---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: lura dosa <luradsa@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: eat / tea ? Hello.. Sometimes the idea of a certain sentence in a grammar exercise is not very clear. For example, in the sentence below, I can't seem to get the past times of the events in the sentence. Can you please help me? A; "I was in your hometown last month. It looked like a nice town. I _______________ (be , never) there before. B: "What __________________ (do, you) in that part of the country?" A; "My wife and I _______________ (drive) to Washington to visit her folks." Also, I appreciate it if you tell me how words such as "read/dear, teach/cheat, meat/team" are called. Thank you very much.
