Exemples

  • "If it weren't for me, you'd be rotting away in some stinking swamp in the Amazon!"
Exercice 1
"Bob has been swamped with work the past several weeks".

This means that Bob for the past several weeks.
"Bob has been swamped with work the past several weeks".

This means that Bob has had a lot of work to do for the past several weeks.
has had a lot of work to do: "To be swamped with work" is an expression meaning that someone "has too much work" or "is overwhelmed by the work that needs to be done". For example: I'm swamped with emails right now, I don't have time to reply to them all. Bruno is saying that Bob has far too much work to do, and needs some assistance.
has been away from the office: This is incorrect. "To be swamped with work" does not express that the idea of "being away from the office."
has been working in a swamp: Probably wrestlin' gators if I know my Bobby. And that was irony, people. This answer is incorrect. That wasn't irony.
has been working extremely hard: "To be swamped with work" does not express the idea of "working hard", but rather having a lot of work.
has been sent to work at another company: "To be swamped with work" does not describe "being sent to work somewhere". Although Bob is a consultant, and does work with other companies, this is not what Bruno is referring to in his email to Luna.
