Вопрос:
Read the sentences. Then look at the calendar and say the sentences. Then use: two weeks ago, last Sunday, yesterday, a week ago, last Tuesday, three days ago. 1 I was in France on the seventh of March.
Okay, let's analyze the sentence. The original sentence is 'I was in France on the seventh of March'. The calendar shows that the 7th of March was a Friday. Now we need to use the given time phrases.
* **two weeks ago:** Since the 7th of March is a Friday, two weeks ago would be February 22nd. The sentence becomes 'I was in France two weeks ago'.
* **last Sunday:** To find 'last Sunday' we count back from Friday the 7th. Last Sunday was the 2nd of March. Thus, the sentence becomes 'I was in France last Sunday'.
* **yesterday:** The day before the 7th is the 6th of March. The sentence becomes 'I was in France yesterday'.
* **a week ago:** A week before the 7th is the 29th of February, not available in the calendar. We can consider the 1st of March. The sentence becomes 'I was in France a week ago'.
* **last Tuesday:** The last Tuesday from the 7th of March (Friday) was March 4th. The sentence becomes 'I was in France last Tuesday'.
* **three days ago:** Three days before Friday the 7th would be Tuesday the 4th. The sentence becomes 'I was in France three days ago'.
**Answers:**
* I was in France two weeks ago.
* I was in France last Sunday.
* I was in France yesterday.
* I was in France a week ago.
* I was in France last Tuesday.
* I was in France three days ago.
**Explanation for Students (на русском):**
Мы работаем с датами. 7-е марта - это пятница. Нам нужно использовать разные временные промежутки. "Две недели назад" - это 22 февраля. "В прошлое воскресенье" - это 2 марта. "Вчера" - это 6 марта. "Неделю назад" - это 1 марта (или 29 февраля, если бы год был високосным). "В прошлый вторник" - это 4 марта. "Три дня назад" - это также 4 марта. Для каждого временного промежутка мы строим новое предложение.
