+JavaScript is single-threaded but it can still take advantage of asynchronous
+programming.
+
+The Event Loop is a Javascript construct responsible
+for holding operations to be executed asynchronously with respect to the main
+flow of execution. Whenever we meet a portion of code that may not be 
+possible to execute now, it is put in the Event Loop. Let's look at some
+examples:
+
+1. ```javascript
+  setTimeout(() => console.log('test'), 1000);
+  ```
+`console.log('test')` will be put in the Event Loop.
+
+2. ```javascript
+  const promise = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
+  console.log('test');
+  resolve();
+}).then(() => {
+  console.log('test2');
+});
+```
+`console.log('test2')` will be put in the Event Loop.
