Complete the description of a zoo using was, were, wasn’t or weren’t.

The zoo was amazing! It         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] very big and there 2         [was, were, wasn't, weren't]hundreds of animals. There         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] any insects or fish, though – just big land animals and birds, but they         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] great. It         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] much fun being with my parents, though. They were just embarrassing, my dad especially. He         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] really irritating, laughing and pointing at the elephants and acting like the monkeys. I         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] very interested in his animal jokes, either. Next time, I want to go on my own!

Complete the description of a pet shop using was, were, wasn’t or weren’t.

The pet shop was amazing! There         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] so many different animals there. There         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] even a snake. I         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] frightened – I like snakes – but my mum definitely         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] . She hates them, and spiders too, but there          [was, were, wasn't, weren 't] any spiders there. My dad         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] funny, trying to teach the parrot to talk. The pet shop owner         [was, were, wasn't, weren't] a bit annoyed, I think, but never mind.
