
adumbrate
aught
bill
bolt
buckle…

They have variously been called contranyms, contronyms, antilogies, Janus words (after the two-faced Greek mythical figure, from which "January" also derives), and enantiodromes.

I have several soup recipes that say to cook the soup in a Dutch oven. What is a Dutch oven? Is it like a Crock-Pot or is it something else? Do I really need to cook my soup recipes in one, or can I just use a saucepan, and if so, how would I need to tweak the cooking times?
It would be good to have one but you don’t nessasarly need one to make soup it will still taste good.:(
