2. On Vacation
When we are
talking about vacation or weekends, usually we can find several statements like
these:
I am going to
go to the Bali on my vacation.
I will spend
my weekends at home.
I am going to
go to the movie on Saturday night.
I went to the
movie on Saturday night. (Past time, if the event had already done)
Several
statements above are only samples of the sentences that can be used by us to
tell the other about our plan. And, here the example that can also be used to
ask the question about vacation or weekends which had already happened. Please
practice with your partners to ask question by using Simple Past Tense like
these:
Who did you go
with?
What time did
you go?
Where did you
go after that?
What did you
do on Sunday?
We can try to
practice by using all of that sentences, either asking or answering question.
Here the example of the English conversation which talks about vacation.
Hopefully it can be useful for you. Now please read and practice.
