It was the night before Christmas. The snow had been fallingall week(過去完成式的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)), and the entire town was covered in snow (過去式被動(dòng)). In every house, the children had already gone to bed(過去完成式的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)), where they dreamed about new toys. Their parents were still awake. Presents were taken out of their hiding place (過去式被動(dòng)), and were wrapped with paper and bows(過去式被動(dòng)).
Tomorrow morning, children will run down the stairs. Presents will be opened (未來(lái)式被動(dòng)), Christmas carols will be sung (未來(lái)式被動(dòng)), and Christmas cookies will be eaten (未來(lái)式被動(dòng)). But for now, the house was quiet.
