Question

Exercise 2 Rewrite the passage using the simple past tense of the circled verbs given in the brackets : Living as we do in England at this time, It is important for my parents that my brother and I be familiar with our Indian culture, our history and our roots. My parents steer us towards the serialized epics-the Ramayan and the Mahabharata on television which they record and watch with us every Sunday. My brother and I are fascinated with each episode and wait eagerly for Sunday to come - just as we do for our favourite cartoon show - Tom and Jerry. My mother insists that I join Bharatnatyam dance classes and that my brother learns the tabla. My mother wears jeans at home or to the super market but when we go to the temple she dresses up in her beautiful cotton sarees and decorates her hair with jasmine flowers. This is how we keep our 'Indianness', away from our motherland. ​
