decompositions for exceptional Lie algebras $E_6$, $E_7$ and $E_8$

Do anybody know , why can we write the following decompositions for exceptional Lie algebras $E_6$, $E_7$ and $E_8$

  1. $E_8=(V^{\star}\otimes \wedge^{8}V^{\star})\bigoplus \wedge^{6}V^{\star}\bigoplus \wedge^{3} V^{\star} \bigoplus \mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}(V)\bigoplus \wedge^{3} V\bigoplus \wedge^{6} V \bigoplus(V\otimes \wedge^{8}V)$, here $dimV=8$

  2. $E_7= \wedge^{6}V^{\star}\bigoplus \wedge^{3} V^{\star} \bigoplus \mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}(V)\bigoplus \wedge^{3} V\bigoplus \wedge^{6} V $,here $dimV=7$

  3. $E_6= \wedge^{6}V^{\star}\bigoplus \wedge^{3} V^{\star} \bigoplus \mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}(V)\bigoplus \wedge^{3} V\bigoplus \wedge^{6} V $,here $dimV=6$
