A.J Raffles

Sherlock Holmes

DESCRIBE THE TWO HEROES

A. J. Raffles is wearing a black top hat, a black coat and white gloves. He has white hair and a long pointy nose. He has a cane. In the background there is a grave, maybe he is in a cemetary ? He is smoking a cigarette and he seems very mysterious, maybe he killed someone ?

Sherlock Holmes has a deerstalker (= his hat) and a green cape (= his coat). He has a scarf too. He is smoking the pipe and thinking about something. He looks very concentrated and serious. He is probably working on a case.

Le passé progressif, qu'est-ce que c'est ?

Le passé progressif (BE + v-ing au preterit) permet d'exprimer une action qui était en train de se passer. Il est utilisé pour planter le décor avec une action longue qui est souvent interrompue par une action ponctuelle. Sa structure est toujours la même : sujet + BE (au prétérit) + base verbale-ing + complément ex : The thief was stealing jewels when suddenly, the police arrived.

Selina Kyle, commonly known as Catwoman, is a fictional character who was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane and appears in American comic books that were published by DC Comics, commonly in association with the superhero Batman.She is a Gotham City burglar who usually wears a tight, black, one-piece outfit and uses a bullwhip for a weapon. She loves stealing diamonds because they're small, shiny, and very expensive. She steals to provide for the poor and helpless and to stand up against rich and powerful people. She is also attracted to anything related to cats since she is obsessed with these animals. In the film "Batman Returns" (1992, Tim Burton), Selina Kyle was a suffering secretary of a corrupt and powerful man, Max Shreck. When she discovered that Max Shreck wanted to steal Gotham's electricity, she was pushed out the window of his office. She was knocked unconscious after the fall but she was revived by cats. She became Catwoman and tried to take her revenge on her former boss, Max Shreck.
