Usa la forma correcta de estos verbos:
leave – have – have -get – get:
“I had an awful day yesterday! I got up late and so I didn’t have breakfast. When I left the house it was quarter to nine, and I start work at 9 o’clock!
tell – take – start – catch – have – explain – phone:
The car didn’t start. I had an important meeting with some Japanese clients, so I didn’t catch (‘take’ is possible) a bus – I phoned (‘took’ is possible) a taxi, which was expensive! The taxi driver took me to work and I told* my boss about the car (I didn’t explain* that I got up late).
* No se pueden intercambiar ‘told’ y ‘explain’. La frase tendría que ser así: ‘…explained TO my boss… (I didn’t tell MY BOSS that..)
go – forget – meet – read – ask – watch:
We met our clients. First we went into the meeting room, I read a report, we watched a video about our new products, but then one client asked some questions about the quality and material, and I forgot the answers completely!
win – think – drink – take – eat – do – ask – sell:
Luckily, my boss knew the answers. The Japanese thought I was stupid (logical) and so they didn’t ask me any more questions. Anyway, my boss did a wonderful job. She won the contract and sold the products. Then I took the clients to a restaurant, where they ate and drank for more than an hour.
So, in the end everything ended fine, although my boss is going to kill me tomorrow!
