This is a lengthy question a teacher might give in class how can I change this to make it easier for elementary level with students having limited english the question is as follows. ''Well that was'nt really what I was hoping you'd say when I asked that question.I was actually looking for the name of the verb tense not an example sentence but what you gave me was fine only does anyone I wonder have the answer I'm looking for?" I hope somebody will be able to help with this question many thanks
