*TIME CHANGE*

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.

Pancake Day is coming soon. We will celebrate by cooking a huge stack of pancakes. Some people may go out to eat, but we think the ones made at home taste best. Tradition calls for using lemon juice and sugar on top of the pancakes, but we'll add whatever we have available. The idea is to use up lots of good, rich ingredients before the start of Lent.

Pancake day had already came and went. We celebrated by cooking a huge stack of pancakes. Some people went out to eat, but we thought the ones we made at home taste best. Tradition called for using lemon juice and sugar on top of the pancakes, but we had added whatever we had available. The idea was to use up lots of good, rich ingredients before the start of lent.

Well done, WN155.

Good try, Logan. But if you use you past perfect ("had..."), you need the participle ("gone" rather than "went"). Also, even if you choose past tense, certain elements should remain in the present tense; for instance, when speaking of a tradition that is still practiced, you should use the present tense: "Tradition calls for using [x], but we had added [y]".
