*TIME CHANGE*

Change the time in the following sentences using a different verb tense and replacing and necessary time clues. Each student should choose a different verb tense.

My parents will arrive for a visit tomorrow. I am concerned that they could feel crowded in my small apartment and wish that they had gone to a hotel instead.

Good try, krisla. But I wouldn't use the past perfect there at the beginning (and watch out for the comma splice). Consider:

My parents arrived for a visit yesterday. I was concerned that they would feel crowded in my small apartment and wished that they had gone to a hotel instead.

Good try, restless. But watch out for the past participle -- it should be "am concerned" not "am concern" (but that may just have been a typo).

Thanks Michael, it was not a typo.
