When the next class came around, Jim did not have his essay done.
Why didn't he have his essay done by then?
Jim didn't even bring his essay to class.
I see what you mean. Jim should have been prepared for class and turned in his essay on the due date. He will probably regret it when he gets a bad grade in the class.
Yea, I told Jim to be prepared next time.
Jim sounds like he could use a reminder from time to time. Let him know with a friendly text next time there is a big assignment that his class is turning in.
