Review your paragraph.

Which is your grabber?

Which is your topic sentence?

What is your first point?

What is your second point?

What is your third point?

What is your concluding sentence?

 

 

authentic English – English that a native-speaker would use

Her customers would remember home-cooked meals with their families. active voice

Her customers would be reminded of home-cooked meals with their families. passive voice

Three forms of a verb:

BASE                     PAST                     PARTICIPLE
tell                         told                       told

put                        put                        put

drive                      drove                    driven

eat                         ate                         eaten

write                     wrote                    written

 

The customers ate Maylin’s food and were happy. After the food had been eaten, they felt nostaligic and homesick.

 

had been eaten – passive voice, past perfect

 

passive future perfect continuous

SECRET- English speakers don’t use future perfect. We don;t even past perfect usually. We only really use present perfect.
