How was your visit? I Unit 22
Language tip

Use the past simple tense to talk about something that happened in the past at a
particular time and is now finished, for example, We stayed at least three hours or
It cost a lot of money

Also, when you want to give your opinion, start your sentence with I think or I
thought [if talking about the past].

See page 150 for more information on the past simple and page 154 for a list of
irregular verbs like cost.
