I can write the opening of a diary entry based on ‘Into the Forest’.

Show transcript
The recount in a diary entry is written mainly in the past tense. The present perfect tense shows unfinished past actions or past actions that are still relevant now. The auxiliary verb ‘has’ or ‘have’ is joined to the main verb to change simple past tense into perfect present tense. Contractions are one element of informal language in a diary entry. A range of sentence types, including adverbial complex sentences, should be used in a diary entry.
