Hello
dears! My name is Lady Past Continuous.
I'm also very nostalgic like my friend the Past Simple Boy . We were together in many occassions when we were young. While Iwas studying to be a secretary he was studying to be a teacher and we lived on the same street in Granada.
When I was going out with
his best friend Javi, the Past
Simple Boy was going out with
my best friend Margarita. This is an old story but I like thinking about the
past.
I met the Past Simple Boy again two years ago in our English
Club in Mijas called The Happy Verby Gang. We were talking for hours about
the past times.
These
days, I usually go out with another guy, the Present
Perfect Man, we work in the same company and he is also a member of the club. He
surprised me last evening; we were having dinner when he invited me to go on holidays together.
