El día de Diana
Read about Diana’s plans for the day:
Hoy, voy a estar muy ocupada. Necesito ir al supermercado para comprar pan y
leche. Después, voy a comer con una amiga en un nuestro restaurante favorito.
Quiero correr con mi perro, y entonces tendré que ducharme. Luego, voy
a preparar la cena para mi familia y comer con ellos. Entonces, todos
nosotros vamos a ver una película al cine. Voy a comprar palomitas, pero
no voy a beber un refresco porque no quiero tanto azúcar y cafeina.
Vamos a volver a casa y espero leer por un ratito antes de dormir.
Now, imagine that it is the end of the day and Diana has done everything that she planned to do.
Make a list of the things that Diana has done, using the present perfect tense.
