Gerunds And Infinitives
This document discusses the differences between gerunds, infinitives, and base forms of verbs in English. Gerunds are formed by adding "-ing" to the base form of a verb and can be used as subjects or objects. Infinitives are always preceded by "to" and can be subjects or objects after certain verbs and adjectives. Base forms are used after perception verbs and the verbs "let" and "make." Certain verbs like "stop," "remember," "regret," and "forget" can be followed by either a gerund or infinitive with subtle differences in meaning.
The passive
The document discusses the passive voice in verbs. It defines the passive voice as when the subject of the sentence is acted upon rather than performing the action. It notes that the passive voice is used when the focus is on the action itself rather than who or what is performing it, or when the active subject is unknown. Examples are provided to illustrate converting sentences from active to passive voice by making the object the subject and using forms of "to be" plus the past participle. Forms of the present and past progressive passive voices are also shown.
Comparatives and superlatives + modifying comparisons
The document discusses comparative and superlative adjectives in English. Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things and are formed by adding -er or using more. Superlative adjectives compare one thing to a whole group and are formed by adding -est or using most. There are rules for forming comparatives and superlatives depending on the number of syllables in the adjective. Comparatives use than to indicate what is being compared, while superlatives do not require than.
So, neither + auxiliaries
This document discusses the forms "So...I" and "Neither...I" which are used to agree with positive and negative statements made by other people. "So...I" is used to agree with positive statements and requires inserting an auxiliary verb between "so" and the subject. "Neither...I" is used to agree with negative statements and also requires an auxiliary verb between "neither" and the subject. Examples are provided to illustrate how to select the correct auxiliary verb based on the tense or modality of the original statement.
Comparatives
The document discusses comparatives in English grammar. It explains that comparatives are forms of adjectives and adverbs used to compare two people, animals, or things. It describes the different rules for forming comparatives depending on whether the adjective is one syllable, two syllables, or more than two syllables. Some adjectives have irregular comparative forms. Examples are provided to illustrate comparative forms and sentences.
Present progressive
The document summarizes the present progressive tense through examples of what is happening at a party. It provides examples of sentences using the present progressive to describe singing, dancing, and other ongoing actions. It also discusses forming questions in the present progressive and using short answers with contractions.
Like Versus As
The document discusses the difference between the words "like" and "as". It explains that "like" is a preposition followed by nouns, pronouns, or verbs ending in "ing", and is used to indicate similarity. In contrast, "as" is used before a subject and verb to show something is done in a certain way. It can also be used as a preposition followed by nouns to indicate something is being used for a specific purpose.
The possessive apostrophe presentation
The document discusses the two main uses of apostrophes: to form contractions and to show possession. It explains how to form possessive nouns for both singular and plural nouns. For singular nouns, add an apostrophe and s. For plural nouns that end in s, add only an apostrophe. The document also covers forming possessives for compound nouns and provides examples of possessives for different types of nouns.

Should have and should not have
The document discusses the use of the phrases "should have" and "shouldn't have" to talk about past actions. It states that "should have" is used to suggest the best or most correct option in a past situation, while "shouldn't have" refers to an incorrect past action. The structure is subject + "should have/shouldn't have" + past participle verb. Several examples are provided to illustrate the affirmative, negative, and question forms of these phrases. Short answers using "should've" and "shouldn't have" are also mentioned.
Comparisons As ... as
This document discusses comparisons using "as...as" and "not as...as". It explains that "as...as" is used to compare two things that are equal, while "not as...as" compares two things that are not equal. Some examples are provided for each. It also notes that "not quite as" and "not nearly as" can modify "not as...as" comparisons, and "not so...as" is another way to express unequal comparisons, but is less common than "not as...as".
Make or do
The document discusses different ways to translate the verbs "make" and "do" into Italian. It provides 4 cases:
1. "Make" means something is created that didn't exist before. Common phrases include "make coffee" or "make a cake."
2. "Do" is used for activities and tasks. Examples given are "do the shopping" or "do exercises."
3. Other common verbs discussed include "have," "take," and verbs formed from nouns like "analyze."

The passive voice
It's a owerpoint I've prepared for my students to revise the use of the passive voice in English. It's suitable for pre-intermediate.
Do vs. Make
The document discusses the differences between the verbs "do" and "make" in English. "Do" refers to actions and activities, while "make" refers to the result or product of an action. "Do" is used for tasks like homework, chores, or exercise that do not result in a physical object, whereas "make" is used for actions like cooking, crafting, or building that create a tangible item. There are also common expressions that incorporate these verbs, though "make" does not always imply creation in such cases.
Present perfect yet - just - already
The document discusses the use of the words "just", "already", and "yet" to express timing in sentences. It provides examples of how each word is used, such as using "just" for very recent actions, "already" for actions completed before expected, and "yet" for negative statements or questions about expected future actions.
Either Or Neither Nor
This document provides examples of using "both...and", "either...or", and "neither...nor" to combine subjects and verbs in sentences. It explains that with "both...and", the verb is always plural. With "either...or" and "neither...nor", the verb agrees with the subject closer to the verb. Several examples are given to illustrate the correct use of verbs with each structure.
Present perfect vs present perfect continuous
Explanation, practice and links to understand the main difference betweeen present perfect simple and continuous.
Future perfect
The document discusses the future perfect tense and how it is used to talk about actions that will be completed before some point in the future. It explains that the future perfect is formed using will + have + past participle and provides examples. It notes that the future perfect should be used instead of the future simple tense to clarify the sequence of events, and only when mentioning a specific deadline or time in the future.
So Neither
The document discusses the use of "so" and "neither" when agreeing or disagreeing with statements about oneself and others. When agreeing with affirmative statements, "so" is used, such as "John likes tennis, so do I."

The document provides examples of using "so" and "neither" in different grammatical contexts and concludes with a quiz to test comprehension.
Difference between "to make" and "to do"
The document discusses the differences between using "do" and "make" in Spanish. It states that "do" is used more generally for actions and activities that do not result in a physical object, while "make" implies creating something tangible. It provides examples of phrases using both "do" and "make" to illustrate when each is appropriate.
Defining And Non Defining Relative Clauses
The document discusses defining and non-defining relative clauses. Non-defining clauses add extra information and are surrounded by commas. Defining clauses provide essential information to identify the subject and are not surrounded by commas. It provides examples of sentences with defining and non-defining relative clauses and discusses whether object pronouns can be omitted.
The Present Continuous Tense
A presentation on the Present Continuous Tense for students who have already studied it before. It is a quick reminder of the most common uses, its form and some spelling rules.
Prepositions
The document discusses prepositions of location such as under, over, down, and across as well as prepositions of movement like through. It also mentions completing a picture and an extension.
Present Continuous
The document discusses the present continuous tense in English. It is used to describe actions that are happening now or ongoing at the present time. Specifically, the present continuous can express actions occurring right at this moment or actions that are in the process of happening but not necessarily at this exact second, such as longer term activities currently in progress. It provides examples of using the present continuous to talk about what someone is doing now with verbs like "eating", "skiing", or "not dancing", as well as longer term activities like "studying to become a doctor."
Verbal Tenses
The document discusses various verb tenses in English including the present simple, present continuous, past simple, past continuous, present perfect, present perfect continuous, past perfect, past perfect continuous, future simple, future continuous, and future perfect. It provides rules and examples for forming verbs in each tense and discusses the typical uses of each tense.
Phrasal verbs
A phrasal verb is a verb combined with a preposition or adverb that creates a new meaning different from the original verb. Phrasal verbs can be transitive, taking a direct object, or intransitive, not taking a direct object. Examples of intransitive phrasal verbs include "grew up", "will talk", and "jumping". Examples of transitive phrasal verbs include "came across" and "set up". Phrasal verbs can also be separable or inseparable, affecting the placement of the object.

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
