You could also be interested in: This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned: said: Nice review of the past tenses. However, I found question #7 to be a little confusing because of the presence of the time clause \"When I arrived\" (which should be followed by a comma to use correct punctuation). Because there are two actions, it leads one to think (rightly) that one action occurred before the other. In this case, \"I arrived\" first, and then \"he began to cook.\" But I can see someone mistakenly entering #4 as the answer. It's only when you remember that you must enter...  [Read more]
