Writing
We have looked at the ‘past perfect’ tense this week in grammar. We use the past perfect when we are talking about an event which has been completed before something else happened.
Eg: I finished cooking the dinner. Then my guests arrived.
becomes
I had just finished cooking the dinner when my guests arrived.
It uses the past tense of ‘to have’ (had).
Can you convert these sentences into the perfect past? The sentences must make sense, so say them before you write them.
Jan finished her dinner. Then she sat down to watch TV.
I turned off the lights. Then I went to bed. Our class got off the bus. Then we walked into the museum

2. Triangle ABC is isosceles and has a perimeter of 20 cm.

Sides AB and AC are each twice as long as BC.
3. A triangle has 2 angles measuring a total of 130 degrees. Each of these 2 angles measures the same. What type of triangle is it? What are the measures of all 3 angles?
