Past Simple: REGULAR and IRREGULAR Verbs

- READING ACTIVITY - "Sherlock Holmes, a great detective".

Sherlock holmes was born in England on 6th January, 1854. He worked as a detective and Doctor Watson helped him. They shared a house at 221B Baker Street in London and they travelled a lot.
  Sherlock Holmes didn't believe in superstition and he was famous for his logic and astute observation to solve difficult cases, so he always caught the murderer.
