This is an average movie with several sequels that did not meet my expectations. Because this scene is full of wrong choices and regrets, I used it to practice the use of past modals expressing regrets. Check out your audience first. Too sensitive students may not like it.
Urban Legend: (Total 4’28) Check only the items in which the main character’s decisions were wrong.
1) The girl traveled alone by car on a stormy day. ( )
2) She filled up the gas tank at a desolate gas station. ( )
3) She used a credit card to pay for the gas. ( )
4) She left the car to go to the gas station store. ( )
5) She didn’t listen to what the gas station worker had to say. ( )
6) She used pepper spray to get rid of the gas station worker. ( )
7) She left the gas station in a hurry. ( )
8) She didn’t check the backseat. ( )
Now rewrite the sentences expressing regrets.
Ex:
1 -The girl shouldn’t have traveled alone by car on such a rainy day.
2 – She shouldn’t have filled up the gas tank at a desolate gas station.
