Correct only those verbs that are in the wrong tense. holiday diary: monday we arrived in the middle of a thunderstorm at one in the morning. i took the tent out of the car and tried to pitch it, only to then realised that we have forgotten the pegs. the kids' faces stared at me through the car's streaked windows as the dogs sat beside them. three-quarters of an hour later i finally managed to wake the site's shop owner, bought some spare pegs and got us all under canvas. the forecast, typically, was for rain all week. good old summer!
