Read the story about Mrs. Brown's strangest dream. Write out all the present participles and say how they are used. THE DAY THE QUEEN CAME TO TEA I was at home one rainy afternoon, sitting in front of the fire and watching television, when suddenly there was a knock at the door. I wasn't expecting anyone, so I was quite surprised. I went to the door and opened it, and there was the Queen of England standing at the door, wearing her crown and holding a shopping bag, just like you or me, coming home from the shops. "Hello, Queen," I said. "Do come in." "Thank you," she said, and came in. I showed her into our front room. "I went shopping this afternoon, and I am so tired that really must sit down and rest my feet for a moment." So I said to her. "You sit down, Queen and put your feet up. Would you like a cup oftea?" She smiled in that lovely royal way she's got and said "Oh, thank you". I was getting the tea ready when she called out to me. "The shops are so crowded at this time of year". So I went back into the front room."Yes, they are. What did you buy?" I asked, looking at her shopping bag. "I was looking for some curtains when I saw this lovely material, and I thought: this is really nice for Windsor Castle," she said. "Yes, it's really lovely," I said.
