An Evening Out (simple past, past continuous)
Last night I went to Nathan Phillips Square at City Hall in Toronto. It was a beautiful summer evening. It was warm and sunny. Lots of people were there because of the Pan Am games celebrations. I stood and watched the crowd.Many people were sitting by the water. Some people were talking with friends or family. Lots of people were taking pictures.
A band was playing music on the stage. People were standing by the stage. They were listening to the music. Others were watching the performance on large video screens.
Everyone was enjoying the summer evening.
