I definitely never did this
When I was first teaching in China, it was at a university. The classes I was teaching were all training to be primary school teachers, and thus were about 96% female, all between 19 and 20. Well, I has happy as a dog with two dicks, as you can imagine, especially as they seemed to consider me "glamourous" and "exotic" - it was a university in a small provincial town, and I don't think most of them had even met a foreigner before. So they would beam at me, and I would exult in how cool I suddenly was.

So one day, I turned up for class and got the lesson on the data projector. I used to type the lesson plans up on Word, with the basic instructions which I would explain as the class proceeded. Simples.

Except, for this class, I had been bored/horny while typing it up. So I definitely didn't start off with "Today, we'll be talking about... who gets to suck me off". And forgotten to delete it. And shit myself when I saw it up on the monitor.

I don't think I've ever moved a mouse so fast.

The classes you was teaching? English?

The classes I taught
Sorry, for it is I that is being obtuse.

I have nothing decent to contribute so I pointlessly comment on other people's stories.

That's a different tense, though.

I like how this started about me leching on students and became a debate about grammar.

Leching on?
Leching after, surely?

Surely it's a situational imperfect for the subordinate preterite of the action?

( .Yeti., Wed 21 Sep 2011, 10:30, closed)

Pfffffffff.
No one says imperfect anymore. I see it as the past continuous in the noun phrase because the classes were a continuous action at the time of the story. That's why we use the past continuous to set the scene at the beginning of a narrative.

I was walking down the street one day,
I saw a house on fire.
There was a man shouting and screaming from the top floor,
For he was sore afraid.

Oh, don't get me wrong.
I understand we still need to use imperfect to describe the mood of some past verbal phrases, but I feel that no one uses it to describe subject+was/were+present participle anymore.
