Back in 1911, this poor student had a seriously bad verb day! Not one of the translations is correct mainly because he doesn’t identify the tenses correctly but there are also some other errors. Maybe he rushed this because he’d forgotten to do his homework and would face the wrath of the teacher. Judging by his answers, he still wouldn’t have avoided a board rubber thrown in his directon! Can you help him out with the correct translations?
