TENSES

Put the verb in brackets into the correct form!

Moving house

I come from a very large family and recently my parents ___________________________ (DECIDE) that they

___________________________ (SPEND) long enough living in an overcrowded house in Birmingham. “We

___________________________ (MOVE) to the country”, my father ___________________________ (ANNOUNCE) one

evening. “I ___________________________ (SELL) this house and we ___________________________ (LIVE) on a farm”.

So last week we ___________________________ (LOAD) all our belongings into two hired vans, and for the last few

days we ___________________________ (TRY) to organise ourselves in our new home. Yesterday, for example, my

two brothers and I ___________________________ (START) painting the upstairs rooms. Unfortunately, while I

___________________________ (MIX) the paint, one of my brothers ___________________________ (OPEN) the door.

Nobody ___________________________ (TELL) him that we ___________________________ (BE) in the room. So instead

of painting the walls we ___________________________ (SPEND) al morning cleaning paint off the floor.

But worse things ___________________________ (HAPPEN) since then. This morning, when I _______________________

(WAKE) up, water ___________________________ (DRIP) through the ceiling next to my bed. We _____________________

(SPENT) the last five hours repairing the roof. It is not all bad news though. The school in the village nearby

___________________________ (CLOSE) down two years ago, and my parents ___________________________ (NOT FIND)

another school for us yet.
