Task 2
A. Some of the tenses have been mixed up in the following paragraph. Rewrite it below,
correcting the mistakes.
Last week, Harry has a fright. He went to bed early and is sitting on his bed to
read a horror story about a haunted house. Suddenly he hears a strange noise. It
was coming from above him. It sounds like footsteps in the attic. He calls his
father to come and listen to the noise. His father comes into his room and
listened carefully. Harry’s father could hear the noise too. Then he smiles and
says, “Harry it’s only birds that have nested in the attic!”
