Our Tuesday lesson was about artists and authors. At the beginning of the lesson students read homework. A part of it were sentences about things they were allowed or not allowed to do when they were in school.

Remember this is a passive construction and is followed by an infinitive:

I was not allowed  to exchange clothes with my classmates.

We were allowed to sit anywhere we wanted.

This time we read a short biography of Ernest Hemingway, a very famous American author who made the San Fermines in Pamplona a worldwide known celebration. Words that we learned from this text are: shotgun, hunt, eyesight, wounded, plane crash.

Remember the Past tenses we are studying:

Past Simple:
Affirmative: I wrote        Questions: did you write? ( You must always use the auxiliary did,whatever the beginning of the question. The only exception is when the question starts with Whoand Who is the subject of the question: Who wrote that book?
Negative: I didn´t write.

Past Continuous: (The auxiliary verb is the past of the verb to be: was/were)
Affirmative: I was reading (The auxiliary verb is the past of the verb to be: was/were
 Questions: Were you reading?
Negative: I wasn´t reading.

Past Perfect (The auxiliary verb is the past of the verb to have)
Affirmative: I had already read the book when I watched  the film.
Questions: Had you already seen the film?
