## Resource

George thought he was witnessing a crime and Phil thought a town in India was quiet until he came across an exciting festival. Neil and Pippa, and our grammar guru, Georgie teach you to use 'seem', 'it was as if' and 'it was as though' when you see something happening and you're not sure what's going on.
