Hello, my name is Luca. I decided to create this blog to help you on studying English, at an INTERMEDIATE level. The target which I am referring to, is men and women of any age who have already studied the basic grammar of English, and willing to get back into learning it for free online. The European level which corresponds to this blog is: B1. So if you are ready, let's get started!

Unfulfilled past events
I was going to call you, yesterday evening, but the battery of my phone died unexpectedly
The following structures can be used to talk about events which were intended to take place, but which did not happen.
examples:
- I was going to call you, but my battery died.
- I was about to send you an email, when you called me.
- He was thinking of going to China, but he changed his mind and he went to Thailand.
- She had been thinking to buy a new car, but she decided to wait for a good second hand one.
- The meeting, which was to have taken place last Tuesday, was unexpectedly cancelled.

RispondiEliminaVery interesting blog. A lot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that attract others, but I'm most definitely interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
