Choose the tense, then stay in it. Every verb in the sentence must agree with the time.

Last Saturday the café open at eight. Polpetta made the dough, stirred the sauce and lift the bread out of the oven. While he was busy, Nonna goed to the market and look for lemons. She saw her friend Rosa there and they talk for an hour. At lunch everyone eated two puddings and the kitchen was a mountain of pans.
Check every verb, not just the first one in each sentence. Two of the lesson's changing verbs (went, saw, made, ate) are already right.

Help Polpetta

Chef Polpetta

I checked my diary twice. Yesterday I went to the market and see Rosa. The first verb is past, so the whole sentence is past. Perfetto, no?

Tell him why it is still wrong, and rewrite the sentence so every verb agrees.
