Mr Jones' murder inspection



Questions using the Past tense.
Some students still have problems in the use of Past Tense.
They've been asked to write down some questions.
Some suspects, a murder and a detective.....Mr Jones...asking questions.....







  Hello there, it’s Detective Jones.
Last week, on 13th of November, Mr. Jack died.
He was found dead on the bed of The Wellington Hotel, in London.
Next to the body there was a black gun, a pair of black gloves and some blond straight hair.
Now I’m with the suspects.
Particulary his wife Cheryl, his brother Michael (he looks like Brad Pitt, with long blond hair) and his college’s friend, Briana.
I asked his wife: WHERE WERE YOU ON 13TH FRIDAY OF NOVEMBER?
-And she answered: I went to the gym, I always go to the gym in the evening because he was at work up to 9 p.m.
After that I asked his brother: WERE YOU BROTHER? HOW DID HE BEHAVE WITH YOU?
-Michael was scared and he said: We’ve never talked lately because I work in Ohio and our parents died seven years ago, yes, we were brothers but I can’t stand that, it's terrifying.
He was credible but I’m a Detective, everything could happen!
Briana was a bit insecure on the answer.
I asked her: MR JACK HAS WORKED FOR HIS COMPANY FOR FIVE YEARS AND YOU WERE COLLEGE’S FRIENDS. MR JACK TALKED WITH YOU ABOUT HIS PROBLEMS? DIDN’T HE?
And she answered stammering: I loved Jack too much and when he said to me about his marriage I was very angry, we always stayed together at the college but after that news I decided to change my mind, We stayed only friends.
BUT WHY WAS MR JACK AT THE HOTEL?
I supposed about a meeting between Michael and Jack but it was wrong.
Michael was in Ohio and his wife was seriously at gym.
WHERE WERE YOU ON 13TH FRIDAY OF NOVEMBER, BRIANA?
I asked Briana and she said: I was at the supermarket! -After that- No, I’m sorry, I was at home!
I had my answer, too easy!
The genetic test of the blond hair coincided with Briana’s hair.
Probably she was his mistress and this is why Mr Jack was at that Hotel.
Wrong move Briana!
Another problem solved by Detective Jones!
See you soon!
