A strange experience

Last month I was on holiday in Ireland with my mum and 15 min


dad. One day, were driving through a small village. It was
time for lunch, so we stopped at a restaurant.

It was a large, old building. We looked through the


window. There were lots of people in the restaurant. They
were eating, drinking and chatting. A musician was playing
the violin. But there was something strange about the
people. They weren’t wearing normal, modern clothes.
They were wearing hats, jackets and dresses from another
century. We couldn’t understand it. But we were hungry,
so we opened the door.

When we went into the restaurant, everything was


different. The people were wearing normal clothes. The
musician wasn’t there… the music was on CD. It was a
very strange experience.

What is wrong about these sentences? Can you give the


right answer?

1. Daniel was on holiday with his parents in Scotland.


2. One day they were driving through a small
mountain town.
3. They stopped at a restaurant to have dinner.
4. All the people in the restaurant were dancing.
5. There was a musician in the restaurant, too. He was
playing the piano.
6. When Daniel and his parents looked through the
window the people in the restaurant were wearing
normal clothes: jeans, shirts, suits.

past simple and past continuous in the text.
