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



Last Halloween, we went trick-or-treating with the neighbours and their young children. At first, the little ones didn’t know what to make of the activity, but by the time we reached the third house on our route, they had it all figured out. The tiny ghosts and goblins ran up to the house before all of the bigger kids and excitedly rang the doorbell.

On Halloween, we will go trick-or-treating with the neighbours and their young children. The little ones might not know what to make of the activity, but by the time we reach the third house on our route, they will have it all figured out. The tiny ghosts and goblins will run up to the house before all of the bigger kids and will excitedly ring the doorbell.

Next Halloween, we will be going trick-or-treating with the neighbours and their young children. At first, the little ones won't know what to make of the activity, but by the time we will have reached the third house on our route, they will have it all figured out. The tiny ghosts and goblins will have to run up to the house before all of the bigger kids and will have to excitedly ring the doorbell.

Well done, Henry!

Good try, Janet and Arzoo. But if you want to use the future perfect tense, you should use a time clue like "By the end of Halloween" or "After Halloween" and then apply the tense consistently:
