Past simple and past continuous part 1 1. I few to Edinburg on Thursday morning and had lunch with the Scottish sales team. Then I visited two factories there and discussed our last series of adverts with the marketing manager. He didn't keen on them, unfortunately. On Friday morning I drove to Glasgow and met the architects. We went to see new office building. I invited the architects to dinner, but they didn't free. I caught the overnight train back to London. 2. On Sunday I wrote a contract with my clients and I made some money from it. After that I had a lunch with my friend who moved to St.Petersburg some weeks ago. I met with her at 3 p.m. Yesterday I made dinner with my neighbors and after that I had a lesson at evening. 3. 1.

Lucky accidents
Is it true that Sir Issac Newton understood gravity because an apple fell on his head, while he was lying under a tree in his garden? Probably not. However, many discoveries both great and small are the result of lucky accidents...
One day in 1879, chemist Constantin Fahlberg didn't wash his hands before dinner. While he was eating, he noticed that the bread tasted sweet. The sweetness was saccharin.
