Now we want you to turn your attention to the simple sentences that have been written about the events outside Pepys’ window.

People were pulling down houses with hooks.

People were loading carts with their belongings.

People were running to the boats to sail away.

My neighbours were putting out the fire.

Everyone was shouting and crying.

Everyone was trying to save their houses.

People were running with leather buckets filled with water.

People were trying to escape the fire.

My neighbour was loading their belongings into a cart.

People were getting crushed in the tight alleyways.
