Exercise 1
What does Jean want to do?
What does Jean want to do?
This is incorrect. Jean doesn't want to marry his girlfriend (or propose to her).
Jean doesn't love his girlfriend any more. He is asking Brian, Polly and Philip to help him "break up with" his girlfriend. To "break up with" someone is to end a relationship with them, to "separate" from them, or to "dump" them. If you no longer love someone, you might like to think about breaking up with them!
This is incorrect. Jean doesn't want to buy his girlfriend a present or gift.
This is incorrect. Although Philip would probably agree to this proposition, sharing his girlfriend is not what Jean wants to do.
