THE PAST PERFECT AND THE PASSIVE VOICE

PAST PERFECT. GAME.

Tell your classmate about a curious thing that happened to you-you can make it up.

Your mate has to copy the story on a piece of paper and try to tell the story in a different order, using the past perfect tense as in the example:

EXAMPLE:

One day I opened my flat's door and I  found a dog inside. The dog attacked me and I ran away. I asked for help but everybody on the street thought I was crazy and the dog was mine. I came across a friend of mine and he accompanied me to a police station, where they said there was nothing they could do for me.

I had asked for help but everybody on the street had thought I was crazy. A dog had attacked me and I  had run away. I had found this dog as I had opened my flat's door, that same day.


Read the story to the class and ask them to order all the events.
