Hola mamá,
Reescribe el siguiente pasaje en tiempo pasado de los verbos subrayados. Esté atento a los
verbos irregulares y escríbalos correctamente en tiempo pasado

john y yo lo pasamos de maravilla en Inrlanda. Todos los días nos levantábamos temprano y
dábamos un largo paseo por el campo. Cuando regresábamos, por lo general teníamos un gran
desayuno irlandés que normalmente consistía en dos huevos, tres rebanadas de tocino, tostadas
y mermeladas. Por lo general, pedíamos una taza de café después del desayuno: café
colombiano, por supuesto.
Después del desayuno a veces íbamos a nadar en el río. A menudo nos encontrábamos con
niños que les gustaba nadar allí. Eran muy agradables. Por la noche, casi siempre tomábamos
unas pocas pintas de Guinness en el bar del pub antes de acostarnos. Siempre dormíamos bien
después de eso, te lo aseguro.

Respuesta
Hi Mum,

John and I had a great time in Ireland. Every day we got up early and took a long walk in the
countryside. When we returned, we usually had a large Irish breakfast which usually consisted
of two eggs, three slices of bacon, toast and jams. Usually, we ordered a cup of coffee after
breakfast: Colombian coffee, of course.

After breakfast we sometimes went swimming in the river. We often met children who liked to
swim there. They were very kind. At night, we almost always had some pints of Guinness in
the pub bar before going to bed. We always slept well after that, I assure you.
