You *tested* your English while you *were watching* this video. You *had been scrolling* through KZbin looking for something to watch when you realised you *had not seen* this lesson! Can you write 2-3 sentences using all four past tenses?

Here are my sentences, Emma: My friend called me when I was driving, so I couldn't answer him. By the time I arrived at home, the dinner had already been cooked. Apparently, it had been cooking for about an hour 'n' a half before I came home. (thanks to my wife!)

When I left a house this morning it was snowing. While I was studying at the academy there was more snow, unfortunately. Finally, I left the academy and went to the tram stop. But there were only twelve standing. An old woman said she had been waiting for the tram for over an hour, I was shocked when I heard about that. The streets were covered with snow especially the one I was on, it was quite atmospheric. When I was waiting for the tram I was paying close attention to my feet because I was afraid to slip in the snow. It had been snowing all morning so the streets were uncomfortable to walk there. The road was full of cars and it was traffic jams. One man told me the reason for the traffic jams It was a car. All the snow had caused a car to slide through a red light and into oncoming traffic. The man, who told me about that, had already called the emergency traffic but they hadn't arrived at the scene yet. A nurse, who had witnessed the accident, was helping injured people. The evening news had warned about wild weather but the warnings hadn't convinced people from driving. By the time the emergency services got to the scene, the nurse had treated the injuries already, she kept their lives and the drivers had exchanged insurance details there
