Default Re: past actions!

It's as Emile says.

I use the example:

I got up, got undressed, had a shower and got dressed.

I then ask the students what I did first after I got up, then after that, and after that.

It seems pretty obvious but sometimes you need something simple to make it sink in. Often they think things should be more complicated than they actually are!
