Week 19^th

Hi again!

Last week we reviewed quantifiers…

·      Neither of us (none of us) eat meat. Can we have vegetarian food on the plane?

·      Sorry, drinks are not allowed past this point. Either you drink it now, or you put it in this bin.(you have two options)

·      Both of us (the two of us) have heart conditions. Do we have to go through that machine?

·      Every time (always, whenever) I fly I forget to take my belt off when I go through security control!

… and modal verbs in the past.

Two police officers were searching the crime scene!

There’s a bottle of champagne in the fridge but it’s not very cold. It can’t have been (definitely, not) in the fridge for long.

And if there was a bottle of champagne, the victim could have been expecting (it’s possible)a visitor.

He must have come back (it’s sure) from a holiday because there’s a suitcase with clothes on the bed.

He can’t have been (definitely, not) on a holiday in England because he was very suntanned. He must have been (it’s certain) somewhere sunny. He might have been to Spain!

We finished seeing episode 1 from the IT Crowd.

The two guys decided not to tell on her (tell the boss about her), otherwise all of them would have been fired.(dismissed)

After the woman whose computer Roy had mended (fixed, repaired), tried to beat him to death by hitting him with her expensive shoes, the IT department decided to throw a party.

Jane, the new head of the department is a people person. (sociable, outgoing)

The party turned up (had as a result) badly because Moss told a story he wasn’t supposed to. It was a misunderstanding.

In the end,(finally) Jane seems to have taken to (start liking)her new job. She has learnt a lot about computers. She can take calls and give instructions so as to sort out (solve) the problems with the staff’s PCs. “Have you tried to turn it off and on again?”

And you were very happy because it was the first week I didn’t give you homework!!!
