My English exam

The other day I had an English exam, and it was horrible. First there was two listenings with questions about them. I answered but I think that not very well, it was very difficult for me. Then, the teacher called me by telephone and she simulated two emergencies. In the first call, she had founded to her mother on the floor unconscious and I called a medical assistant. Next, she called me again. Now she had seen a fire in a restaurant kitchen, no flames, I called the fire department and the police.

I think that I failed but I will improve for next time.

Hello Jorge,

I'm sorry to hear about your  exam, perhaps it wasn't as bad as you think. Remember that 'have' is irregular, it changes to 'had' in the past tense. When you are telling a story in the past tense and you want to talk about something that happened before that time (the past past!), you should use the past perfect - had + past participle.

Hope this helps

Bob
