While parents, teachers and coaches all play an important role in promoting sport amongst the young, I believe the primary responsibility lies with parents. They have the most direct influence over their children's activities and lifestyle choices. By their own example of an active lifestyle and enthusiasm for sport, parents can inspire children to participate. They can sign children up for local youth sports programs and commit to transporting them to practices and games. Teachers can certainly support sport through physical education classes and after-school clubs. However, with large class sizes and limited time, they may not be able to devote as much individual attention to each child's interests and talents as parents can. Coaches of youth teams can

Formar adverbios a partir de adjetivos
This document discusses how to form adverbs from adjectives in Spanish. In most cases, an adverb is formed by adding "-ly" to an adjective. However, if the adjective ends in "-y," the "y" is replaced with "i" before adding "-ly." If the adjective ends in "-able," "-ible," or "-le," the final "e" is replaced with "y" before adding "-ly." For adjectives ending in "-ic," "-ally" is added. Some adjectives are identical to their adverb forms, such as "fast" and "hard." The adverb that corresponds to the adjective "good" is "well."

3. Future perfect (will have + past participle) expresses that an action will be completed by a specific future time.
4. Future perfect continuous (will have been + verb + ing) refers to how long an ongoing action will continue until a future time.

Types of conditionals summary and special cases
This document summarizes the different types of conditional sentences in English. There are four main types: zero conditional for facts, first conditional for likely possibilities in the present/future, second conditional for unlikely possibilities in the present/future, and third conditional for hypothetical situations in the past. Special cases include using "were" or "had" instead of "if" for a more formal tone, and using "if" with "should" to refer to accidental or chance events.
Mixedconditionalsexplanation for ss
Mixed conditionals combine elements of different conditional patterns to describe imaginary situations and results that span both the past and present. The two types are: 1) a present result of a past condition, using a third conditional to describe an imaginary past situation and a second conditional for the imaginary present result. 2) a past result of a present condition, using a second conditional for the imaginary present situation and a third conditional for the imaginary past result. Examples are provided for each type.
3rd conditional
The third conditional is used to talk about hypothetical situations and their consequences in the past that did not actually happen. It expresses that both the condition and result are impossible. The structure uses the past perfect tense (had + past participle) to talk about the impossible past condition, and would have + past participle to talk about the impossible past result. Examples are given such as "If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a car" and "If you had driven more carefully, you would not have had an accident." The third conditional can express criticism or regret about things that did not happen in the past.
Second conditional
If the document discusses the second conditional, which uses the past tense in the if clause to talk about an unreal or hypothetical situation in the present or future, and the main clause expresses the possible result using "would", "could", or "might". For example, "If the situation got worse with alcohol, I would send him to rehab" or "If there were more buses, we would/could leave the car at home."
Zero and first conditional
The document discusses zero and type 1 conditionals in English grammar.
Zero conditionals express general truths using the simple present tense in both clauses, such as "If you heat ice, it melts." Type 1 conditionals refer to possible future events, using the simple present in the if-clause and simple future, modal verbs, or imperatives in the main clause, like "If it rains, you will get wet." Both conditionals express cause-and-effect relationships between the if-clause and main clause.

Specifically in Spain, issues include deforestation from uncontrolled logging and fires, air pollution from industry ranked 20th globally, and water pollution from industry, agriculture, and oil tankers affecting both surface and coastal waters.
