2. Which two liquids are compared?
3. Why does the adjective take an -er ending?
4. Now compare the two liquids by using this synonym: solid. Take into account that this adjective doesn't take the -er ending.
5. A question about the faith in humankind. How do you know it's in the present simple?
6. A question that suggests that a girl does not trust in love. What's the tense of the sentence?
7. Find where it is said that a helping hand will be given with no conditions when necessary.
8. Find a sentence in the 1st conditional. 
9. Find the powerful metaphor dealing with the sky.
10. Consider the context where the terms "brother" and "sister" appear. Can you find a sole synonym for both of them?
