Embarrassed moments

Sometimes funny things happen to us, let me tell you a little about my experience:

It happened something similar to me as in the picture below. Last year I won first place in a school contest, there were important people from school, the principle and his assitants, people from the local government so I had to dress up, I had never worn high heels in my life, my mother convinced me to do it, everytime I walked with them I looked like if I were drunk, I balanced from one side to other. I am that kind of girl who is always wearing casual clothes, jeans, t-shirts and sneakers. That day I was nervous, the ceremony took place in a big auditorium, full of students and strangers, the time came when I was called to go up to the stage and receive my award but while I was coming down , my ankle twisted and I fell off the stairs, I was wearing a skirt so everybody could see my underware. That was the most embarrassing moment ever!

See the highlighted expressions:while I was coming down the stage, my ankle twisted and I fell off the stairs

this expression refers to a past continuous action, SOMETHING YOU CONTINUE DOING BUT IN AN SPECIFIC TIME IN PAST.



For example:
Just when I came home from school axhausted and starving, all my family was having dinner, so cool!

What does it belong to you?

To express possession is to express what we own, to refer what it belongs to us, for example:
When you ask:
Whose bag is this?
Possible answers if you are the ownwer:

It's mine

It belongs to me

It's my bag

What if a third person refers possession or something belongs to someone ( a person)

For example:

Whose dog is that? (Megan)

It`s Megan's

It's hers

It's her dog

It belongs to her.

That dog belongs to Megan
