My two friends Jose and Sebastian wants to learn how to play "age of empires". Let's start by choose which of the 3 games wants to play, may be with "age of empires, conquerors" or the second one "age of empires of england" and the last one "age of empires, the age of discovery". They are very anxious and that is the reason to start with the last one, I suggest the first one because is more simple, but they didn't listen to me. Then I explain, before you begin, you should choose one country, to be represented in the war, after that, you have to create a "home" where the locals can to live and carry the meals and supplies, the next step is to gather some money, meals, stone and wood to start to create a military barracks, of differents military groups. Once you've done that, then you can to explore the map and find other villages and conquer it. When you finish that, then you win the game, but be careful with your town, don't forget it,"not neglect".

PREPOSITIONS
Prepositions are short words (on, in, to) that usually stand in front of nouns (sometimes also in front of gerund verbs). Even advanced learners of English find prepositions difficult, as a 1:1 translation is usually not possible. One preposition in your native language might have several translations depending on the situation. The following table contains rules for some of the most frequently used prepositions in English:
Use a period [ . ] at the end of a sentence that makes a statement. There is no space between the last letter and the period. Use one space between the period and the first letter of the next sentence. This goes against the grain for people using the typography instilled by generations of old-fashioned typewriter users, but modern word-processors nicely accommodate the spacing after a period, and double-spacing after a period can only serve to discombobulate the good intentions of one's software. Use a period at the end of a command. Hand in the poster essays no later than noon on Friday. In case of tremors, leave the building immediately. Use a period at the end of an indirect question.
The teacher asked why Maria had left out the easy exercises. My father used to wonder why Egbert's ears were so big. Use a period with abbreviations: Dr. Espinoza arrived from Washington, D.C., at 6 p.m. Notice that when the period ending the abbreviation comes at the end of a sentence, it will also suffice to end the sentence. On the other hand, when an abbreviation ends a question or exclamation, it is appropriate to add a question mark or exclamation mark after the abbreviation-ending period: Did you enjoy living in Washington, D.C.? Occasionally, a statement will end with a question. When that happens, it is appropriate to end the sentence with a question mark. We can get to Boston quicker, can't we, if we take the interstate? His question was, can we end this statement with a question mark? She ended her remarks with a resounding why not?
