Homework: 1-2 test

When I bought my new computer, I had had the old one for five years.

James, while John had had “had had”, had had “had”. “Had had” had had the teacher’s approval.
James, while John had written in past perfect, had written in simple past. Past perfect had been correct.

I know (that) that had had John’s name in it.

part 4 - is this information true or false about the listenings?

---
p. 35 part 6 - What two tenses are used in these sentences?
simple past: jumped, realized, came, was (missing is an adjective)
past continuous: were going, was shining

past continuous = we were in the middle of one action when something else happened
---
Simple past, past continuous, and past perfect:

At 7, I ate dinner. = I started dinner at 7.
At 7, I was eating dinner. = I started before 7 and finished after 7. (I was in the middle of dinner at 7.)
At 7, I had eaten dinner. = I started and finished dinner before 7.

I went to the hospital when I broke my leg. = I broke my leg and then (as a result) I went to the hospital.

I was going to the hospital when I broke my leg. = I was on my way to the hospital (for some other reason) and then I broke my leg.
= I broke my leg while I was going to the hospital. (“while” goes with actions that continue for some time)

p. 36 - What do you know about the Titanic? (the ship, not the movie)
Where was this picture taken?
part 1 - read the article, then decide which questions go with each paragraph
Instead, they’d turned it into a freak show. - “they’d” = “they had”
1 b (“come about” = “happen”)
2 a
3 d
---
Past Perfect = had + past participle
= Something happened before a specific time in the past.

In the third paragraph, when did the things in the past perfect happen?
“A private salvage company had removed objects.”
“A Russian submarine had taken James Cameron to the wreck.”
“A New York couple had even gotten married.”
- These things happened between 1985 and 2004.

Since 1985, they had turned it into a freak show. (We can use “for” and “since” the same way as with present perfect.)
---
What events happened in 2004?
“I saw champagne bottles.” “My eye was drawn to a woman’s shoe.” “I saw a pair of smaller shoes.” “I felt that the people who had died were speaking to me again.” “I knew that…”

Would you like to live in a house or city underwater? What would be some problems if you lived there?
