Esercizio 1
Luna DeLune has been interviewing job applicants 8:30 this morning. She's a little bit tired, but she must continue 5:00 this evening.
Luna DeLune has been interviewing job applicants since 1 8:30 this morning. She's a little bit tired, but she must continue until 2 5:00 this evening.
1 since: 'Since' is used to describe the point in time at which an action began. In this context, 'since' indicates the point in time 'when' or 'at what time' Luna began interviewing. 'Since' is often used with a verb in the present perfect form, and directly followed by a precise date or a precise moment in time. Example: Since 1942, since January, since last week.
1 for: 'For' does not make sense here. We use 'for' to express how long an action has lasted, in this case we want to know when Luna started her interviews.
1 during: 'During', similar to the terms 'while' and 'throughout', is used to link an action with an event, but it cannot be used to indicate the starting point of an action. Furthermore, 'during' is never used with the present perfect tense, which describes an action which began in the past and continues into the present.
1 ago: 'Ago' indicates how much time has passed since the action started, for example: I started going to yoga classes 3 years ago, I can now touch my toes.
2 until: 'Until' is used to indicate the time or moment when an action will finish. The term is often followed by a precise moment in time or an action which corresponds to a precise moment in time. In this sentence, 'until' tells us at what time Luna's interviews will stop.
2 since: 'Since' indicates the time at which an action began. In this case we want to know about the time that the action will finish.
2 at: 'She must continue at 5:00' indicates that Luna's interviews will 'recommence' or begin again at 5:00, which doesn't make sense given the context of the first sentence.
2 just at: 'She must continue just at 5:00' is grammatically incorrect. 'Just at 5:00' might indicate that an action will take place at precisely 5, however it cannot express when an action will finish, as the term 'until' does.

1 since: "Since" is similar to "because" or "as" in this sentence to express reason. Susie and Brian often work together on press conferences because they have good presentation skills. In the letter, Luna does not want to leave the store without a DVD because she was looking forward to watching a film that evening.
2 so that: "So that" shares the same meaning as "in order that" or "with the purpose that". Icarus needs new batteries for his calculator to finish his report, or in other words, he cannot finish his report without them. "So that" can also mean "with the result that", for example: Bob got up very late, so that he missed his bus and was late for work.
3 until: As a subordinate conjunction, "until" shares a similar meaning with "before" in negative constructions. The meeting will start after Horatio has finished his whiskey. "Until" can also mean "up to the time of", for example: Bruno walked in the rain until he was so tired he had to sit down.
4 Although: "Although" shares the same meaning as "even though", "regardless of (the fact that)" or "in spite of (the fact that)", and is usually found at the beginning of clauses. The term introduces the contrast between Phillip having a bad cold, and his decision to attend the sales conference.
5 while: "While" is used to introduce two clauses that happen simultaneously, or a continuous action that is interrupted by another. Every morning, Jean reads the newspaper at the same time as he is eating his breakfast. "While" can also be used in a similar way to "even though" and "although", for example: While Bruno appreciated the gesture, he could not accept the prize.

This is incorrect. Philip attempts to get Steffi to purchase more units of Bruno's Brew, he doesn't mention any other Delavigne perfumes. To "carry a line (of perfumes)" is to sell or distribute a stock of perfumes. "Yet" has a similar meaning to "still" (in negative sentences) or "at this present time" and can be situated before or after the verb. Example: "My film isn't ready yet" or "the end has not yet come".
This is correct. Steffi says that "Epikure Kosmetiks" order will be 80,000 units of Bruno's Brew' which, as Philip notes, is "was what you ordered last time." To "renew (an order)" is to continue an order so that it is the same as the previous one. Example: Our best customers renew their orders every year. "Last time" refers to the "previous occasion" or the "most recent instance".
This is correct. Steffi says that Epikure Kosmetiks have "sold (all their units of Bruno's Brew) in 2 months." In this context a "unit (of perfume)" refers to a bottle of perfume. "Sold" is the past form of the verb "to sell" (= to exchange for money).
This is incorrect. Steffi tells Philip that Epikure Kosmetiks have agreed to order more perfumes and that their current stock of perfume has been "sold" already. "Until" shares a similar meaning to "before", for example: You cannot leave until your work is finished.

1 so that: "So that" shares the same meaning as "in order that/to" or "with the purpose that".

The term introduces the contrast between Phillip having a bad cold, and his decision to attend the sales conference. He decided to attend the conference despite his cold, or regardless of his cold.
