10b The verbs in brackets were put into the past simple or past continuous. 1 An event occurred in June 1985. It was summer and there was an event that happened in June 1985. All of us were lying in the garden. While my mother was reading, my uncle was just dozing in the sun. We were looking for worms and insects. And then he arrived. He was a tall, handsome man with piercing blue eyes and he was looking straight at my mother. Her face turned pale and her eyes opened wide with shock. My mother thought you were dead; she said in a kind of whisper. 2 Someone called you at about 9 o’clock this morning but you didn’t answer. What were you doing? B: Well, I heard the phone but I was having a shower and I couldn’t get out in time to answer. A: Well, last night I cleared out that old desk you gave me and I found a pile of old letters with a red ribbon round them. B: My letters? A: Yes, they were addressed to you. And they all smelled of perfume, a man’s perfume. 3 Last night Jake woke up at about 3 a.m. As soon as he woke up, he listened out for strange noises but he didn’t hear any. His father was snoring in the next room, some central heating pipes were making a bit of a noise and a tap in the bathroom was dripping. It was all as usual. Jake opened the window and looked outside. The moon was shining brightly. Jake saw an owl in one of the trees and he thought he could certainly hear one. But then he saw something different. It was a man — no, it might have been a woman. She was hiding behind a tree and she suddenly ran towards the house.
