Reading passage: Pastoralism in Ancient Inner Eurasia

Par Unknown
Directions:  Read the passage. Then answer the questions. Give yourself 20 minutes to complete this practice set. Pastoralism in Ancient Inner Eurasia Pastoralism is a lifestyle in which economic activity is based primarily on livestock. Archaeological evidence suggests that by 3,000 B.C., and perhaps even earlier, there had emerged on the steppes of Inner Eurasia the distinctive types of pastoralism that were to dominate the region’s history for several millennia. Here, the horse was already becoming the animal of prestige in many regions, though sheep, goats, and cattle could also play a vital role.

English Verbs and How to Use Them

English verbs can express an action (run, bring, come, look, give, get, etc.) or a state of being (be, seem, appear, need.) Verbs are simpler in English than in many languages. Most have only two forms in the present tense and one form in other tenses. In the present tense we use the base form for I, you, and all plurals. For third person singular (he, she, it, Jack, Mrs. Smith, a tree, the city, etc.) we add an '-s' or sometimes '-es' to the end of the base form.  The verb 'to be' is an exception.

For more on using modals and other helping verbs, see the Helping Verbs section below. Types of Verbs: Transitive & Intransitive Some verbs are transitive, which means they can take a direct object: (“She buys  groceries .” I’m bringing a  friend .” “Do you w...
