English Writing Exercise Describe People
Instructions:
Using the vocabulary words from this lesson, describe what six people (a man and a woman, he and she, you and I) are doing at this moment and what they did some time ago. Ex: The woman is opening the door. The woman opened the door an hour ago.
My wife is cooking dinner now. I am writing a postcard to my friend, Antonio. She is sleeping in the bedroom now. You took that book two hours ago from the library. He is answering now. That man watched TV an hour ago, but now he's resting.
There are some words in english which cannot be changed into past by adding an -ed as a suffix
for ex. fight becomes fought not fighted
think becomes thought not thinked
hit remains the same hit doesnt become hitted
Also when joining two related sentences it is better to use a conjunction like 'but', 'and', etc.
while speaking it doesnt matter that much but when writing it looks really bad
Very good! Only one grammar mistake:
taked --> took
>You took that book two hours ago from the library.
The exercise asks you to write two sentences for each person:
[What the person is doing now] + [What the person did before]
So this is even better:
>You took that book two hours ago from the library. Now you are reading it.
Good work!
