Exercise on tenses
Dear teachers,
Would you please have a look at my exercise?
Complete the following conversation using the correct tense.
KIM : This is the first time I have eaten / I am eating (eat) snails.
YOU : I hate them ! I ate (eat) snail for the first and last time when we went (go) to a very expensive restaurant for my 12th birthday. I was (be) so sick that I had to go (modal + go) to the hospital! (TO HOSPITAL ?)
KIM : What about frog's legs ? Have you ever had (ever / have) any ?
YOU : Oh yes ! I love them. Mum cooked (cook) some last week.
KIM : I have always wanted (always / want) to taste them!
Many thanks,
Hela
