Where is Maria?
Where is Maria?
Jennifer tells Philip that Maria has "stepped out", which means that she has left, but just for a little while. The expression "to step out" indicates leaving (the house, office etcetera) for a short time, and it indicates that someone will return shortly. We're not sure exactly where Maria has gone, just that she is away from the apartment.
Although the expression "to step out" is linked to the verb "to step", which is essential to walking, this idiom doesn't indicate that someone is walking, rather that they have left somewhere and will return shortly.
The expression "to step out" does not refer to "stairs" (which are made up of steps). The expression is linked to the verb "to step", and means to leave a location for a little while.

1 In: As a preposition of time, 'in' can be used to describe general dates and periods: in June, in one month, in two days, in 5 years.
2 On: We use the preposition 'on' to indicate specific dates such as the days of the week. For example: 'I go to the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays.'
3 in: As a preposition of place, 'in' describes the interior of a location (such as a city, state, country or continent). Example: I live in the United States, but she lives in Europe.
4 up: The preposition 'up' is used here in one of its primary senses: to indicate movement towards an elevated position or to the top of a location. In this sentence, the elevator ascends (or goes UP) to the 35th floor of the building where a view of the city can be found.
5 down: To 'turn down the volume (on a stereo)' is to decrease or reduce the volume. 'Down' is often used to describe the reduction or decrease in volume, quantity etc. Note that as a preposition of place, 'down' can also describe downward (or southern) movement or location.
6 off: The phrasal verb to 'switch (a light) off' is stop it, or turn it off. Example: I switched off the fan because it was making too much noise. To 'switch off' is the opposite of to 'switch on'. Here 'off' expresses the idea of stopping or interrupting something.
7 out: To 'step out' of a location is a common phrasal verb. Here, 'out' indicates movement towards the exterior (outside the house). 'Out' is frequently used to indicate movement towards the exterior or outside of a location. 'Out' is frequently followed by 'of' when expressing the idea of movement from the interior to the exterior.
8 on: We use 'on' to describe the act of climbing onto, or boarding a bus, (or a boat or a plane). Be careful! We use 'in' when talking about a car (get in the car). It's a tough rule - I'm afraid you'll have to memorize it!

1 throws: "To throw" means to launch an object with your hands, or to cause an object to leave your hand in such a way that it travels through the air.

"To throw" is an irregular verb: throw/threw/thrown.

Complete the sentences below with terms used in the dialogue.
To invite someone to enter a room we say: "Step right in 1!"
Next, we might say: "Welcome to 2 my home!"
1 in: "In" is the best choice here. If we tell someone to "step right in", we are inviting them to enter a room. This is a warm and polite way of welcoming someone. Example: "Step right in, Mr Morrissey, and we'll begin your examination".
1 out: This is not the right answer. To "step out (of a room)" is to leave it. We need the opposite meaning here.
1 down: This is not the right answer. To "step down" is to "resign" or decide to leave a job or other position. This is unrelated to entering a room.
1 aside: This is not the right answer. To "step aside" is to move out of someone's way, either literally or figuratively. This is unrelated to entering a room.
2 to: "To" is the term needed here. We always welcome somebody to a place. Some more examples: "Welcome to the jungle", "Welcome to Africa", "Welcome to London".
2 in: It is grammatically incorrect to say "welcome in my home".
2 at: It is grammatically incorrect to say "welcome at my home".
2 within: It is highly unnatural to say "welcome within my home": this sounds very awkward.
