3. Anne is emailing her new Spanish friend Pillar. If the underlined verb is wrong, correct it. 1) P'll try to answer some of your questions. 2) I have moved to London from Bristol in 1995. 3) That means
I've been here for almost ten years now. (Wow! Time flies, doesn't it?) 4) I was living in the south of the city
when I was starting going out with my husband, Mel. 5) (We were both studying French at the time we have
met at University College.) 6) In fact, I've stayed in flats all over London! 7) My favourite flat had a balcony and
you could see a small park in the square. 8) I had never forgotten that flat, or my flat mates. Anyway, that's
enough about me. 9) How long have you lived in Madrid? 10) Have you been born there? London and Madrid
are so big? Aren't they? 11) I didn't see all the different parts of London yet! 12) i saw an old friend by chance
about a week ago when I walked to work, and she lives on a boat in north London. 13) I have visited her last
week. 14) I've never seen such a small kitchen! My friend cooked a meal for us.​

1) P'll try to answer some of your questions.
Correction: P'll should be I'll. It is a contraction of "I will".

2) I have moved to London from Bristol in 1995.
Correction: moved should be move. The correct form is "I moved to London from Bristol in 1995" because the action is already completed in the past.

3) That means I've been here for almost ten years now. (Wow! Time flies, doesn't it?)
No correction needed.

4) I was living in the south of the city when I was starting going out with my husband, Mel.
Correction: starting going should be starting to go. The correct form is "I was living in the south of the city when I started to go out with my husband, Mel" because the action of going out started in the past.

5) (We were both studying French at the time we have met at University College.)
Correction: have met should be met. The correct form is "We were both studying French at the time we met at University College" because the action of meeting occurred in the past.

6) In fact, I've stayed in flats all over London!
No correction needed.

7) My favourite flat had a balcony and you could see a small park in the square.
No correction needed.

8) I had never forgotten that flat or my flat mates. Anyway, that's enough about me.
Correction: had never forgotten should be have never forgotten. The correct form is "I have never forgotten that flat or my flat mates" because the action of forgetting (or not forgetting) is still relevant in the present.

9) How long have you lived in Madrid?
No correction needed.

10) Have you been born there? London and Madrid are so big? Aren't they?
Correction: Have you been born should be Were you born. The correct form is "Were you born there?" because the birth is a past event and the question is asking about a specific time in the past. Also, the sentence should be split into two sentences for clarity: "London and Madrid are so big, aren't they?".

11) I didn't see all the different parts of London yet!
Correction: didn't see should be haven't seen. The correct form is "I haven't seen all the different parts of London yet" because the action of seeing is not yet completed.

12) I saw an old friend by chance about a week ago when I walked to work, and she lives on a boat in north London.
No correction needed.

13) I have visited her last week.
Correction: have visited should be visited. The correct form is "I visited her last week" because the action of visiting is already completed in the past.

14) I've never seen such a small kitchen! My friend cooked a meal for us.
No correction needed.
