I have not yet been able to use this resource with students but plan to introduce it when we begin studying past tenses. I have reviewed the unit thoroughly, and it is clear, engaging, and very thoughtfully designed and organized. Thank you yet again, Martina, for your wonderful materials! You make my life much, much easier, and my students much happier! :)
