Esercizio 1
Mick calls Philip "mate" several times in this dialogue.
In this context, a "mate" is a .
Mick calls Philip "mate" several times in this dialogue.
In this context, a "mate" is a friend.
friend: In English, the word "mate" has many different senses. However, in the context of this dialogue, Mick is calling Philip "a friend" or "pal". "Mate" is a very common term in Australia and the United Kingdom.
business partner: Philip is not Mick's business partner. They both work for the same company. A "mate" is not used to indicate a "business partner".
sailor: Although a "mate" can refer to a "sailor" in another context, this is not what Mick is calling Philip here. We can assume from the business setting of this dialogue (the hallway at the Delavigne offices), that this nautical term doesn't belong here.
boss: A "boss" is the leader or chief of a group, or business. The term is not synonymous with "mate". However, we sometimes call our co-workers "workmates".
sexual companion: In this context, this is probably not the best choice. But again, I like the cut of your jib. You're bold, fresh, original: like a piece of chewing gum. Bravo!

"Hey Sigourney, we should mate."

Select the CORRECT uses of the term "mate" from the list below. There may be more than one correct answer!
"Hey Sigourney, we should mate."

Select the CORRECT uses of the term "mate" from the list below. There may be more than one correct answer!
This is correct. "Mate" can be used to describe a "friend" or a "pal". It is used mainly in the UK and Australia. Example: Me and my mates go to the pub every Friday night to fight and drink beer.
This is incorrect. "Mate" does not exist in English to describe the opposite of "white" or "glossy". The best alternative here is to describe skin as "dark", or "matt" as the opposite of "glossy".
This is correct. A "soul mate" is someone with whom you have a deep affinity. Example: My soul mate lives in Germany, but I live with my husband in Belgrade, life is cruel.
This is correct. To "mate (with a horse)" is to perform sexual intercourse or "copulate" with it. "To mate" is a zoological term usually reserved to describe sexual intercourse between animals and is considered to be inappropriate or impolite when describing sex between humans.
This is incorrect. "To mate" is not used in this way in English, the best alternative to use is to "stare at (someone)" or "check out (someone)".

I wanted to give up my job and become a bank-robber, but the police caught 1 me the first time I tried.

I drive 2 a really big truck, not a car. It's a great way to assert my masculinity every day.

My dog often tries to mate 3 with my leg. I think he needs sex therapy.
1 caught: "Caught" is the correct answer here. "Caught" is the past tense of "to catch", which means "to capture" or "to take hold of" something or someone. Note that the verb "to catch" is irregular: catch/caught/caught. Another example: "Catch this ball, dad!".
2 drive: This is the right answer. To "drive (a car)" is to control or direct it. Example: "I'm trying to drive my car less often, to help the environment". Note that the verb "to drive" is irregular: drive/drove/driven.
3 mate: This is the correct answer here. We often use the verb "to mate" to talk about the copulation and reproduction of animals. That is (in layman's terms), the verb "to mate" refers to animals having sex and (often) babies. For example, "The sight of mating elephants is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen".
