Trang 5EXERCISE 21 Past time (Chapter 2)
Directions: Write a story that begins "Once upon a time, ."
Choose one:
1 Invent your own story For example, write about a lonely bee who finds happiness,
a poor orphan who succeeds in life with the help of a fairy godmother, a hermit who
rediscovers the joys of human companionship, etc Discuss possible story ideas in class
2 Write a fable that you are familiar with, perhaps one that is well known in your
culture
3 Write a story with your classmates Each student writes one or two sentences at a time One student begins the story Then he or she passes the paper on to another
student, who then writes a sentence or two and passes the paper on-until everyone in the class has had a chance to write part of the story, or until the story has an ending This story can then be reproduced for the class to revise and correct together T h e class may want to "publish" the final product on the Internet or in a small booklet

(9 When the phone rang, I answered it
-
(i) Whiie I was doing my homework, my
roommate was wutchingTV
Afrer Ifinished my work = a time clause*
I went w bed = a main clause*
(a) and @) have the same meaning
A time clause can
(1) come in •’rant of a main dause, as in (a)
(2) follow a main clause, as in (b)
These words introduce time dauses:
-+ &
until befm
1 + :bject and werb = a time clause
as soon as while when
In (e): u n d = "to that time and then no longer"**
In (f): as soon as = "immediately after"
PUNCTUATION: Put a comma at the end of a time clause when the time dause comes first in a sentence (comes in front of the main clause):
time clause + comma + main clause main clause + NO comma + time clause
In a sentence with a time clause inuoduced by when, both the time clause verb and the main verb can be simple past In this case, the action in the when- clause happened first In (i): Firsc The phone mng
Then: I answered it
In (i): When two actions are in progress at the same time, the past progressive can be used in both parts
of the sentence
