Übung 1
Philip with a different person every week. Sometimes he them, and sometimes they the police.
Philip flirts 1 with a different person every week. Sometimes he kisses 2 them, and sometimes they call 3 the police.
1 flirts: The third person, present tense form of the verb 'to flirt' is 'flirts'. We use the simple present tense to describe regular or habitual actions. In this exercise, 'every week' indicates that Philip flirts regularly.
1 flirt: In the present tense, the third person form of all regular verbs requires an 's' at the end. Philip 'flirts' with many different people.
1 to flirt: 'To flirt' is the infinitive form of the verb. We must conjugate the verb in this construction!
1 flirting: Because this is not an action in progress, we would not use the present progressive tense here. Also there is no auxiliary, which is required for the present progressive tense.
2 kisses: The third person, present tense form of the verb 'to kiss' is 'kisses'. We use the simple present tense to describe regular or habitual actions. In this sentence, the term 'sometimes' indicates that Philip kisses people regularly.
2 kiss: In the present tense, the third person form of all regular verbs requires an 's' at the end. Philip 'kisses' different people.
2 is kissing: Progressive (or 'continuous') tenses are used to describe actions 'in progress'. Example: I am calling my mother right now, as we speak. This tense shouldn't be used to describe an action which occurs regularly.
3 call: The third person plural, present tense form of the verb 'to call' is 'call'. We use the simple present tense to describe regular or habitual actions (or in this case occasional actions). In this sentence, the term 'sometimes' indicates that people 'call' the police occasionally.
3 calls: Most regular verbs require an 's' in the present tense, however this is not the case in the plural form. 'They calls' is grammatically incorrect.
3 are calling: Progressive (or 'continuous') tenses are used to describe actions 'in progress'. Example: I am calling my mother right now, as we speak. This tense shouldn't be used to describe an action which occurs regularly.

Select the sentence(s) which use(s) the term "call in" correctly. There may be more than one correct answer!
This is a good choice. A "call-in radio programme" is a show where the host asks listeners to telephone the radio station, often to share their stories, opinions, or personal experiences.
This is correct. This sentence uses "call in" in the same way as the article, meaning "to ask someone to come". Let's look at another example: "The police have been called in to investigate the fire".
This is not a good choice. It would be better to say "I need to call my mother this afternoon".
This sentence uses "call in" correctly. To "call in sick" is to telephone your place of work to say that you are ill, and will not be going to work that day. Here's another example: "You should call in sick and spend the day shopping with me!".

1 speaking: "Speaking" is the right answer here. We often say "(Bruno Delavigne) speaking" when we answer the phone, in order to introduce ourselves to the caller. This is a polite construction that's very useful in a business context!
2 calling: The verb "to call" is a very common synonym of "to phone". Example: "I'm busy right now. Can you CALL me again in half an hour?". In the conversation, Brian asks, "Who's calling please?".
3 hold: "Hold the line" is a common request to a caller to wait, either for the call to be transferred or for the party to come to the phone.
4 moment: "At the moment" means "now" or "currently", and it is the best choice here to express a temporary absence. It is a polite construction. Example: "I'm away on business at the moment but you can contact my assistant"
5 take: "Can I take a message" is the best and most common way to suggest that the caller leave a message for you to pass on when the person they want to speak to becomes available. We can also say "Would you like to leave a message?".
6 pass on: "To pass on (a message)" is to communicate, to transmit, or to give somebody (a message). At the end of the dialogue, Brian says to Mr. Floss, "I'll pass on your message".

2 calling: The verb "to call" is a very common synonym of "to phone". Example: "I'm busy right now. Can you CALL me again in half an hour?". In the conversation, Brenda says "I'm calling for Bruno Delavigne".
3 returning: "To return a call" is to telephone somebody after they have telephoned you. In the dialogue, Brenda is returning Bruno's call, which means that Bruno has already attempted to contact Brenda.
4 regarding: "Regarding" is a professional way of saying "about". In the dialogue, Brenda says, "I'm returning (Bruno's) call regarding (a meeting next week)". Note: this is a useful formula to learn to be able to return someone's call and state the reason for needing to speak with them.
5 hold: "Please hold (the line)" is a common request for a caller to wait, either for the call to be transferred or for the party come to the phone.
6 take: "Can I take a message" is the best and most common way to suggest that the caller leave a message for you to pass on when the person they want to speak to becomes available. We can also say "Would you like to leave a message?".
7 read: "Can I read that back to you?" is a nice way to check that you have noted a message correctly.
8 back: In the dialogue, Jean says "Can I read that back to you?" to ask permission to repeat Brenda's message to verify that he noted it correctly.

1 company phone: "Company phone" is the correct answer. The "company phone" is the telephone line and handsets paid for by a business. In the conversation, Donna is accused of making expensive "long-distance" calls using this phone line. This, of course, is unacceptable behaviour.
2 office supplies: This is the correct answer. "Office supplies" are the provisions, stationery, and equipment used in the workplace. This can include paper, pens, staplers, ink cartridges for printers, etc. In the conversation, Brian says that Donna has "been stealing office supplies". If this is true, then she is a very naughty girl.
3 expense: "Expense account" is correct. This term refers to the account which keeps a record of everything work-related which an employee has bought. This will then be reimbursed by the company, usually once a month. These expenditures can include travel costs, hotel rooms, and meals with clients. Brian charged his new tennis racket to his "expense account".
4 business expenses: "Business expenses" is the best choice here. "Business expenses" are items or services bought by an employee which are considered essential or necessary for their work. Examples of business expenses include petrol consumed on business trips, and meals paid for when dining with clients. These are reimbursed by the company. Brian claims that his new yellow tennis racket is a "business expense".
