Ann

HELLO [이름], Thank you for answering your homework. I guess you are confused about the homework. HOMEWORK: \"Discuss the meaning of the verb form and answer the questions about the pair of sentences.a.Ken went to the store because he was running out of food.b.Ann went to the store because she had run out of food.QUESTION: Who is better at planning ahead?\" To discuss the answer with you, The first sentence is in the past continuous.The past continuous describes actions or events in a time before now, which began in the past and is still going on at the time of speaking. In other words, it expresses an unfinished or incomplete action in the past.So in this case, Kent has still some food left and if he didn\'t run to the store, he doesn\'t have anything to eat for the following days.The second sentence is in the past perfect.The past perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past.It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.It indicates that an action was completed (finished or \"perfected\") at some point in the past before something else happened.So in this case, Ann had no food to cook anymore so she had to ran to buy her food in the store.To answer the question - Who is better at planning ahead?The answer is Ken because he went to the store before he totally has nothing to cook.So Ken is better at planning ahead.TEACHER SOPHIA
