PET WRITING PRACTICE

WRITE AN EMAIL AND A STORY PLEASE

Subject: Olivia’s party

Hello Jane,

I’m writing because, as you know, Olivia is leaving our school and moving to Canada. I thought we could organize a surprise party for her. Do you think it’s a good idea? (Great Idea!)

If so, can you think of a good place to have the party? (Suggest …)

Would it be best to have it on a weekday or at the weekend? (Answer…Why?)

Also, I’m thinking of hiring a DJ for the party. Do you know what sort of music Olivia likes best? (Answer)

Email me soon!
Nina

PAST CONTINUOUS: What Were You Doing When…?

PAST VERB TO BE GAME 1

TO BE GOING TO GAME 2

Past continuous positive form

To form the past continuous, we use the was / were form of the verb "to be" plus the infinitive of the verb plus an -ing ending.

Examples:

She was going to school but I notices that it was Sunday.
They were reading bedtime stories for hours last night so I was very tired in the morning.

Past continuous negative form

To make an affirmative (positive) statement negative, add "not" before the verb + -ing. You can also use a contraction (wasn't / weren't). We use contractions frequently in spoken English.

Examples:

I was not going to bed. / I wasn't going to bed because it was not the time.
You were not doing your homework but your mum told you to do it.
They were not playing football this week but finally they played.
They were not studying English during vacation but Miss Esther sent an email with homework.

Questions that can be answered with "yes" or "no" answers are formed by inverting the subject and correct form of the verb "be" (was / were). (Inverting means we change the order of the subject and verb form:)

Affirmative statement: I was sleeping. (the subject "I" is first, then the verb form "was")

Examples:
