Past Tense Discussion

Now that you know more about the simple and continuous aspects of past tense, you can use it more confidently to express your ideas in English.

For this discussion, write about ten sentences about something you did last week. This can be an event you attended or something unusual that is not part of your normal routine. When you write your sentences, use the simple past or continuous tense, as needed, and time expressions.

Share your answer and read your classmates' stories. If you wish, reply to your classmates to ask them a question about the stories they shared.

Example:

Last week I went on vacation with my family. We woke up very early to get started. We got on a train and traveled for six hours. When we finally arrived at our hotel, the receptionist was locking the doors. We were shocked! Everything turned out okay, and we checked in successfully. My sister and I strolled every morning while we were there. My parents usually just had breakfast in the room. In the afternoons, we all visited museums and explored the local markets. In the evenings, we spent time together in a park.

Reminder: Before you post your paragraph, check to see if you used the past tense correctly and time expressions.
