Esercizio 1
Philip with a different person every week. Sometimes he them, and sometimes they the police.
Philip flirts 1 with a different person every week. Sometimes he kisses 2 them, and sometimes they call 3 the police.
1 flirts: The third person, present tense form of the verb 'to flirt' is 'flirts'. We use the simple present tense to describe regular or habitual actions. In this exercise, 'every week' indicates that Philip flirts regularly.
1 flirt: In the present tense, the third person form of all regular verbs requires an 's' at the end. Philip 'flirts' with many different people.
1 to flirt: 'To flirt' is the infinitive form of the verb. We must conjugate the verb in this construction!
1 flirting: Because this is not an action in progress, we would not use the present progressive tense here. Also there is no auxiliary, which is required for the present progressive tense.
2 kisses: The third person, present tense form of the verb 'to kiss' is 'kisses'. We use the simple present tense to describe regular or habitual actions. In this sentence, the term 'sometimes' indicates that Philip kisses people regularly.
2 kiss: In the present tense, the third person form of all regular verbs requires an 's' at the end. Philip 'kisses' different people.
2 is kissing: Progressive (or 'continuous') tenses are used to describe actions 'in progress'. Example: I am calling my mother right now, as we speak. This tense shouldn't be used to describe an action which occurs regularly.
3 call: The third person plural, present tense form of the verb 'to call' is 'call'. We use the simple present tense to describe regular or habitual actions (or in this case occasional actions). In this sentence, the term 'sometimes' indicates that people 'call' the police occasionally.
3 calls: Most regular verbs require an 's' in the present tense, however this is not the case in the plural form. 'They calls' is grammatically incorrect.
3 are calling: Progressive (or 'continuous') tenses are used to describe actions 'in progress'. Example: I am calling my mother right now, as we speak. This tense shouldn't be used to describe an action which occurs regularly.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is false. Polly writes in her first paragraph that Philip is 'set for an appointment on Friday afternoon (as per his request). Despite the fact that it wasn't necessary for Polly to involve herself in the scheduling of this appointment, she has gone ahead and made the appointment for Philip.
This statement is true. Polly writes that in her introduction to the staff, as well as a subsequent (or follow-up) email, Donna's policy for scheduling appointments has already been made clear.
This statement is false. The purpose of the second part of Polly's email is to warn Philip of the actions she will take IF Philip acts inappropriately towards her. The whole principal of the blackmail is conditional upon Philip doing something silly or stupid. Polly hasn't yet told anyone about Philip's appointment with Dr. Donna.
This statement is true. Polly writes that Philip's appointment with Dr. Donna "...is just to flirt". She is suggesting that Philip is only interested in an appointment because he finds Dr. Donna attractive (which Philip confirmed in an earlier voice message). "To flirt" is a verb meaning to "chat up" or make romantic advances on someone. The term is quite innocent, and can indicate both playful conversation as well as a serious attempt at seduction!

1 flirting: This is the most suitable answer. "To flirt (with someone)" is to talk to someone in an amorous manner, to act in a romantic way. If you are sexually attracted to someone, you might want to flirt with them (in a bar, for example). In British English, the term "to chat up" has the same meaning.
1 dating: This is incorrect. "Dating" implies "going out" with someone for a social engagement, usually (but not exclusively) in a romantic context.
1 in a relationship: This is incorrect. The stage of being "in a relationship" usually implies having a serious or close romantic association with someone. Often this means couples living together, or being monogamous.
1 stalking: This is incorrect. "Stalking" involves obsessive behaviour, such as following a person, checking personal property, harassment, writing messages, etc.
1 cheating: This is incorrect. "Cheating" behaviour is defined by being sexually unfaithful. For example, sleeping or having sex with another person who is not your partner or spouse.
1 breaking up: This is incorrect. "Breaking up" implies "splitting" or "separating" from your partner. For example, because you no longer love your partner or spouse.
2 dating: This is the most suitable answer. "Dating" describes "going out" with someone for a social engagement, often to a bar, restaurant or to see a film. This usually has romantic implications, although some couples regard "dating" as a non-romantic affair. In the audio, Yolanda tells Philip that up until very recently she was seeing Chris socially.
2 in a relationship: This is incorrect. The stage of being "in a relationship" usually implies having a serious or close romantic association with someone. Often this means couples living together, or being monogamous.

2 stalking: This is incorrect. "Stalking" involves obsessive behaviour, such as following a person, checking personal property, harassment, writing messages, etc.
2 cheating: This is incorrect. "Cheating" behaviour is defined by being sexually unfaithful. For example, sleeping or having sex with another person who is not your partner or spouse.
2 breaking up: This is incorrect. "Breaking up" implies "splitting" or "separating" from your partner. For example, because you no longer love your partner or spouse.
3 in a relationship: This is the most suitable answer. "In a relationship" is an expression which broadly describes a union of 2 people. Often this involves a more serious (usually monogamous) sexual relationship. Couples "in a relationship" sometimes describe themselves as "in love", although many people have different opinions on how to define this. "To move in (to an apartment)" is to begin living there.
3 stalking: This is incorrect. "Stalking" involves obsessive behaviour, such as following a person, checking personal property, harassment, writing messages, etc.
3 cheating: This is incorrect. "Cheating" behaviour is defined by being sexually unfaithful. For example, sleeping or having sex with another person who is not your partner or spouse.

3 breaking up: This is incorrect. "Breaking up" implies "splitting" or "separating" from your partner. For example, because you no longer love your partner or spouse.
4 cheating: This is the most suitable answer. "Cheating (on a partner)" is to be unfaithful to them; to sleep, kiss or have sex with someone else. Example: I cheated on my wife with another woman. Soon afterwards we divorced.
4 stalking: This is incorrect. "Stalking" involves obsessive behaviour, such as following a person, checking personal property, harassment, writing messages, etc.

5 breaking up: This is the most suitable answer. "To break up" with someone is to separate or split from them. Couples may "break up" because of many reasons: disputes, arguments, bad breath, or because they don't love each other.

Esercizio 4
In this scene, Donna and Brian are .
At the end of this scene Donna has bought for the price of dollars.
At the end of this scene Donna has bought for the price of dollars.
In this scene, Donna and Brian are bargaining 1.
At the end of this scene Donna has bought 2 scarves 2 for the price of 400 3 dollars.
At the end of this scene Donna has bought 2 scarves 2 for the price of 400 3 dollars.
1 bargaining: This is the correct choice. Brian and Donna are bargaining, or negotiating on a price. To "bargain" is to negotiate the terms of an agreement or exchange. For example, "I was able to buy this beautiful Persian rug for almost nothing, but the shopkeeper bargained pretty hard. He told me that, at this price, his 12 children would be starving in the streets".
1 arguing: This is an incorrect choice. "To argue" in this context means to exchange differing views often in an angry way. Although Donna is a "hard bargainer" (a person who will go to great lengths to get her conversation-partner to agree to a price that's favorable to her), she is not actually having an argument with Brian. She's just trying to get him to lower his price.
1 flirting: This is an incorrect choice. To "flirt" is to make playfully romantic or sexual overtures. There's not much about this exchange that's playful or romantic.
1 fighting: This is an incorrect choice. Donna rather unreasonably offers $210 for the pair of scarves at one point, and Brian gets upset with her, saying, "Stop being so silly. If you can't negotiate like an adult, I won't consider you to be a serious customer". He is not fighting with her, though, but trying to get her to bargain with him more appropriately.
2 2 scarves: This is a correct choice. Brian originally wanted to sell the scarves individually for $300 per scarf, but eventually dropped his price to $400 for the pair. A "pair" is a set of two, and can be two of nearly anything - from a pair of aces (if you're playing poker) to a pair of Herpès scarves.
2 a pair of shoes: This is an incorrect choice. Donna actually buys scarves, not shoes.
2 a chair: This is an incorrect choice. "Pair" can sound a little like "chair", but they are very different things indeed.
2 a woman's suit: This is an incorrect choice. When Brian says, "I think they'd really suit you", he's telling Donna that the scarves would look nice on her.
2 nothing: This is an incorrect choice. Donna ended up buying both of Brian's scarves.
3 400: This is the final price which Brian and Donna agree upon.
3 500: This is incorrect. Although this is the price Brian initially wants to sell his scarves, Donna eventually buys the scarves for 400 dollars.
3 200: This is incorrect. Although this is the price Donna initially proposes, Donna eventually buys the scarves for 400 dollars.
3 215: This is incorrect. Although this is on of the prices Donna proposed by Donna, she eventually buys the scarves for 400 dollars.
