FURTHER PRACTICE

1. Write about your last holiday. Describe what you did during that time. Make
sure you use regular and irregular verbs properly.

My last vacation with my family was in Carmen de Apicala, in a very nice and big
house. He had a pool, when we got there we unpacked our bags and then we got
in the pool. In the house there was a cat that we took care of during the time we
were in the house, after that we went to Melgar we toured the town and I met
several places like the main square and we ate ice cream. The next day we went to
Girardot where we ate cholao and played in the main square all afternoon. Then
we returned to the house that was in Carmen of Apicala and spent it in the pool
playing volleyball. It was a very pleasant family vacation.

2. Find the past tense form of the following verbs and write a sentence per each
one:
a. Think
b. Drink
c. Leave
d. Wake up

A. Thought
Planning the trip is more work than thought.

B. Drank

C. Left

D. Woken up.

well.

3. Describe a part of a movie you watched. Use regular and irregular verbs
correctly.

The film that I saw and liked was the one about the avengers, this film really caught
my eye on the subject of technology, as the Iron Man character puts all the pieces
in order to make his suit. And I like it when all your friends who are also heroes get
together. I liked how they do the effects to make the film look very realistic, what I
didn’t like is that they cut important scenes. Since I really liked the movie I didn’t fall
asleep in the movies, because when I watch regular movies I get sleepy and fall
asleep. I like how they speak in the film because they use a very technical and very
futuristic language. I think films like this leave us with an excellent message, which we
must heed and put into practice. Which is to value everything around us and take
great care of it.
