Please correct me if something is wrong!

Post by lizziey »

Hello, my name is Lizzie and I have to make a short homework at school. We are learning PAST PERFECT SIMPLE and PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS at the moment. I translated 15 sentences into english, someone please check these over and correct if needed. I would be very grateful!!!

1. Our neighbors had invited us with husband to lunch and I bought them flowers and a cake.
2. I had just tidied up rooms when the doorbell rang.
3. The children were sleeping — on the day they had picked a big basket full of berries.
4. Mary asked if the guest had rang.
5. Little Ted had never ridden a bicycle before.
6. Was the food ready when guests arrived?
7. Finally I remembered where I had seen this woman. We had had gone the same school.
8. We had been arguing so loud that neighbours had gathered to see what is happening.
9. We had argued several times before, but not so loud.
10. Bob had been working in this company for 30 years, when he finally retired.
11. When the boys had arrived to me, they were gasping as they had been running the whole way.
12. The men were angry because they had waited for us for an hour.
13. Men were especially angry because they had previously been waiting for us on several occasions.
14. Secretary had been moving things the whole day from one room to another - and now he sat in chair, tired and bored.
15. The wind had been blowing the whole day but suddenly it was quiet and the trees did not move anymore.
