12. Read these sentences. Pay attention to the verb "to be" in the Past.
It was horrible to try and sleep here, but it was safer than the jungle! The light from Zambo's fire was the only hope of escape from this dangerous world.
There's a constant war between the two groups. It was a horrible thing to see.
There was an open area of grass near the edge of the cliffs. The small houses of the apemen were in the trees, and they were made of leaves.
In this area there were about one hundred apemen. In front of them there was a little group of Indians and Professor Summerlee.
One of them was Professor Challenger, and the other was the king of the apemen. Both of them were short with big chests and large heads. They were both covered with hair. The big difference between the two was that the Professor's hair was black and the king's hair was red.
This time it was Summerlee.
We thought we were safe, but then we heard the sound of feet. They were very frightened. One of them, we thought, was their chief.
A large number of canoes were coming towards us. They were there to save their young chief from the apemen. He told them that now was the time to attack and defeat the apemen for the last time. They were all together and they had the help of these strange men with great magic - our rifles.
Lord John was not interested in the wonderful animals. Now there were about four or five hundred of them. In the open, it was easy to defeat them. When we went in the forest it was more difficult. The most important victories of human history were different. They were the victories of primitive man over tigers, of primitive man over apemen.
