The answers are after the jump:
Ryan: I'm sorry I'm late. I missed the bus.
Aziz: But I rang four times!
Ryan: I know. I've just seen all my missed calls. I was sleeping when you called.
Aziz: And you didn't hear the phone?
Ryan: No. Then the next time you rang, I was having a shower. I didn't hear the phone because I was listening to the radio and singing along.
Aziz: Ok, but I called you again at 8 o'clock.
Ryan: Yeah, I know. My phone was charging upstairs and I missed your call.
Aziz: Then I rang again half an hour later.
Ryan: Yeah, I was running for the bus and I couldn't answer my phone in time. It was still ringing while I was paying for my ticket but then it stopped. Anyway, I'm really sorry I'm late. Anyway, why were you ringing me?
Aziz: Oh, I just wanted to tell you I was going to be late because I had missed the bus. In fact, I've only just arrived myself. I got here about five minutes ago!
Hello! Ryan!
ReplyDeleteI like this blog. Because this is very helpful when studying. Thank you.
Hi teacher Ryan!!! thank you very much for doing this blog, it's great!! I'll put all my effort for use it regularly. OK, I tried to do this exercise without seen the answers, but is still complicated for me, I'm not sure about when I have to use the verbs with "ing", but I think all i need is more practice.
