Example:
Yesterday was Jean’s birthday. Pascale decided to buy a cake for Jean, but when she got to the party, Jean already had a cake.
If Pascale (know) had known that Jean already had a cake, she (buy) would have bought ice cream instead.
When I was in
college, I was invited to a poetry reading program. The event was held in the
Arcellana Library in the Faculty Center at the University of the Philippines. I
was very nervous because it was going to be my very first poetry reading
session. I had attended poetry reading sessions before, but the attendees were
mostly my classmates or members of the so-called "illegal" U.P.
Writers' Club. Why was it called "illegal?" It is a long story and
we'll discuss it some other time. Brevity is the key.
This time, the
small event would be attended by published student writers and faculty members
of the English Department. Therefore, there was a real reason to be anxious
because I would be among established and published writers and professors. To
be given a slot to read my unpublished poem was an honor.
The mood was
festive, and I was shaking but trying my best to contain my terror and elation.
I was with poets and real writers, and I felt that a door was open. The gods
and goddesses of Philippine literature had welcomed this "little
cricket," as I secretly called myself during those days.
