Subjunctive past perfect

♠ An Unlucky day ♠

When Anna left home, the weather was dry. Aunt Sarah told her to take an umbrella, but she didn't listen. It was hot in the shopping center, so she took off her coat.

Then she saw her friend Beth. Anna and Beth went to have a burger together and Beth borrowed Anna's last five pounds.

When Anna was leaving the shopping center, she remembered that she had left her coat in the restaurant.

She hurried back to get it, but it wasn't there. Her bus ticket was in the coat pocket.

So Anna had to walk home. It was quite a long way and it started to rain. Poor Anna - no coat, no umbrella, no bus ticket, no money.

 When she got home, she was cold and wet. She became ill and to spend the next day -her birth day- in bed. She couldn't have her birthday party.
