Stories about the past need to use the past tense!

"Marie she was 13 years old." -> Marie was... or She was...

She had some cake ON her birthday.
("on" because it's a specific day, like "on Wednesday")

***DO NOT USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE TO WRITE YOUR PAPERS***

When we have a negative sentence, we often have two choices:
I can say "not" with an "any-" word, or I can say a "no-" word.

She did NOT know ANYBODY at the party.
She knew NOBODY at the party.
* She did NOT know NOBODY at the party. (wrong - double negative)

She did not ever go to parties.
She never went to parties.
*She did not never go to parties. ("not" + "no-" = double negative)

anywhere	nowhere		somewhere	everywhere
anyone		no one		someone		everyone
anybody		nobody		somebody	everybody
anything	nothing		something	everything
ever		never		sometimes	always
either		neither		either		both
any		no		some		every
