This is a true statement. Maria says: "Why don't I just mail them to you?", referring to Philip's underwear, the item of clothing which Philip left at Maria's on Saturday night. "To mail" and "to send by post" are synonymous.
This is the only statement which is not true. There is no mention of where Maria is staying. It seems clear as well that there is no such person as "Brianna". Maria is just inventing a story about the man she is with named Brian.
This is a true statement. Philip tells Maria, "It's me Philip", and Maria responds by saying "the mechanic?". Maria isn't sure who is calling her, and believes that Philip is a mechanic, someone who repairs machinery (cars generally).
Throughout this conversation, Philip is reminding Maria of a date they had on "a few days ago". Philip tells Maria, "We had dinner two days ago".
Exercice 3
Choose the TRUE statements about Icarus from the list below.
Choose the TRUE statements about Icarus from the list below.
When Icarus tells Philip that he is "otherwise engaged" he is expressing that he is "busy" tonight, or that he has a commitment which prevents him joining Philip tonight. Although the verb to "engage" as well as the noun "engagement" are terms which are related to marriage in a different context, here they refer to an appointment that Icarus has made with Ruby Delaware.
This statement is true. Icarus declines Philip's invitation to spend the evening at bars and parties because he has an "engagement": a meeting with a lady friend named "Ruby Delaware".
This statement is true. Icarus tells Philip that he used to be "quite the ladies man in school". The construction "used to be" indicates a past state, and a "ladies man" is someone who is known to be successful with females romantically. Icarus is claiming to have been good with women in the past, much to the surprise of Philip.
This statement is true. Icarus admits that he is wearing "cologne" (perfume for men) as well as new "suspenders". In American English, "suspenders" are elastic straps worn over the shoulders and chest which "hold up" or "suspend" pants or trousers. In British English, the term refers to a women's undergarment which holds up or "suspends" stockings. In Great Britain, "suspenders" in the American sense are called "braces".
Icarus mentions that his date, Ruby Delaware, is wearing high heels, red lipstick and a fur coat. Icarus is wearing cologne and new perfume, but not heels or lipstick (which are typically feminine accessories), or a fur coat.

Remember to conjugate each verb correctly!

I was hired 1 ("employed") by my present company 4 years ago. My employers raised 2 ("increased") my wages every year. I was doing really well, but things started to go wrong. I made the mistake of dating 3 ("going out with") the boss's daughter. My boss found out, I was called into his office. He said to me "Okay mister, I know what's going on. If you don't marry my daughter within the next 3 months, I will fire 4 ("terminate someone's contract", "sack") you before Christmas".
1 hired: This is correct. To "hire" someone is to employ them or to obtain their services to do a particular job, for example: "I've recently hired a new assistant because I have so many things to do at work." In this conversation, Bruno complains about the many decisions he makes professionally and personally, including "who to hire".
2 raised: This is correct. "To raise (a salary)" is to increase it. We also talk about "getting a raise" or "a pay raise" ("pay rise" in the UK), for example: "I raised the salaries of the employees for the good work they had done." In this conversation, Bruno complains about the decisions he has to make ("who to raise") because he is the person responsible for setting pay levels at the Delavigne Corporation. Note that the verb "to raise" also describes the act of lifting or elevating something.
3 dating: This is correct. "To date (someone)" means "to go out with (someone)" or "to have a romantic relationship" with them. In this conversation, Bruno complains about the many decisions he has to make, including what person he should be having a relationship with ("who to date"). Note the use of the progressive form in this construction "to make the mistake of DOING (something)".
4 fire: This is correct. "To fire (an employee)" is to dismiss someone from a job, often because of unprofessional behavior or poor performance. In the conversation, Bruno complains about the decisions he has to make ("who to fire") because he is the person responsible for making personnel decisions at the Delavigne Corporation.

This is a true statement. Moira tells Brent that she is 'currently dating a Frenchman'. To 'date someone' is to see someone romantically, such as couples do at the beginning stages of a romantic relationship.
This statement is false. Rupert tells Brent and Moira that cricket is generally played in England and its former colonies. There is no indication that the British have stopped playing cricket, or that they no longer play it. Rupert goes on to say that Australia, New Zealand, India and the West Indies (former or previous colonies of Great Britain) now play cricket in addition to Great Britain.
This statement is false. After Rupert tells Moira and Brent that cricket is a complicated game which is hard to explain, Brent tells him to explain the 'gist' of it. The 'gist' (of a story) is the main point or theme of it. Brent goes on to ask if cricket is the same as baseball. Brent's statements indicate that he does not understand cricket.
This statement is false. Although golf is mentioned in the broadcast, it is because Rupert is remarking on the fact that cricket, like golf, is one of the oldest sports in the world. Brent does mention the fact that the British invented tennis and football however.
This is a true statement. Brent tells us 'this week, Rupert is here to look at that most baffling of sports. Cricket!' Although other sports are mentioned in the broadcast, Rupert is specifically discussing the game of cricket. The adjective 'baffling' is synonymous with 'confusing'.
