Find the term used in the dialogue which means "journey" or "voyage":
Did you enjoy your trip 1 to the North Pole?

The verb to fly is used several times in the dialogue, and it is irregular! Complete the sentences below!

I fly to work in my helicopter every day.
Yesterday, I flew 2 to Hong Kong in a plane.
I have already flown 3 in a hot air balloon, and I don't want to do it again!
1 trip: "Trip" is the best term here. A "trip" is a "journey" or a "holiday". Here's another example: "I'd like to take a trip to Marseille this summer".
2 flew: "Flew" is the right answer here. The verb to fly is conjugated as: I fly/I flew/I have flown. In this sentence, we need the preterit tense, due to the time marker "yesterday". Here's another example: "The bird stole my ring, flew through the air, and landed on a very high branch".
3 flown: "Flown" is the correct conjugation here. We say "I fly/I flew/I have flown". This is an example of the present perfect tense, which is needed when we want to say that we "have already done something". Another example: "-Have you ever flown on the back of a dragon? -No, I've never even seen a dragon!".
