Chronological order
Posted: 03 Jun 2008, 09:49
Hi Lucy,
I am currently taking a course in the hope of becoming a teacher - and this is the only question that has stumped me!!!
I have been asked to put the sentences in the following chronological order - and this is how I ordered them:
We lived in Pretoria for a while before we moved to Durban
We lived in Durban for 5 years
**********We were going to move to Port Elizabeth in 1983 but my job there fell through*********
We live in Johannesburg
We're going to live in Capetown
By the time we move to Cape Town, we'll have spent 3 years in Johannesburg
After we've lived in Capetown for a few years, we''ll move back to Johannesburg
The only sentence I struggled with was where to put the asterisked one. I think its in the right place but I don't know why - it just reads well haha.
Could you please let me know if the ordering is correct or incorrect? Please help I'm going crazy:(
Thanks
