Hello my superstar English student! This is Alex and this is your bonus lesson. In this lesson I am going to tell you the exact same story, but in the past tense. We are going back. Imagine! See in your head it was 10 years ago. Don’t think about the rules. Just listen and enjoy the story!

Ten years ago there was a fish. Her name was Nancy. Nancy the fish had a secret. All the fishes wanted to know the secret. But Nancy didn’t reveal the secret to them.

One day all the fishes decided not to talk to Nancy any more.

The fishes refused to talk to her. The fishes pretended not to see her.

Nancy said, “I don’t care. I can do well without you” and she swam away.

Three weeks later Nancy was swimming towards a big, beautiful and fantastic coral reef. She had never been there before. As Nancy swam up to the big, beautiful and fantastic coral reef, she saw a lot of fishes of different kinds. They were nice, cheerful and friendly to her. Nancy was thrilled.

Suddenly a huge, ugly and hungry shark appeared. The shark started eating all the fishes. Nancy was trying to escape from the shark, but the shark followed her. Nancy was trying to hide in the seaweeds, but the shark found her and attacked her.

But because Nancy was a secret aikido master, she beat the shark. The shark screamed and swam away.

All the fishes loved Nancy. She became the queen of the coral reef. She became the sea queen of the coral reef.

Listen to the story many times. Listen and remember that it was ten years ago. It was in the past. Don’t think about these grammar rules. Just listen and enjoy. The next lesson is the mini-story lesson. See you there.
