    The story is told using the past perfect tense. It summarizes a terrible day the narrator had where things started badly and got worse. They woke up late because they had forgotten to set their alarm, so they ran to the train station but had not brought their season ticket, causing them to miss their train. When they arrived at work, the staff meeting had already started. They wanted to leave at 5pm to see their favorite band, but couldn't because they had not completed the report their boss had asked for.

    NARRATIVE TENSES-PAST PERFECT

    The story

    I had a terrible day today. It started badly and just


    got worse.

    I woke up late because I'd forgotten to set my alarm


    clock. Because I was late, I ran to the train station
    but when I got there I realised I hadn't brought my
    season ticket. I missed my train.

    By the time I arrived at work, the staff meeting had


    already started. I really wanted to finish work at the
    usual time of 5pm because I wanted to see my
    favourite band at a concert. But I couldn’t leave on
    time because I hadn’t completed the report my boss
    had asked for.

    I left work late - and by the time I arrived at the


    concert venue, the band had already finished
    playing. I wept like a child.
