Rainy Retell

In this worksheet, students read a short passage about a picnic disrupted by rain and then retell the story in their own words. They must include at least five sentences written in the past perfect continuous tense to show what ongoing actions had been happening before later events occurred. The activity encourages students to transform narrative text, demonstrating comprehension and grammatical accuracy. By rewriting the story, learners practice sequencing events, identifying key details, and constructing longer passages using the correct tense. The open writing space allows for creative expression and reinforces mastery of complex verb structures.
