Good point, that’s simpler, not sure why I phrased it like that!

Thank you, It was very helpful. I had to do 30 more exercises like this one. I got most of the answers here and am willing to do more.

In reply to AICHA.

Hi Aicha, no it wouldn’t really make sense in this case because the screaming occurs during the visit – ‘had visited’ would only really be used if the visit was completed before the other action.

In reply to Karina.

Hi Karina, my material is generally aimed towards intermediate to advanced level students but I think this one is fairly low intermediate so I would hope it would be okay for students at that level. Though I think some of the vocabulary might be slightly higher level.

Hello, I’m planning to give this exercise to my students but I can’t determine whether it’s suitable for their level. They are B1.1
