Are you sure? No, but they say it could have been due to a frog. When we are not sure of something, we speculate and if it is of something in the past we have to use the Perfect Infinitive.

Have you heard about Alexei Navalny? It’s crazy. The news says he could have been poisoned with dart frog toxin.
ResponderEliminarI think it's wild how we use the Perfect Infinitive to talk about things we aren't sure of in the past. Some experts say the poison must have been lab-made because it’s not common. Even if we don’t know the full story, these expressions help us speculate. What do you think happened?

ResponderEliminarhave you ever listened about Young People’s Forest? It’s a campaing that is planing to establish a new forest in Derbyshire in the Midlans of England. They will plant over 250.000 trees. It will also add ponds, wetlands and grasslands to recreate different natural habitats. This will ensure that all kinds of local wildlife have a new home.

In my opinion, the most danerous natural disaster is the earthquake, beacuse this have caused millions of destructions in many cities. The most dangerous was in 1960, in Valdivia, Chile. This caused the death of like 6000 persons and it destruyed lots of cities near here. The rate of this earthquake was 9.5, knowing the highest is 10, this was one of the worst natural disaster that happened in the world and I hope this doesn’t happend again. The second one from my point of view is the hurricane. The most danerous one was in 1970, in Banladesh. This storm caused many destructions in the cities of here. It long was like 2000 kilometers long, the longest hurricane ever.
