Common Core - Verb To Be in the Past

 

My trip to Marrakech last week was really good. The weather was amazing and there were many places to visit. The Jamaa Lefna square was so big and so crowded. Many tourists were there, some were trying food, others were taking pictures of the place. The city has a lot of gardens, and they were all so beautiful. The flowers were so colorful. I was there for only two days but my trip was very good. It’s because it wasn’t raining and all the places I wanted to visit weren’t closed or very crowded. Was it fun? Of course, it was, and I’m planning on coming back to the Marrakech next summer.
