How to start a story

use this kind of sentences:

It all started when I accidentally picked up the wrong suitcase at the airport.

Use the past simple to describe the main events of a story in chronological order.

Do you know what is the indefinite form of these verbs?

was, got, opened, saw, looked, needed, decided, happened, shouted out, turned on, phoned, told, called, arrived, believed, were

When I got to my hotel room and opened the suitcase, I saw lots of small bags.

 Use the past continuous to describe situations or actions that were in progress at a certain point in the story.

was creeping, was running

In the middle of the night, I was woken up by a noise. Someone was creeping around in my room!

 

to be (was, were) + verb-ing

Use the past perfect to talk about something that happened before an event that you just mentioned in the story.

had been, had happened, had gone

I accidentally picked up the wrong suitcase at the airport. It had been on a long flight from the USA.

had + 3rd form of the verb

Use would to talk about something that will happen later in the story.

would return

I'd find

I decided that I would return the suitcase to the airport in the morning. Hopefully, I‘d find my own suitcase there.

 Try to use some intermediate grammar items. In this example, we have used a 3rd conditional sentence, a passive verb form, and two adjectives in the initial position.

 

If I hadn’t been so tired, I would have noticed.

I was woken up

Curious,

Alarmed,
