  Starting from the eleven dimensional E_{11} non-linear realisation of
M-theory we compute all possible forms, that is objects with totally
antisymmetrised indices, that occur in four dimensions and above as well as all
the 1-forms and 2-forms in three dimensions. In any dimension D, the D-1-forms
lead to maximal supergravity theories with cosmological constants and they are
in precise agreement with the patterns of gauging found in any dimension using
supersymmetry. The D-forms correspond to the presence of space-filling branes
which are crucial for the consistency of orientifold models and have not been
derived from an alternative approach, with the exception of the 10-dimensional
case. It follows that the gaugings of supergravities and the spacetime-filling
branes possess an eleven dimensional origin within the E_{11} formulation of
M-theory. This and previous results very strongly suggest that all the fields
in the adjoint representation of E_{11} have a physical interpretation.
