Упр.1 Модуль 5e ГДЗ Spotlight 10 класс

1. What can a story be about? What tenses do we normally use? Read the theory box and check.

Stories can be written in the first person (I/we) about real or imaginary events that happened to us, or in the third person (he/she/they) about events that happened to someone else.

A variety of past tenses are used in stories:

• Past Simple — to describe actions or events that started and finished in the past;
• Past Continuous — to set the scene and describe events in progress at a certain time;
• Past Perfect — to give background information and describe events that happened before other past events.

Stories always have:

• an introduction — it sets the scene (who, when, where, what happened, etc.) in an interesting way;
• a main body — it develops the storyline;
• a conclusion — it ends the story and describes the characters’ feelings.

A surprising ending makes a long-lasting impression on the reader.

Paragraph plan:

• Paragraph 1 — introduction: set the scene;
• Paragraphs 2–3 — main body: events in the order they happened;
• Paragraph 4 — conclusion: end the story and describe feelings.
