 Time expressions that lead you to tenses:

Simple Past:

Last week/weekend/month/year
Yesterday
In the morning/in the afternoon (if you are in the evening)
 E.g.: Last week Paul visited a small agency.

Past Perfect :

Before that (if you are in the simple past)
The day/week/month/year before (if you are in the simple past)
E.g.: Last week Paul visited a small agency. Before that, we had made an appointment with the manager.

Present Perfect:

So far
This week/month/year
Yet
Since
E.g.: So far, he's never been to a big company. 

Now, work out these expressions with Anna's story ._______________________________________________________________ 

Some tips to think about and work out :

verbs+infinitive:

refuse
expect
decide
hope
promise
want
offer
help
E.g.: He refused to wear white pans.

verbs+ing :

give up
avoid
imagine
finish
E.g.: He gave up smoking.

Now, work out these expressions with Anna's story .
_________________________________________________________________

  Every time you must express an action think when it actually happens:

E.g.:
Dear friend:
I'm writing to tell you...............
This is the moment you are doing it, so you must use Present Continuous. (The only REAL PRESENT)

E.g.: (the ending of an informal letter)
I'll write you soon.
Kiss
You will write a letter in the future, in spite you don't know when. So, you must use SIMPLE FUTURE

Now, work out these expressions in a letter that Anna writes to her family .
