You had an appointment with me yesterday after class. You didn't come
because something happened which prevented you from coming. What
happened? Be CREATIVE. Extra points if you make me laugh. Use the past perfect.
Holly I'm sorry so much. I couldn't go to our meeting because I had been busy repairing my kitchen plumbing. My home almost flood... So, may I get a new appointment? I really need to talk.
I had been sleeping before that appointment .. so by the time I dreamt like I were with you but when I woke up I realized that appointment had already gone
I did not forget it but while I was coming to you, my wife called me and she was so angry because I had forgotten our shopping day, I immediately ran to my car and I had fallen several times before I reached it. the worse was, I had received two speed tickets before I arrived my house. so please excuse me Ms. Cin I had a trouble day.
First sentence: good! Second sentence: You immediately ran to your car, BUT you had fallen several times... GOOD Third sentence: You had received two speeding tickets BY THE TIME you arrived home.
An angry wife and two speeding tickets? I have to agree that you had a bad day, so I will forgive you ;)
Hello lovely holly,, I was getting ready to meet you,my sister mopped the restroom floor,i hadn't known that as soon as i touched the wet floor, i had slipped on my butt and i said AWWWWW!!!!!.I couldn't even move that was really hurts,I'm sure that you know the feel how looks like.
So while you were getting ready to meet me, your sister was mopping the restroom floor, but you didn't know that until you actually slipped on your butt.
Yes, I know how that feels. I had a similar situation the week before on a boat in Austin.
Holly, I am sorry about yesterday absent. I had had to absent yesterday. As you know that, yesterday had flood In Houston. Basically, my house had flooded, and suddenly, airplane dropped to my house from the sky. I think it crashed because of thunder. Now I have nothing. So I had to absent class yesterday. I am sorry.
I had forgotten the appointment after i finished my class. I had stayed in the library studying and reviewing my subject the whole afternoon.
ReplyDeleteSentence is unclear. Perhaps you had forgotten the appointment BEFORE you finished the class? The past perfect event happened FIRST.
DeletePlease try again!

ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry to hear that your home nearly flooded, but I"m glad that you're okay. We'll reschedule for next week.

ReplyDeleteYou were sleeping before the appointment (you don't need to use the past perfect when the time relationship is clear).
DeleteWhen you woke up, you realized that you had missed the appointment. Correct.
I had been dancing on your song about absence.
ReplyDeleteYou had been dancing to my song, when SOMETHING PREVENTED YOU FROM COMING TO THE MEETING. Perhaps the power went out at your home and you got scared?
