Week Six Text Blog Entry Four- a narrative or recount

Here is a link to an article about a woman whose death was confirmed by police yesterday. Malia Hatfull,19, died in Dunedin Hospital yesterday. She was admitted to Dunedin Hospital's intensive care unit after fell out of the extremely large Sequoia wellingtonia tree at Wanka Station Park on Sunday last. Most of the verb forms which explained what happened are in the past simple.There is one example of the present perfect simple(L-3,"has died"). There are two examples of the past passive. The first one is "was confirmed" and the second one is "would be reffered". There is one use of the past perfect simple (L-6 "Had been" ) connects three events in the past.
