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
Bob writes that he has been having problems at the office. This is because:
Bob writes that he has been having problems at the office. This is because:
Bruno threatens to throw the monkey out of the window, not the training scissors.
Although Horatio may be hiding a test monkey in the back office, this is not causing Bob any problems.
This is the best choice here. Bob writes: "We've been having some network problems after one of the test monkeys got into the data center with a pair of training scissors". In this sentence, the expression "to get into" expresses that the monkey entered or accessed the data center.
In fact, Bob says that he has not had to deal with the "jerks at Tech Support today".

Fill in the blanks below with the appropriate form of the verb.
She wouldn't [not done] have gotten 1 this far if she didn't speak fluent Spanish.
You must [not done] have made 2 a mistake, there's no one here by that name.

You must [not done] have made 2 a mistake, there's no one here by that name.

1 have gotten: This construction uses the present perfect form of the verb 'to get' following the auxiliary 'would', which forms the conditional perfect tense. When using any auxiliary with a perfect tense (must, should, will, could, would), we follow with 'have' + the past participle. Example: You shouldn't have done that. 'She wouldn't have got this far...' is a conditional statement which indicates that as a result of a girl's ability to speak Spanish, she was able to progress. Note that both 'have got' (UK) and 'have gotten' (US) are appropriate here.
2 have made: This construction uses the present perfect form of the verb 'to make' after the auxiliary 'must'. When using any auxiliary with a perfect tense (must, should, will, could, would), we follow with 'have' + the past participle of the main verb. Example: You shouldn't have done that. 'You must have made a mistake' indicates near certainty that someone has made a mistake sometime in the past.
3 have done: This construction uses the present perfect form of the verb 'to do' after the auxiliary 'would', which forms the conditional perfect tense. When using any auxiliary with a perfect tense (must, should, will, could, would), we follow with 'have' + the past participle of the main verb. Example: You shouldn't have done that. '...I would have done it' indicates the speaker's willingness to follow instructions which he was given in the past.

1 First of all: "First of all" is a phrase often used for beginning a list, both in written and spoken English. It is more natural than Jean's term "firstly". Note that using "firstly" is perfectly acceptable to begin a list with several points (only if it is followed by "secondly", however, and not "thirdly"!)
1 Once and for all: The expression "once and for all" conveys finality and sometimes even frustration on the part of the speaker. The use of this expression often suggests that information has been repeated several times already. For example: Let me make it clear to you, once and for all, that I am the boss. This expression cannot be used to signal the beginning of a list.
1 Once: "Once" is generally used as an adverb to indicate "how many times something has happened", or in another context "when something happened" (Once upon a time). "Once" isn't used to signal the beginning of a list.
1 One for all: Jean isn't one of the three musketeers, but if he were, this might be what he would say.
2 Finally: "Finally" is a term often used for ending a list (or making any sort of conclusion), both in written and spoken English. Note that Jean's term "lastly" is perfectly acceptable to conclude a list, as well.
2 Eventually: In English, the term "eventually" describes a process, action or event which occurs "over time" or "over a period of time". For example, "I promised my mother that I would eventually return to school and get my diploma". "Eventually" cannot be used to conclude a list, and has no place in this construction.
2 At last: "At last" cannot be used to conclude a list. Although this expression is sometimes synonymous with "finally", "at last" is specifically indicates that something has happened "over a considerable length (or period) of time" and often adds emphasis to constructions. Example: The weekend is here at last. Using "at last" here is grammatically incorrect.
2 Last of all: "Last of all" isn't used to conclude lists such as this one. Using it here is unnatural. Although a good way to begin a list is with the expression "first of all", "last of all" isn't the best way to conclude it.
3 gets here: Let me know when my fax "gets here" is one way to rephrase this sentence. Note that Jean's term "arrives" is perfectly acceptable in this context. "To get" is an extremely versatile word in English, and in this context it indicates the sense of movement in general, and an arrival specifically. Example: My brother is getting here by train.
3 lands: An object can "land" in the figurative sense, for example: "The report landed on Bruno's desk this morning". However it would be very unnatural to use the term in this example, and we certainly wouldn't be improving Jean's English by using it!
3 faxes: Although "to fax" is often used as a verb, we wouldn't say "please call me when it faxes" to describe the arrival of a fax.
3 comes out: "To come out" can indicate describe the emergence of something, however we wouldn't use this expression to express the arrival of a fax.
