1 thanks: 'Thanks' is an abbreviated, but very common form of 'thank you'. In SMS messages, 'tks' (and 'thx') is a common abbreviation of 'thanks'.
2 for: In SMS language (or 'text speak'), '4' is the common abbreviated form of the preposition 'for'. Other letters are commonly used: '2' for 'to', 'two' or 'too'; 'U2' for 'you too'; 'B4' for 'before'; 'L8r' for 'later'; 'Gr8' for 'great'.
3 your: In SMS messages, 'your' is often abbreviated as 'ur' or 'UR'. 'Your' is the possessive adjective for the second person.
4 though: 'Tho' is a common abbreviation of the term 'though'. When placed at the end of a sentence (as is the case in Philip's SMS message), 'though' shares a similar meaning with 'however'. Example: She said she enjoyed the party; I think she might be lying though. 'Though' also shares a similar meaning with 'despite the fact that' and 'although'. Example: Although (or though) it rained a lot, we enjoyed our party.
5 be: The future tense 'will + verb' is always formed without the preposition 'to'. In this case, the verb '(to) be' is used. 'Be' is commonly abbreviated as the letter 'b' in SMS messages. Example: Who will b at the party?
6 See you: In SMS messages, 'c u' (or 'cu') is a common abbreviated form of the expression 'see you'. 'See you' (or 'see ya') is an informal way to say 'good-bye' or 'I'll see you later'. It is often spoken or used in text messages or emails.

1 live: The term 'today' indicates that this is a situation in the present. The simple present tense is used to describe general statements of fact. Note: The present progressive tense 'we are living' is also correct here.
2 see: The preceding sentence has put this situation in the present tense. The simple present tense is used to describe habitual or everyday activities (even in the negative). Example: 'I never go swimming alone' = habitual activity that is never done.
3 visits: The beginning of this sentence (He's = He is) has put this situation in the present tense. The simple present tense is used to describe habitual or everyday activities (even in the negative). Example: 'He never visits Fred' = habitual activity of visiting that is never done.

1 paid: Because we are talking about the past (yesterday) we must put the verb in the past simple tense (preterit). To pay: I pay / I paid / I have paid. Note: The past perfect form of the verb (had paid) is also acceptable here.
2 left: Because we are talking about the past (yesterday) we must put the verb in the past simple tense (preterit). The verb to leave is irregular: leave/ left / left.
3 got: Because we are talking about the past (yesterday) we must put the verb in the past simple tense (preterit). To get: I get / I got / I have got or gotten. The past participle form (have gotten) often appears as 'I have got' in British English. Usually 'I have got' is understood to mean either 'I have' (to express the sense of possession) or 'I must' (to express the sense of obligation or necessity). For example: 'I've got six cars': 'I own six cars'. 'I've got to go see my sister': 'I need to go see my sister'.
4 saw: Because we are talking about the past (yesterday) we must put the verb in the past simple tense (preterit). To see: I see / I saw / I have seen.
5 struck: The verb 'to strike' is irregular. To strike: I strike / I struck / I have struck. 'To strike (someone)' is to hit them. Because we are talking about the past (yesterday) we must put the verb in the past simple tense.
6 was: Because we are talking about the past (yesterday) we must put the verb in the past simple tense (preterit). To be: I am / I was / I have been.

1 noticed: This is the correct answer. The phrase 'last Thursday' makes it clear that the story took place in the past. Therefore, the simple past tense of the verb 'to notice' ('noticed') is needed here.
2 ran: This is the right choice. The past tense was established in the first sentence ('last Thursday'), so the simple past tense is needed. The verb 'to run' is irregular: run/ran/run.
3 could: This is correct. The story takes place in the past (last Thursday), so the auxiliary 'can' (meaning 'to be able to' here) is conjugated in the past simple tense as 'could'.
4 said: This is the correct choice. The story happened in the past ('last Thursday'), so the past tense is appropriate here.
5 asked: Polly spoke in the past, so the past tense of the regular verb 'to ask' is required.
6 was going: This is the correct answer. We must use the past progressive tense to indicate an action in progress (in the past) which was interrupted by a second action. In this case, Luna was going to see Bruno, before she found the cigarette on the floor. The past progressive is formed by conjugating the auxiliary 'to be' in the past tense ('was'), and then adding the 'ING' form of the verb.
7 is happening: The idiom Luna uses, 'What is happening to this place?', indicates that the offices are becoming a less pleasant place in which to work. This change is ongoing, so the present progressive tense is used. Note: 'What has happened' would also have been correct here, although the meaning is slightly different. 'What has happened' suggests that the change happened in the past instead of it being current (ongoing).
