This happened a few weeks ago, so it's not entirely recent. It does however continue to creep into my brain, making me smile whenever I need a pick me up :)
The dialogue below remains true to the actual situation. It will make you smile too!
Me: "When we do descriptive writing - if you start your story 'Once Upon A Time' what tense do you need to use?
Student D's hand goes up. I am surprised because she is usually reluctant to answer questions, so I offer her a chance.
Me: "Student D! What tense should you use?"
Student D jovially responds to my question excited to share her answer.
Student D: "You should use sen-tense Sarah teacher!"
Me: "Say it again? I didn't hear you clearly..."
Student D: "Sentence Sarah teacher. You need to use sentence!"
Me: "Oh sweetheart, you're right. Please use sentences. But if you start Once Upon A Time, Once Upon A Time has already happened. You need to use past tense. "
Student D proceeds to stare blankly.
Me: "Was, were, went.... "
Student D continues to stare. Then responds, "I'll make sure I write good sentence."
Me: "Just make sure it starts with a capital letter, and ends with a period."
Cheers for Now,
Sarah
