Now....let's practice what we've been doing (past tenses, punctuation) before the break and add homophones to it. Sometimes a clue is given. Other times you have to correct something

The story......(to be) not simple I ........(to see + never) a more complicated story ........ (than/ then) this my english teacher ...... (to give) us a task which was .....(to/too) complicated to do 

It ....... (to start) with a simple task which we could do easily ......(than/then) he .....(to ask) us ......(to write) down all the 50 states of the unites states and he only .....(to give) us ten minutes to complete the task

The story was not simple I have never seen a more complicated story than this. my English teacher gave us a task which was too complicated to do. 

It started with a simple task which we could do easily. Then he asked us to write down all the 50 states of the Unites States, and he only gave us ten minutes to complete the task.
