Re: past tense ?

Paul Matthews
Where did you find such an awful, badly mangled sentence?

"My own, real sister called me up telephoned/rang me telling to tell me WHAT? excitedly, and we decided that we would go shopping as soon as she comes back to town".

Also, what do you mean by "my own, real sister"? Do you have a sister who is not real? Or a real sister who is not your own?

Hi Paul,
I thought sentences in all books are correct . Now I know.
Thank you very much
