'ed' endings
Read aloud the following dialogue between
Tim and Jenny. Pay particular attention to
the 'ed' endings.
Jenny:
I witnessed a serious accident last Friday.
Tim:
Really? What happened?
Jenny:
Well, I was doing some housework. It was going
to rain heavily, and I wanted to see how bad the
weather was. Then I walked over to the window
and looked outside.
Tim:
And what did you see?
Jenny:
Well, nothing at first. But then a minibus came
along the road. Two students started to cross
the road when the minibus drove straight over
the crossing without even slowing down.
Tim:
Oh, no! Was anybody hurt?
Jenny:
Well, the taller one jumped out of the way and
the minibus just missed her. But it knocked down
the other one.
