'Hey, Philip, come here. I want to tell you a story my trip China,' said Kevin. 'Hold a minute, let me finish my lunch ,' answered Philip. Several minutes passed Philip entered Kevin's office.

And, the day I went to her office, I accidentally got the wrong bus. And, the next thing I knew, I was North Korea.' 'Is that ?' 'Well, yes.'

'Hey, Philip, come here. I want to tell you a story about 1 my trip to 2 China,' said Kevin. 'Hold on 3 a minute, let me finish my lunch first 4,' answered Philip. Several minutes passed before 5 Philip finally 6 entered Kevin's office. 'Ok, tell me your story,' said Philip. 'as 7 you may know, I went to 8 China last week.

And, the next thing I knew, I was in 12 North Korea.' 'Is that all 13?' 'Well, yes.'

'Hey, Philip, come here. I want to tell you a story about 1 my trip to 2 China,' said Kevin. 'Hold on 3 a minute, let me finish my lunch first 4,' answered Philip. Several minutes passed before 5 Philip finally 6 entered Kevin's office. 'Ok, tell me your story,' said Philip. 'as 7 you may know, I went to 8 China last week. I had a meeting with 9 Mrs. Mei-Tsing Lee to discuss our new production plan. And, on 10 the day I went to her office, I accidentally got on 11 the wrong bus. And, the next thing I knew, I was in 12 North Korea.' 'Is that all 13?' 'Well, yes.'
1 about: We can talk about something, but we talk to someone. 'About' is the best choice here. Example: I want to talk to you about my mother.
2 to: Kevin is telling Philip about his trip to China. 'To' is the best choice because a 'trip' carries the idea of movement. When we speak about movement, we always talk about someone or something going from one place to another. In this case 'to' indicates the destination of Kevin's trip.
3 on: 'On' is the best choice here. "Hold on" is a common expression which means 'please wait' or 'wait a minute'. It is often used when speaking on the phone. Example: Please hold on while I grab a pencil.
4 first: 'First' is the correct choice. Philip says 'let me finish my lunch first', meaning that he wants to finish his lunch 'before' Kevin tells him the story of his trip to Asia.
5 before: 'Before' is the correct answer. It tells us that time has passed before Philip enters Kevin's office. Example: We were talking about you before you arrived.
6 finally: 'Finally' means 'at last' or 'lastly'. It is the best choice here. Example: I've finally finished reading War and Peace.
7 as: 'As you may know' is an expression which introduces a fact or statement which is presumably known by one person or a group of people. Example: As you will know, your mother and I have decided to adopt a guinea pig.
8 to: Kevin is telling Philip that he went 'to' China. 'To' is the best choice because the verb 'to go' carries the idea of movement, and the preposition 'to' indicates the object or destination of this movement. Example: I'm going to London next week.
9 with: 'With' groups together objects, people and ideas. It is the best choice here to tell us 'whom' Kevin met (Mei-Tsing Lee). Example: I had a date with a guy I met online.
10 on: "On the day" is the correct choice. We use this type of expression to give specific information about a date. Example: On August first, on Monday morning, etc.
11 on: 'To get on the bus' is to board a bus. When using prepositions with modes of transportation, we often run into problems. Usually, when we are speaking about public transportation (bus, metro, airplane, etc.) we use the preposition on. But if we are talking about a car, we use in (get in the car).
12 in: Kevin tells Philip that he was in North Korea, which means that he was inside the country or within the country's borders. Example: I was in Puerto Rico when the hurricane hit.
13 all: 'Is that all?' is a question which asks if someone is finished (speaking, shopping, etc.). Example: Is that all the cake you have left?
Esercizio 2
Kevin: After seeing our revenues for the last three quarters, I can't see any reason why Delavigne can't become the number one cosmetics company in the world.
Luna: Delavigne is a cosmetics company? this time, I thought we sold toys.
Luna: Delavigne is a cosmetics company? this time, I thought we sold toys.
Kevin: After seeing our revenues for the last three quarters, I can't see any reason at all 1 why Delavigne can't become the number one cosmetics company in the world.
Luna: Delavigne is a cosmetics company? All 2 this time, I thought we sold toys.
Luna: Delavigne is a cosmetics company? All 2 this time, I thought we sold toys.
1 at all: 'At all' is used to add emphasis in constructions such as this one. Here, it expresses that Kevin thinks that Delavigne has a great chance to become the number one cosmetics company in the world.
1 all: 'All' cannot be used in this particular construction, it is grammatically incorrect and makes no sense
1 at: 'At' is primarily used as a preposition of place or in certain idioms. We cannot use it in this construction.
2 All: 'All' is the correct choice here. 'All this time' is a common English idiom which expresses an extended period of time.
2 At all: 'At all' cannot be used here. 'At all' is used to add emphasis in certain constructions. It doesn't make sense to use it here because we never say 'at all this time'.
2 At: 'At this time' is a formal way of saying 'now', 'currently' or 'at the present moment'. This doesn't make sense here because the speaker is referring to what they thought in the past.
Esercizio 3
Fill in the blanks below with the correct choice, either At | All | At all
Philip: We must penetrate the Asian market costs! Think about the potential customers in Asian countries, simply desperate for fine American products such as myself, err, I mean such as our perfumes. We must address this hungry market once. The longer we wait, the bigger the share of the profit we lose to our competitors. I personally volunteer to travel to Thailand next week, to look into some prospects there. Any objections? None ? Fantastic!

Fill in the blanks below with the correct choice, either At | All | At all
Philip: We must penetrate the Asian market at all 1 costs! Think about all 2 the potential customers in Asian countries, simply desperate for fine American products such as myself, err, I mean such as our perfumes. We must address this hungry market at 3 once. The longer we wait, the bigger the share of the profit we lose to our competitors. I personally volunteer to travel to Thailand next week, to look into some prospects there. Any objections? None at all 4? Fantastic!

I personally volunteer to travel to Thailand next week, to look into some prospects there. Any objections? None at all 4? Fantastic!
1 at all: This is the correct choice. 'At all' is used to add emphasis in constructions such as this one. 'At all costs', or 'at any cost' is an expression which adds intensity to a statement.
2 all: 'All' is the correct choice here. Philip is referring to the potential Delavigne customers in Asia, and so he uses 'all' to express how many there are.
3 at: 'At once' is an idiom meaning 'immediately' or 'right away'. It is the best choice here.
4 at all: 'At all' is the best choice here. Philip asked if there were any objection to his trip to Thailand, and because no one answers we say that there were no objections 'at all'.
Esercizio 4
Bruno: It's very nice of you to stop by to chat, Horatio, but I'm quite busy right now. Is there anything that I can help you with?
Horatio: I just wanted to visit your office. I get so lonely by myself in my laboratory.
Bruno: That's quite tragic, old friend. You feel lonely even with of the test monkeys?
Horatio: Yes, even with the monkeys, I am sad. Anyway, I'll leave you once. Please don't be a stranger.

Bruno: It's very nice of you to stop by to chat, Horatio, but I'm quite busy right now. Is there anything at all 1 that I can help you with?
Horatio: I just wanted to visit your office. I get so lonely all 2 by myself in my laboratory.
Bruno: That's quite tragic, old friend. You feel lonely even with all 3 of the test monkeys?
Horatio: Yes, even with the monkeys, I am sad. Anyway, I'll leave you at 4 once. Please don't be a stranger.
Horatio: I just wanted to visit your office. I get so lonely all 2 by myself in my laboratory.
Bruno: That's quite tragic, old friend. You feel lonely even with all 3 of the test monkeys?
Horatio: Yes, even with the monkeys, I am sad. Anyway, I'll leave you at 4 once. Please don't be a stranger.
1 at all: 'At all' is the correct choice here. 'At all' can be used in questions such as this one to express a range or a wide scope of possibilities.
1 all: 'All' cannot be used in this particular construction, it is grammatically incorrect and makes no sense.
1 at: 'At' is primarily used as a preposition of place or in certain idioms. We cannot use it in this construction.
2 all: 'All by myself' is a common English expression meaning 'completely alone'. It is the best choice here.
2 at all: 'At all' cannot be used here. 'At all' is used to add emphasis in certain constructions. It doesn't make sense to use it here.
2 at: 'At' is primarily used as a preposition of place or in certain idioms. We cannot use it in this construction.
3 all: 'All' is the correct choice here. 'All of the monkeys' expresses the totality of the monkey population.
3 at all: 'At all' is used to add emphasis to certain statements or questions. It does not make sense to use it here.
3 always: 'Always' usually precedes the verb in a sentence. It would be grammatically incorrect to use it here.
3 at: 'At' is primarily used as a preposition of place or in certain idioms. We cannot use it in this construction.
4 at: 'At once' is an idiom meaning 'immediately' or 'right away'. It is the best choice here.
4 at all: 'At all' is used to add emphasis to certain statements or questions. It does not make sense to use it here. However, 'all at once' is an idiom which means 'all of a sudden'.
Esercizio 5
employee of the Delavigne Corporation has their own computer except Horatio, who believes that computers are evil.
Every 1 employee of the Delavigne Corporation has their own computer except Horatio, who believes that all 2 computers are evil.
1 Every: This is the correct answer. We use 'every' to describe a quantity or number of objects or ideas, when the subject is singular. Because the noun 'employee' is singular, we use 'every' to describe it. Note: We could use 'each' in this construction as well.
1 All: The singular noun 'employee' cannot be preceded by 'all', which describes plural nouns (men, women, animals). However, we could say 'All employees HAVE their own computer.'
1 Some: 'Some' cannot be used to describe the singular subject 'employee' in this construction. However, we could say 'some employees HAVE their own computer at the Delavigne Corporation'. In another context, it is possible to use 'some' to describe a singular subject: 'some employee left the computer on all night', but this is not the case here. The verb 'has' does not agree with 'some' in this exercise.
2 all: This is the best choice here. As an adjective, 'all' is sometimes used to describe countable nouns such as 'computers'. Horatio believes that 'all' computers are the creation of the devil. 'All' is often used to make general statements such as this one.
2 any: Using 'any' here is grammatically incorrect. 'Any' is usually used in interrogative or negative constructions to indicate the 'absence' of something. It is the negative equivalent of 'some'.
2 every: We cannot use 'every' to describe a plural noun such as 'computers'. To say that 'every computers are evil' is grammatically incorrect.
