READING COMPREHENSION Read the following passage. Write the sentences that are in: FUTURES WITH WILL AND GOING TO / PAST CONTINUOUS / SIMPLE PAST / SIMPLE PRESENT / PRESENT CONTINUOUS. Only 1 sentence for each of the above tenses (total 6 sentences) EXAMPLE: I had an accident yesterday. (SIMPLE PAST) I had an accident yesterday. It was funny, or well, it will be once my knee stops feeling so swelled. If I remember well, my puppy dog, Dante, was running along the hall because he wanted to have some of the brownie I was eating. I was walking towards the livingroom when Dante tripped with my legs and fell just in the place where I was going to set my foot. The good thing is that I had seen him before I stepped on him, or otherwise I would had hurt my poor dog. I gave a huge step so I wouldn't hurt him and that is when I heard the crack. Yes, it was my knee. I'll go to therapy next week, but the doctor said is not to serious and that by this time next month my knee will have healed completely. I like how that sounds. Can you listen to that? Dante is barking because he is hungry. See you next time!
