History happens right after it happened as it has moved from the present into the past Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Either Past Simple (it happened) or Past Simple Continuous (it happened and is still happening) methinks Grin

I spent most of yesterday afternoon teaching this and it has driven me bats so today I've got some nice "Civilisation" lessons.... aka talk about something and then watch a short program about it, e.g. racism and bigotry followed by Fawlty Towers "The Germans" episode. Can you believe I've been getting away with this malarky for 7 years? Grin

To be fair, history is starting continuously. That means every post on this forum is historic by definition...

No - just starting to get a handle on Reverse Polish Notation to apply it to XML coding ... except I tried applying it to grammar ... (not that the "children" of today are required to learn it since it would stifle their creativity and otherwise hurt their self esteem)
