    Today is a St.Nicolas day

    Today is very happy day for me as for many Ukrainian kids.

    It's St. Nikolas day.

    Many children woke up and saw some presents under their pillows in this morning.

     

    All Ukrainian kids wanted to fall asleep faster last night that to woke up earlier. 

     

    Of course, some kids guess who put these presents.

     

    Parents would like to stay incognito, but it doesn't happen.

     

    Therefore many children know that their parents execute a role of St.Nikolas.

     

    I'll say bigger, haha.

     

    I am not a child, but I got many gifts too.

    Because we present gifts no only kids. We make presents everyone in this day which we love and respect. So I'm happy today))

    "Why not let her alone, old sport?" remarked Gatsby. "You're the one that wanted to come to town." Gatsby says this to an acquaintance of his. To "let her alone" or to "leave her alone" have the same meaning.

    In Italian you use either the formal or informal usage. If you know the person well like a close friend or relative you would say: Come stai? If you are not sure you know them well enough, or they are older use the formal as you did, Come sta? It's always a question of familiarity. Hope this helps.

    One way of looking at it is that someone actually had a pencil, chalk, pen or other instrument to make a representation of this man's face. Hence, his face was drawn, past of the verb to draw. So you are looking at a picture of a person who was created by another hand. The curtains on the other hand were not created by pencil or pen but were actually in the picture as they would be if you were to walk into the room. So, the curtains were hanging over a window but the image of the face was on a surface like paper or canvas.

    In English it is a scythe, and in Italian it is a "falce", the verb is "falciare".

    First and foremost must be Adriano Celintano. The way he uses language and movement is above all others. I also like Eros Ramazotti and Andrea Bocelli for contempory lyrics.

    I have yet to teach a Chinese student via Skype. I have taught many person to person and find them extremely respectful, polite and intelligent. My teaching colleagues share this view as well.

    The previous three explanations are excellent examples of how to use and differentiate "been" and "gone". What more is there to add?

    This is a very good question. We use had blown when you want to show a difference in relative time from one happening to another. As in, "We had been moved in only a week before the house burnt down." But in your sentence, you were in the dark as soon as the candle was blown out. You could even say, We were in the dark when the candle blew out. Notice you have to use the phrasal verb 'to blow out' in this sentence, So all said, "We were completely in the dark after the wind blew the candle out".
