  -The rainforest, on a hot afternoon. p. 1 This is not a complete sentence as it has no verb. (It does not have a verb.) It is written this way so you will imagine the scene - like in a movie. -A few minutes have passed , and the snake in the rainforest has eaten the frog. p. 2 The past participle  is used here to continue the felling that you are there.   For most verbs, the past participle is  formed by adding -ed or -d to the end of the root form of the verb . For example, the past participle of jump is jumped and the past participle of excite is excited. -colours p. 7 the British spelling of colors   - ... animals slowly change, to survive better. (sic) p. 11 There is no need for a comma.

The Last Sherlock Holmes Story by Michael Dibdin

  This is a  clever and  gruesome story that combines fact and fiction.   Arthur Conan Doyle , one of my favorite authors, and  Jack the Ripper , a notorious 19th century serial killer, are real people.   Sherlock Holmes ,  Dr. John H. Watson  and   Inspector Lestrade  are fictional characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
