Narrative tenses
Hello,
could you please have a look at my exercise and correct my asnwers?
I had to complete it using narrative tenses. The words in capitals are my answers.
Thank you.
A search for a missing child in the East Paterson ENDED (end) happily last week after five-year-old Ricky Ross was found asleep in his own room. Last Monday, Julie Ross, the boy´s mother, WAS WORKING ( work) in the front garden when she HEARD (hear) her son cry out.
He WAS PLAYING (play) in the living room but when she RAN (run) to the house, she SAW (see) that the back door was open and there was no sign of her son.
Neighbours JOINED (join) in the search and as they WERE SEARCHING (search) in the forest behind the house, they FOUND (find) a few pieces of children´s clothing. There was initial panic but it was soon clear that the clothing HAD BEEN (be) there for years and didn´t belong to the boy. Ricky was eventually found by another child who HAD GONE (go) into the boy´s room while the search WAS GOING (go) on because she HAD HEARD (hear) a noise from the toy chest. When she OPENED (open) it, there was Ricky safe and sound- he WAS SLEEPING
in the toy chest the whole time, unaware of the panic he had caused.
