Hi dear Jhon Jairo:


Please take into account the conjugations of the verb for a third person in the present tense,
besides using an instead of a because oil starts with a vowel:
- My wife have (has) to work in a (an) oil company too.
- My son need (needs) to play all the time.

9. I was building an electronic device for my laboratory yesterday
10. I was waiting for the delivery man with my lunch yesterday

Dear John Jairo,


I understand that we must write about our own experiences from yesterday, so maybe it could
be a good idea to change the pronoun in some sentences for "I"

Example:
He (I) was eating Mexican food
On the other hand, I understand that past progressive requires the verb to be in past and the
principal verb ending with "ing", then I think that these two sentences could be wrong:
He was not dead, he was of partying
He was not deading, he was in a party
My wife was bad mood, because I had a friend in the apartment
My wife was in a bad mood; because I was sharing a beer with a friend in the apartment

Part 3: Write your own text about the activities you were doing last
Sunday and send it in the forum.

What happened yesterday?

Sunday morning, I can get up late, however, yesterday was an


exception, I was waking up around 8 am when my cat jumped to my
bed and I get up to feed him. After that, I thought that I could take a
shower if I finally fixed some things at home. While I was fixing the
bathroom I remembered that I needed to fix the laundry machine as
well.
After I done all that mentioned above, in the afternoon, I was waiting
for the delivery man with my lunch when I realized that I had to cancel
the delivery because I did not money. At the end, I was cooking potatoes
and meat since it is easy and quick to cook and I had to visit my siblings.
While I was having lunch I remembered that I had better wash my
motorcycle or I had to wait until next Sunday because this week is going
to be so hard.
At night, I was sharing time with my siblings when my girlfriend
arrived to the airport and asked me if I may pick her up. While I was
driving my motorcycle I police man stopped me and asked me for
papers that I ought to carry with me. Fortunately, I could show them
to him and continued my way to the airport. Finally, I went to bed and
rested a lot!

Hi dear John, what a such busy day you had last October seventh, thanks gad you found and
could resolve the problem at your oil company. Hopefully, you have rested a little more
yesterday.
On the other hand, let me point out some things that I think could be sound better in other
way:
In the moorning I´m waking up at 5:00 am, while all the people was sleep. I was going to
my job at 6:00 am. I have to work all the days, because Im working in a oil field. I was eating
breakfast, when my boss were calling me, I had to go to take samples. I was analyzing oil
and wáter samples at 10:00 am.
In the afternoon, I was eating lunch at 1:00 pm. Then, I was taking a rest after the lunch,
when the process have a problem. I must to run when the process fail. I was checking the
process, while my partners were checking the pumps. We were seeing the problem was a
pump.
At night, I was going to my house in Villanueva, Casanare, at 7:00 pm. I was eating dinner,
while I was watching news in the tv. Then, I was taking a shower, at 08:00 pm. I was studying,
when my eyes was closing, because, I was very tired. I was sleeping at 11:00 pm.
Morning, I was, I’m, an, as, warer, had, to, failed, were.
