Hello guys. Happy Friday. How is everyone doing? Long time!! Have a good day. :)

Don't say "In a bad condition" but say "In bad condition".

Pacify (1) To soothe anger or agitation. (2) To subdue by armed action.
• It took the police hours to pacify the angry demonstrators.

Someone stirred up by a strong emotion can usually be pacified by some kind words and the removal of its causes. Unhappy babies are often given a rubber pacifier for sucking to make them stop crying. During the Vietnam War, pacification of an area meant using armed force to drive out the enemy, which might be followed by bringing the local people over to our side by building schools and providing social services. But an army can often bring “peace” by pure force, without soothing anyone's emotions

Other ways to say "It is easy".

“So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!”

― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan: Fairy Tales

Ing form as gerund and present participle

The –ing form of the verb can be the present participle or the gerund.

When the –ing form is used as a present participle, it helps make continuous tense forms. Study the examples given below:

I am writing an email. (Here the present participle ‘writing’ helps form the present continuous tense verb ‘am writing’.)
They are playing. (Here the present participle ‘playing’ helps form the present continuous verb ‘are playing’.)
We have been waiting for them. (Here the present participle ‘waiting’ helps form the present perfect continuous tense form ‘have been waiting’.)
The present participle can also be used as an adjective. In this case, it goes before nouns.

A rolling stone gathers no moss. (Here the present participle ‘rolling’ modifies the noun ‘stone’.)
Barking dogs seldom bite. (Here the present participle ‘barking’ modifies the noun ‘dogs’.)
When the –ing form is used as a gerund, it serves the same purpose as a noun. That means, it can be used as the subject or object of the verb. It can also be used as the object of prepositions. Study the examples given below.

Reading is my favorite pastime. (Here the –ing form ‘reading’ acts as the subject of the verb ‘is’.)
She enjoys dancing. (Here the –ing form ‘dancing’ acts as the object of the verb ‘enjoys’.)
There is no point in waiting for her. (Here the –ing form ‘waiting’ acts as the object of the preposition ‘in’.)

RELATIVE CLAUSES

Relative clauses are non-essential parts of a sentence. They may add meaning, but if they are removed, the sentence will still function grammatically. There are two broad types of relative clauses in English. It is important to distinguish between them because it affects the choice of pronoun used to introduce the clause. There is a more detailed page about preposition placement in relative clauses.

DEFINING CLAUSES

A defining or identifying clause tells us which specific person or thing we are talking about in a larger group of people or things. If a defining relative clause is removed, the meaning of the sentence changes significantly. A defining relative clause is not separated from the rest of the sentence by commas or parentheses.

EXAMPLES

The woman who visited me in the hospital was very kind.

The umbrella that I bought last week is already broken.

The man who stole my backpack has been arrested.

The weather that we had this summer was beautiful.

NON-DEFINING CLAUSES
A non-defining or non-essential clause gives us more information about the person or thing we are talking about. If a non-defining relative clause is removed from a sentence, we lose some detail, but the overall meaning of the sentence remains the same. Non-defining relative clauses are always set off from the rest of the sentence with commas or parentheses.

EXAMPLES

The farmer, whose name was Fred, sold us 10 pounds of potatoes.

Elephants, which are the largest land mammals, live in herds of 10 or more adults.

The author, who graduated from the same university I did, gave a wonderful presentation.

My mother, who is 86, lives in Paris.
