TUESDAY 12 JULY

We started with a listening exercise, exercise 1 on Page 20 and exercise 2 on Page 21 of PET Result.  Listening can be difficult, but when doing an exercixe you can predict what you will hear by reading the questions and thinking of synonyms or similar ways of sayig the same thing. 

When talking about the past, as well as the past simple you can use the past continuous and the past perfect to add different levels to your story.

There are some exercises on these tenses on Page 21

You can read about these tenses here

and try the exercises on narrative tenses here

Two ways to understand these tenses better are 
1) reading and
2) using them to talk about your life or experience

Think of  year in the past, for example, 2005, and answer these questions thinking about your situation at the time.
