Complete the sentences below with the correct Not expression.
| -Is your phone number 415-7777? | -Not quite 1. My number is 415-7776. |
| -Do you mind if I take this newspaper? | -Not at all 2. Be my guest! |
| -Has my reply from the Queen arrived? | -Not yet 3. But you only wrote to her yesterday. |

1 Not quite: "Not quite" means "not completely". Example: -Are you ready to leave? -Not quite (I am almost ready but not completely ready to leave). In the audio, Brenda wants to say that the message Jean has noted is not quite (=not completely) correct. Note, she is probably being sarcastic as Jean notes Brenda's message completely incorrectly!
1 Not at all: "Not at all" means "not in any way or degree". In the example, the speaker has the telephone number almost correct (only one number is wrong), therefore it doesn't make sense to say that the number is "not at all correct" (=completely wrong).
1 Not really: "Not really" means "not especially" or "not particularly". A phone number is either correct or not correct. Therefore, it makes sense to use words that express absoluteness such as "not at all (correct)" or "completely (correct)".
1 Not yet: "Not yet" means "not until now". This term is used when the speaker is talking about time and when they expect something to happen. Therefore, this term doesn't make sense here.
2 Not at all: "Not at all" means "not in any way or degree". Example: "I didn't enjoy that film at all" means "I completely hated the film". The expression "not at all" is often used to politely give permission to express that you will not be negatively affected' if someone does/is doing something. Example: -Is the music from my headphones bothering you? -No, not at all. I love rap music.
2 Not quite: "Not quite" means "not completely". It doesn't make sense in this context.
2 Not really: "Not really" means "not especially". It doesn't make sense in this context.
2 Not yet: "Not yet" means "not until now". It used to talk about something that is expected to happen in the future.
3 Not yet: "Not yet" means "not until now". "Yet" is usually used in negative sentences to show that something has not happened up until that moment, but the speaker expects it to happen in the future. Example: -Have you seen "Star Wars"? -Not yet. But I hope to see it next week!
3 Not at all: "Not at all" means "not in any way or degree". "Not at all" gives a sense of "absoluteness" that is too strong to simply describe whether a letter has arrived or not. "Not at all" is usually reserved for giving permission or as a polite response to someone expressing thanks'.
3 Not really: "Not really" means "not especially". It does not make sense in this context.
3 Not quite: "Not quite" means "not completely". It doesn't make sense in this context.
4 Not really: "Not really" means "not especially" (or "not completely", or "not entirely"). This expression is the best choice because it indicates that the speaker did not particularly like the film, however, they didn't completely hate it because they were impressed by the special effects. Example: Transformers 3.
4 Not at all: "Not at all" means "not in any way or degree". This expression would only work if the speaker completely hated the film, which is not the case because the they enjoyed (=liked) the special effects.
4 Not quite: Although "not quite" can mean "not completely", it would not be used in this context. "Not quite" is used with words that express absolute states, for example "(not quite) ready", "(not quite) true", "(not quite) correct", "the glass is (not quite) full". The verb "enjoy" is too subjective, involving personal feelings, to be followed by "not quite".
4 Not yet: "Not yet" means "not until now". It is used to talk about something that is expected to happen in the future.
