For this he will ask the students to change the tense of the verbs in the following sentences as indicated against each: 1. I am ready for the task. (change into past tense) 2. My friends go to school by the school bus. 3. I saw the Taj in 2010. (Past pwerfect) 3. Father has bought me a watch. (change into Past Perfect) 4. I catch a bid. (Change into Past perfect) 5. The fishermen are singing a song.

You should see the doctor. Ali and Mala leave the canteen and go to see the doctor. Mary does not go with them. Just after Ali and Mala have left, Gurmeet comes and asks Mary ,Did you see Ali this morning? Now Mary tells Ali: Ali was here a few minutes ago. He went to see the doctor .
