Talking About the Past

This story had a verb in brackets at every gap, and every gap wanted the past simple. Here it is completed. One autumn evening, Charles and Beth went to the theatre. They attended a play. The play started at 7:00 p.m. Charles and Beth enjoyed the play. After the play, they walked together in the park. They walked beside the lake. The moon was bright. They talked about their future. When Charles and Beth went home, their children were not asleep. They waited for Charles and Beth to return. They were excited to hear about the play. Charles told the children about the play. Then, Beth put the children to bed. Charles and Beth were very tired. It was a good night!
