Literacy Task - Past Tense

Task: - Read the passage carefully. You must copy it into your books but change it into the past tense. Remember, that means you have to write it as if it has already happened.

DO NOT JUST COPY THE PASSAGE OUT.

Jim and Tom walk down the road towards town. They are going to buy the latest single by All Saints. Tom counts his money to make sure he can afford the single. They go into WH Smith and head towards the record department. Tom picks up the latest album by Robbie Williams. It has a good front cover, but Tom still wants to buy the All Saints single. He passes the single to the sales girl who takes his money off him. Tom takes the bag, but forgets the receipt so he runs back into the shop. The boys look at the single; they really want to play it. Jim wishes he has enough money to buy the Robbie Williams album. The boys talk for a while. They decide that they have enough if Tom gives Jim some of his money. Both boys now have a new record and are very pleased with themselves.
