Rewrite the following paragraph, correcting any problems in verb tense or subject/verb agreement. i looked at the clock. it was almost 7: 30 p. m. where were everyone? i had been waiting for half an hour, and neither lydia nor michelle had arrived. i looked around the restaurant, watching the other people eating happily with their family and friends. maybe i will get the time wrong? i was positive, though, that 7 p. m. was the time we were supposed to meet. i checked my phone again--no calls. sometimes my friends were a few minutes late, but never this late! i look at the text again, and i started to worry. suddenly, my phone will ring. "hello? where are you? " it turns out that i am sitting in the wrong restaurant for thirty minutes.

The correction would be in bold.

I looked at the clock. It was almost 7:30 P.M. Where was everyone? I had been waiting for half an hour, and neither Lydia nor Michelle had arrived. I looked around the restaurant, watching the other people eating happily with their family and friends. Maybe I got the time wrong? I was positive, though, that 7 P.M. was the time we were supposed to meet. I checked my phone again--no calls. Sometimes my friends were a few minutes late, but never this late! I looked at the text again, and I started to worry. Suddenly, my phone rang. "Hello? Where are you?" It turned out that I was sitting in the wrong restaurant for thirty minutes.

Hope it helps!
