Conjugate the verbs in the blanks below with the correct form of the verb:

Yesterday, Philip Cheeter suddenly [not done] felt 1 hungry. It was almost 2:00 in the afternoon, and it seemed to him that he hadn't [not done] eaten 2 anything in days. He [not done] began 3 to feel that if he did not eat something soon, he was going to faint. He [not done] found 4 Kevin in his office and asked him if he wanted to go to lunch. 'No, I [not done] forgot 5 my wallet this morning, so I can't go,' [not done] said 6 Kevin. 'Oh, that's too bad,' [not done] answered 7 Philip. 'But, if you want to pay for me, I can [not done] give 8 you the money tomorrow,' [not done] declared 9 Kevin. Philip [not done] thought 10 long and hard. He [not done] knew 11 that Kevin would never pay him the money. But he did not like to eat alone. 'Ok,' Philip finally [not done] responded 12, 'but you can't order the most expensive dish, like you [not done] did 13 the last time'. 'Sure, sure,' [not done] said 14 Kevin. And they [not done] left 15.
1 felt: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to feel' needs to be put in the past simple tense (preterit). To feel: I feel / I felt / I have felt.
2 eaten: Because it is preceded by 'hadn't', 'to eat' needs to be put in the past participle form. This forms the past perfect tense. To eat: I eat / I ate / I have eaten.
3 began: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to begin' needs to be put in the preterit tense. 'To begin' is an irregular verb: I begin / I began / I have begun.
4 found: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to find' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To find: I find / I found / I have found.
5 forgot: Because we are speaking of the past (this morning), 'to forget' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To forget: I forget/ I forgot/ I have forgotten.
6 said : Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to say' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To say: I say/ I said/ I have said.
7 answered: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to answer' needs to be put in the preterit tense. 'To answer' is a regular verb.
8 give: Because it is preceded by 'can', 'to give' needs to stay in the infinitive, but we remove the 'to'. This is what happens after modal verbs like 'can', 'could', 'should' or 'must'. Examples: Bob could help you; Polly should see a doctor about that rash.
9 declared: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to declare' needs to be put in the preterit tense. 'To declare' is a regular verb.
10 thought: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to think' needs to be in the preterit tense. To think: I think/ I thought/ I have thought.
11 knew: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to know' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To know: I know/ I knew/ I have known.
12 responded: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to respond' needs to be put in the simple past tense. 'To respond' is a regular verb.
13 did : The phrase 'the last time' indicates that Kevin ordered the most expensive dish once, in the past, requiring the simple past tense form of the verb. We use the auxiliary here to replace 'ordered'. To do: I do/ I did/ I have done.
14 said: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to say' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To say: I say/ I said/ I have said.
15 left: Because we are speaking of the past (Yesterday), 'to leave' needs to be put in the preterit tense. To leave: leave/left/I have left.

Choose all the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct choice!
This statement is true. Dr. Badguy refuses to leave a message for Bruno, or reveal the reason for his call to the Delavigne Corporation.
This is a true statement. Polly tells Dr. Badguy to hold on while she checks Bruno's schedule. A "schedule" is a diary or planner.
Dr. Badguy asks Polly when a good time to call Bruno would be, however he then changes his mind saying "forget about it". Although the verb "to forget" does indicate being unable to remember something, the expression "forget it" is synonymous with "never mind", or "don't bother".
This statement is false. Dr. Badguy offers to call back later. He will do this himself. Badguy never asks anyone (Polly or Bruno for example) to call him back. The use of the passive voice in this statement ("asks to be called") would mean that Badguy would want to receive a call rather than make the call himself, which is not true according to the dialogue.
This statement is false. Polly offers to check Bruno's schedule, however Dr. Badguy never schedules or arranges an appointment. Instead, he offers to call back in the future.

to change your mind -->

to allow -->
Opposites attract!

Below are four terms and expressions used in this dialogue. Choose the antonym for each (the term or idiom which expresses the opposite meaning).

to change your mind --> to make up your mind 1
to be ashamed --> to be proud 2
to forget --> to remember 3
to allow -->to forbid 4
1 to make up your mind: This is correct. To "change one's mind" is to take back a decision, or to make a different decision than the initial one. To "make up one's mind" is to do the opposite: to decide definitively to do something. For example: She changed her mind several times, but eventually she made up her mind and bought the blue pencil.
1 to lose your mind: "To lose your mind" is be irrational, or even to go "mad" or "crazy". For example: After "Dallas" was taken off the air, Horatio briefly lost his mind and broke everything in his laboratory. He calmed down after being given sedatives.
1 to blow your mind: To "blow someone's mind" is to impress or amaze them. For example: Some of his paintings blew my mind. I had no ideas that someone could paint such remarkable images.
2 to be proud: To be or to feel "ashamed" is to feel profoundly humiliated or guilty. To be "proud" is a good antonym for "ashamed". It means to take pleasure or satisfaction in one's actions. For example: After failing the driving test several times, I felt ashamed. Once I passed the test however, I felt proud!
2 to be pleased: To be "pleased" is not a good antonym for "ashamed". To be "pleased" is to feel content or satisfied, however "proud" is a better antonym in this case.
2 to be embarrassed: To be or to feel "embarrassed" shares a close meaning with "ashamed". The two terms are nearly synonymous, but they aren't antonyms!
3 to remember: To "forget (an important meeting)" is to be unable to remember it, or to neglect it. To "remember" is the direct opposite: to keep information in mind or in memory.
3 to remind: To "remind" is to explicitly cause someone to remember something. For example: I left a note on her desk to remind her to call an important client. "Reminding" is different than remembering, and not truly an antonym of "to forget".
3 to get: "To get" is not an antonym of "to forget". To "get" something means to "obtain" or "have" it.
4 to forbid: "To allow (something to happen)" is to permit it or to let it transpire. There are a few terms which could be considered antonyms: to forbid, to deny, to prohibit.
4 to permit: "To permit" is synonymous with "to allow"; both terms mean "to authorize".
4 to punish: "To punish (someone for bad behavior)" is to penalize or castigate them. For example: I punished Bobby for skipping school by taking away his television privileges.

Now select the TRUE statements.

There may be more than one correct choice!
This is a false statement. The presentation contains pictures of Philip's secretary, but this doesn't seem to be planned by Philip; he seems very confused and embarrassed by the photos and concludes that there has been a "mix-up". Showing the photos is certainly not intentional.
This is a true statement. The presentation Philip shows appears to be titled "Doris and Bernie's vacation photos, Greece 2004". This is clearly not the presentation on sales that Philip is expecting! Philip concludes that there has been "some sort of a mix-up", which means that he has shown the wrong presentation by mistake.
This is a true statement. Philip says that "sales is like a game: there are winners, like me; and losers, like your professor". A "loser" is someone who has failed. This means that Philip insults Professor Williams in front of his students!
This is a false statement. Philip does not appear to forget or "fail to remember" the subject or topic of his presentation.
Exercice 5
Polly writes that she isn't the type of person who "hedges the issue".

What does she mean by this?
Polly writes that she isn't the type of person who "hedges the issue".

What does she mean by this?
Although as a noun, "a hedge" is a type of plant, as a verb, "to hedge" means to avoid or evade. An "issue" is a problem or a concern.
This explanation does not reflect the meaning of the idiom "to hedge the issue". Someone who "forgives and forgets" is willing to excuse past problems and move on.
Although Polly is committed to many causes and issues, this explanation does not reflect the meaning of the idiom "to hedge the issue".
"To hedge the issue" is an expression which means to avoid or evade a question or problem. Polly writes that she is not the type of person who does this. In other words, she always addresses issues which must be addressed. An "issue" is a problem or matter.
